There's an old Science Fiction short story along those lines. Monks in some obscure monastery possible high in a Greek mountain, whose God given task was to count all the stars. Two visitors who had taken refuge and had set off on their onward journey looked up in the night sky and saw one by one the stars disappearing. Wish I could remember who wrote it. elegancemaisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10043236515999573762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227064496185547313.post-64398304717498124072018-07-11T17:51:19.597+01:002018-07-11T17:51:19.597+01:00There's more than one?There's more than one?Tom Stephensonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05979590950587415840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227064496185547313.post-83492667039658609192018-07-11T13:29:46.112+01:002018-07-11T13:29:46.112+01:00This programme certainly was.

Listening to the radio is quite foreign to me but the ideas of that comparison between grains of sand and the stars is absolutely amazing. The one thing that trouble me though Gwil - surely the number of grains of sand is constantly increasin - I always thought sand was constantly being made by the breaking down of rocks by the sea and the wind.The Weaver of Grasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13947971556343746883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227064496185547313.post-6183335141828835042018-07-11T10:29:55.467+01:002018-07-11T10:29:55.467+01:00For a 'phone-in' station, they do prefer t...For a 'phone-in' station, they do prefer their own opinions to anyone else's.
