Will Kinney on a universe made just for us.
Reverend Fred Jensen on poets on other planets.

The Science & Art Cabaret is an ongoing mash-up of creative and scientific tangents and ideas, intended to entertain and illuminate.

This month's theme addresses the earthly and cosmic question of our specialness-—are we unique in the vastness of the cosmos or are we banal? Are we special amid the stars or only amongst ourselves?
