...work may also shed new light on the most cosmic of questions: Where is the "missing mass" holding the galaxies and even the universe together? It could be countless neutrinos (actually, scientists estimate the number to be 1087, or one followed by 87 zeros). Their collective gravity could perhaps sufficiently slow down the current expansion of the universe, which has been under way since the Big Bang some 20 billion years ago. If the rush of galaxies away from one another could be reversed, they would eventually come together in a cataclysmic collapse...
...common with the archetypal "old stories" of love and tragedy that form our literary past. It's almost schematic in outline, obeying some huge Sophoclean unity of thirty years' tragedy.

Among his strands: individuals' experience of a mysterious "other" outside nature, the simple faith of believers and "cosmic awe" in encountering unusually saintly persons...
