   I’m retired, but I still remember a rainy, blustery day with my father on the rocky shore below the cliffs near Filey in Yorkshire, when I was about 13. No-one else to be seen. I know what I was wearing; I can still feel the rain on my face. Something about it was just magic.

   Twinkle, twinkle, little star

   We know exactly what you are:

   Nuclear furnace in the sky,

   You’ll burn to ashes by and by.

   But tick, tick, tick pulsating star,

   Now we wonder what you are:

   Magneto-nucleo-gravity ball,

   Making monkeys of us all!

   And twinkle, twinkle, quasi-star,

   You’re the limit, yes you are:

   With such indecent energy,

   Did God not say you couldn’t be?

   - Attrib. G. Gamow and Nigel Calder, c. 1969
