There are an infinite number of points. Between two points is not as interesting as how these things are organised. Check out Cantor

I just hope that life does not get that bad that it crosses my mind.

No, many cancers are treatable today. You are unaware of decades of medical research? Ah, that explains it.

Yes but it's the stuff in it that matters So matter of definitions?

Was there a question in there?

Similar for GCSE results and boys are out performed by girls in every ethnic group except traveller of Irish heritage. Source: Ethnicity facts and figures Gov. UK.

You can look University entrants by ethnicity in the UK too. Whites are the lowest and have consistently been the lowest since 2006. https://www.ethnicity-facts-figures.service.gov.uk/education-skills-and-training/higher-education/entry-rates-into-higher-education/latest/

Thanks! @KJW and @swansont Just phenomena that did not make sense with the understanding that we had at the the time. One last one which is similar to the F1 track. Sticking my fishing rod in the water, it bent at an angle.

My example must be a common one, a firework display and watching bombs go off on news bulletins also.did not make sense. Very smart kids worked it out possibly? Sound travels much slower than light does, so you see an event before you hear it One of those beautiful awakening moments as a kid, when it finally makes sense. The other phenomenon that plagued me as a kid was watching a plane take off or F1 on TV during a summer event. The runway, track appears as a mirror or water, again I thought it was an artifact of the TV until I experienced it. This one is a bit harder to explain, it is to with hot layers of air and the associated refractive index, I think. Einstein said if you can't explain it simply to a child then you don't understand it, I don't think I remember it, probably because I don't understand it! It is harder to remember and recall half understood concepts. Actually that may have been Feynman who said that. @swansont may be able to explain it.

There is a biological aspect to this and it's perfectly normal and natural. We have a "minds eye" how we view, experience and remember our world. We update it with new experience like a journal. It is part of our and many animals survival. Totally normal.

At least Jocelyn Bell lived to receive extensive recognition in the scientific community and her contribution to the Nobel was arguably more significant than Franklin. They were products of the time, women, not as per men. Seems crazy today but at least we can say our society has moved forward quite quickly in this respect. Perhaps quicker within science than the wider community. I checked out Watson's controversial comments, not good. Crazy thing is, if Watson would have reviewed fairly recent high school demographics for examination achievements, A levels and University entrants, he would have found that white males under perform against other ethnic groups. So we (white British males) not the best lovers and not that bright either. The best gardeners on the planet though.

I had no idea, his book "DNA" was very good and "Watson and Crick" is synonymous with "Giant of science/Great achievement" or so I thought. I put in dispatched in PF and a biologist said he was more interested in Jimmy Cliff!

Light travels at a finite time, when an object reflects light at a certain distance it will take certain time to reach us on earth, when it is further away it will take longer.

I have been trying to eat more Beetroot, so I will check my urine next time I have a significant amount.

Never heard that, the only thing that colours my urine is Marrowfat peas.

I have interacted with three Russians, none of them mentioned that number at any time. My conclusion therefore is that 100% of Russians do not care or are not aware of that number.

My first cricket match. Watching the batman strike the ball on TV gave rise to a delay or so I thought. I thought it was an artifact of the camera like diffraction spikes. When I watched my first live match the delay was still there. How to explain it? At some point I was taught about light and the speed of light and also the speed of sound.

Iron Maiden fans like that number too, I don't it means that much Can you be specific with "many?" Was there a poll?

Beetroot the worst. A few cc of boiling water, a bit of fast conduction, expansion, tip the water off, a quick wipe, evaporation, some torque, beetroot! NB water from the kettle on the top not the sides, do it in the sink. Use a tea towel and rubber gloves. I play drums so I have to look after my hands, they ache after a set these days.

Yes this is a variation on the prison guards. I am in a cell with two doors with a guard on each. One door is freedom the other death. Death is guarded by a liar and freedom by a truth teller. You have one question to ask to get your freedom, what is it?

Inside a neutron star?

Nice image, I must have missed this in news feeds.

One I will read. Tks

Noticed that, I was worried for a second.
