SILLINESS: Blogatelle sends the news that the correct color of the universe is more of a beige that a turquoise, now that they look at it. I never understood the point of this study to begin with --I mean, it's the average color of the universe, not what the actual color of the universe. I mean, what would the point be of getting the average color of the Mona Lisa or any other painting you care to mention? Well, if you were an art scholar you could take the average color of the various paintings of various eras and see how that has changed over time if it has and then make grand pronouncements based on that data. Which you can't do with the average color of the universe as we only got one of those that we can really examine. This is, like, cute science. Right?
