Okay- I'm a dummy - but I'm always awed by the ability to detect these puppies -esp as we talk about finally beginning (yes I said that) to find the smaller/ terrestrial planets in systems. I just don't think our system is some great anomally... We have to do some spectral analysis in cosmology classes - but the greater math is beyond me... And... Its just incredible what we can do with simple things like comparing minute light shifts during occultations and... Cosmologist are either brilliant or bored individuals....
