Few things warm the heart of a scientist more readily than a query from a young, curious mind, eager to learn about our universe. Why, just now I received this inquiring email:

R xxxxxx xxxxxx@hotmail.com to me Sean, Neutrons have no chemical properties and reflect no light, but they do have mass and occupy space =matter, and clouds of them will never be visible in space! I find it difficult to believe people who are supposed to be so smart are suck fucking retards! Cheers Retard , Robert

For the curious:

Always happy to help a fellow seeker of knowledge.
