"Explaining why the universe can be transparent"
Hawaii reality check. Here are the source publications -- NOT MADE IN HAWAII.

THE CONNECTION BETWEEN REDDENING, GAS COVERING FRACTION, AND THE ESCAPE OF IONIZING RADIATION AT HIGH REDSHIFT*
Naveen A. Reddy1,7, Charles C. Steidel2, Max Pettini3, Milan Bogosavljevi#263;4,5, and Alice E. Shapley6

SPECTROSCOPIC MEASUREMENTS OF THE FAR-ULTRAVIOLET DUST ATTENUATION CURVE AT z ~ 3*
Naveen A. Reddy1,6, Charles C. Steidel2, Max Pettini3, and Milan Bogosavljevi#263;4,5
"The collaborators of this research are Charles Steidel (Caltech), Max Pettini (University of Cambridge), Milan Bogosavljevic (Astronomical Observatory, Belgrade) and Alice Shapley (UCLA)."
None of these people live or work in Hawaii. They are not bringing income or spending their income in Hawaii, except when they visit as astro tourists.
This is what Hawaii is getting, a footnote.
"Footnotes *
Based on data obtained at the W.M. Keck Observatory, which is operated as a scientific partnership among the California Institute of Technology, the University of California, and NASA, and was made possible by the generous financial support of the W.M. Keck Foundation."
How much money is Hawaii getting from that footnote? The institutions of the authors' will get prestige, glory, and most importantly, more grant money for research. Where do you think that additional money is going to go? The Pahoa High School astronomy club?
The observatories on Mauna Kea have become the New Plantations. The obscenely fat plantation owners lived on the mainland, spent their money from Hawaii plantations on lavish trips to Europe and more "civilized" places while indentured Chinese and Japanese workers did the back breaking work in the plantation fields to pay off their indentured servitude so they could start their own lives in Hawaii.
There, made the non-Hawaii off-topic post on-topic for Hawaii island.
