We talk about how knowlege is expanding and how the information available right at our fingertips is so massive that we couldn't even start to comprehend the enormity of its awesomeness.

How long until outer space is no longer res communis and belongs to the descendants of Barack Obama?
Until then, we are infinitesimal.
