Just to clarify to anyone that may have taken my rant the wrong way...
I do think science is important, I like scientists, I respect the job they do, we have come a long way thanks to science and if it wasn't for scientists, I couldn't keep learning. *throws the shovel back*
Meanwhile, I'll keep learning and keep a level head by knowing much of this is theory- much of it strong theory, and of course much has indeed been proven.
Beautiful come back Craig, thank you.
I won't give up.
And you are absolutely spot on with pacing myself. So easy to let one subject consume me though - the more questions I ask and get the answers to, the more questions it brings, round and round and round and round, it doesn't stop.
Sometimes I feel so wired, it's almost as if it's up to me to solve the mysteries of the universe... tick tick tick goes my brain. And I can't even do math. I've been stuck on something the last few days so will start a thread in this forum if I'm unable find out myself.
It has to do with pulsars in white dwarf stars.
But, I like to learn, so as long as you guys are here to help me out, I'm very happy.
Oooh and guess what? Prof. Lawrence Krauss even answered me on facebook
. He said "yes" to a statement I made. I like it when scientists tell me "yes". Why? Because it never happens of course
. That's all he said, but I'm sure he's a busy man.
And then Shelley found out that I was friends with him on facebook and she nearly passed out right then and there in facebook land- because anyone who knows Shelley well, knows how much she loves Prof. Krauss. So she friended him and then he answered her, and he used a whole sentence for her
. I don't think her feet have hit the ground yet.
Brian Cox of course is much to do busy to answer anything fb, but we won't go there because he's a celebrity/rockstar/physics professor and all, so I guess he's forgiven.
Don't say anything Craig.
