Does your head hurt from too much studying?
Are the concepts of relativisitic astrophysics and cosmology too difficult?
Sometimes the concepts can cause you to think too much.
If you are doing so, or are one of the rare people who are susceptible, take a break and read this warning about exploding heads.

If you are the exploding heads type you might want to take a peek at the University Education Final Exam A University Education is a broad education.
