In answer

Everything comes from something.

Nothing comes from nothing.

Just like paper comes from trees,

And glass comes from sand,

An answer comes from a question.

All you have to do is ask.

Sure, that's been fun, but mostly many aspects of my life feel as though they are on the verge of completely falling apart. It will be fine. It will.

Uh. Coffee time now.

We could create a separate course that targets science as it really works: hypothesizing a solution to a problem, gathering evidence to test the hypothesis, changing your mind if the evidence warrants it. The basics of the scientific method work for almost any inquiry throughout life; imagine the benefits if it were mandatory for us to understand it. -- Dave Wilson * Haverhill, Massachusetts * From a letter in Wired Magazine
