first class and reviews -

I loved the dynamic of the first class and lack of math I'm sure relieved a lot of pressure including myself. It is also nice because it gives us all a chance to start working with one another before we start needling each other.

The articles: The first article was a nice fluffy intro to things a good start to a scary topic. It wasn't all that in depth but I felt it was perfect for an intro. The first link to all the simulator project was a lot of fun and very interesting though a little more explanation for what each was about would have been nice. I will go back and explore this link some more. The last to articles where a little more over my head but I did start finally having a little recall occur. The last article, I just kept thinking about black holes and black body radiation and the incoherent or coherent space/step/wave/unknown. In other words it got me thinking but a lot of the information is still over my head, but seeing that top physicist still disagree on the two theories I feel lost in good company. Maybe when I finish the last article some light will shine my way unless it is absorbed in the black space and bypasses me completely.

I appreciate the exercise of pondering, but its nice to know that no one knows. Regardless of age, profession...though one may have thought of these things more than another, or had particular training-- It is a good reminder that we are all children in wonder.
