Wandering Into Wisdom

This blog chronicles the knowledge, insight and wisdom I encounter every day as a leadership consultant, executive coach, educator, father, friend and citizen. This site is dedicated to my father, Louis (Jack) Laughlin, who passed on to me an appreciation for wisdom. A special thanks to my friend Isaac Cheifetz, a businessman and journalist, who helped me understand the value of blogs and encouraged me to write one.

It turns out that the Hubble telescope isn’t just for looking far away but also back in time. If you look at galaxies a billion light years away you‘re also looking at them a billion years ago. It’s how astronomers are studying the origins of the universe. If digesting that concept gives you a bit of a headache you should listen to this astronomer explain what they’ve discovered.
