I'd also like to know the name of the tune that closed out this segment. Vaguely sounds like _early_ Genesis @ 1974 or so. Anybody with a better trained ear ?

What was the music that played at the end of this segment?

The audio of Jon Stewart at the beginning of the segment reminded me of the reason why I refuse to watch or hear his TV program by choice: his tendency to use rude expletives while either commenting on a certain subject or interviewing a person (his interview with Jim Cramer of the Consumer News and Business Channel in 2009 was a good example).

Is it accurate to attribute the remark about the universe and human stupidity to Einstein? There is a lot of room for doubt about this:

My nitpicking about sourcing this quotation doesn't bear on the point of your thoughtful piece. But a skeptical bent and a concern with accuracy seems always relevant for OTM--right?
