I have no idea if you'll answer me but what the heck...<BR/>Two questions:<BR/>1) I'm a new Mom to 2 25-month old twin girls (just adopted them from China). They are awesome. They seem to have a phenomenal interest...kinda bizarre...in stars and the moon and the sky etc. I have NO idea how to get the family involved in star-watching/gazing/etc. Do you have any advice? We really don't have any resources in our little NC town. Love to hear your ideas, please.....<BR/>2) Secondly, does the concept of infinity bother you? I'm not kidding....I really am interested....Does it bother you? The thought that stars go on and on and on and on....How do you really get your head around that? For my entire life, I have found it simply astounding and then when I learned about PI and other numerical infinity series etc in school, it just all added up to more "bothersome" feelings....How do you personally reconcile it?<BR/><BR/>Thanks for even thinking of entertaining my questions. I appreciate it!<BR/><BR/>-CindyW from NC<BR/>www.doublelucky.blogspot.comCindy from central NChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02776392171389704142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14895585.post-79829829186237074442007-09-15T17:28:00.000+01:002007-09-15T17:28:00.000+01:00You mean you didn't enjoy Grisha Perelman's papers...You mean you didn't enjoy Grisha Perelman's papers on 3-manifolds and Ricci Surgery?!?!<BR/><BR/>Add me to the list of "A PAPER I CAN UNDERSTAND!"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
