Today was her housewarming. Janie checked over everything several times to make sure it was all ready.

The house was completely spotless. She'd scrubbed every corner and made sure it was nice and clean for anyone who came by. Every picture on the wall was straight and the furniture all looked picture perfect. She had lots of snacks prepared and a few activities so people wouldn't get bored. Later, there would be a nice dinner.

She wasn't sure where Ian or Kelly were, but as long as they weren't making messes, it didn't matter at the moment.  Everything had to be perfect for the party.

" ... so, everyone knows Hawking is right, so it would be harder to discredit something big that he theorized because of the resulting press coverage?"

I'm working on a theory that would undermine one of his. Ian shook his head. Being discredited in the scientific community is not the same as being discredited when it is only fame. Discrediting someone like an actress has little impact on their career but ..uh .. for a scientist that could end your career.

"But isn't that different? Like, standing on the shoulders of giants or whatever that Newton guy said?"

Hmmm.. that saying is for research that builds off of someone else's work... uh.. not turning it over and disproving it.
