Re: Mind's Eye Re: Thinking Earth

Vam, Some years ago when my son and I were fortunate to meet, he mentioned his respect for a scientist called Feynman, that is why I mentioned it. My son is considerablly more intelligent than me.
 
You are right . I know very little. That is why I am here to learn from you. Of course you know everything. 
 
I suspect however that my purpose is not to entertain but to try with you to find truth. If you are not prepared to engage with me in this endeavour then so be it. I have other things to do, albiet they may be trivial.
 
One question:- How did I manage to receive such a vehament attack?
