this is an unnecessarily negative comment but astrophysicists get too much credit because of their cool sounding title.

I thought it was the oldest joke in the book that at the start of the academic year, physicists pronounce to all and sundry they're superior to all non-physicists. They then they spend the rest of the academic year fighting over what the most superior branch of physics is.

As they say, the best jokes have an element of truth to them...
