Welcome!
I think this is an appropriate image for this period of digital reorganizing. It is a walk among the weeds, and I say that for one reason. The image above has never been rearranged by some poor fool insisting on being noticed with a pile of rocks to note a path for a wanderer. Do not worry. I’ve been to this place. It doesn’t take long to discover that wanderer’s existence as a bottle cap, the old kind you had to pry off. It had a bit of rusty desperation, and it dissolves to this day.

The difficulty is knowing how everything happens all at once and why everything is connected to everything else. Wicked, right? Maybe not, […]
Galileo
Galileo knew that most people would predict that a heavy body (H) would fall faster than a lighter body (L). But, his eyes were fixed on our solar system, and these bodies were not falling, so he conducted a thought experiment to prove another possible prediction. Science and art are wonderfully connected by experimental thinking. […]
