That's very clever, but there is also a clear phallic reference indicated by the picture which seems to say that getting a PhD makes you even a bigger **** than you already were. :smile:

But, the really big picture is that the sum total of all people pushing out that boundary (whether those people have Ph.D.s or not) is much more than a little blip on the surface. That total of all human effort makes the surface expand like a supernova.
