Sorry if you feel offended Tim but I see you understand that if you are going to play in someone else’s sandbox, you should at least be courteous enough to learn the rules; I’m sure you would expect no less of those who play in your sandbox. I think you would feel more offended if I were to suggest you use inferior cheap materials in your construction project as if they were superior to what you currently know and use. Newton, Hertz, Faraday, Michelson, Galileo, Planck, Einstein, and many others are who you should be apologizing to; not me. The one thing I’ve found that virtually all scientist agree upon is: “The greater your knowledge, the more you realize how truly ignorant you are.” That’s why I wish I were still a teenager that knows everything. Your story is charming but I like the one about the 4 blind scientist who are asked to describe an elephant; one by touching its trunk, one by touching its ear, one by touching its tail, and one by touching its leg. The one touching the trunk said it was like a large snake; the one touching the ear said it was like a large leaf; the one touching the leg said it was like a pillar; the one touching the tail said it was like a rope hanging down from heaven and when you pull on it the heavens open up and flood the earth with waste.
