HW #7 (due next Tuesday) • Star problems A Maybe Planet, Orbiting Its Maybe Sun 7 to 12 times as massive as Jupiter star is 85% as massive as the Sun, but less than 0.1% its age near-infrared image http://www.nytimes.com/2008/09/18/science/space/18planet.html 5 th Dwarf Planet • 5th dwarf planet Haumea and its two moons Hi'iaka and Namaka, • Named after the Hawaiian fertility goddess • Moons after the patron goddess of Hawaii and a water spirit. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:2003EL61art.jpg 1/3 the mass of Pluto Matter • Matter is material Energy • Energy is what makes matter move • In English Units, we use calories to measure energy • In science (and in this class), we will use joules to measure energy 3 basic categories of energy • Kinetic energy – energy of motion • Potential energy – energy being stored for possible conversion into kinetic energy • Radiative energy – energy carried by light Kinetic energy • Kinetic energy = ½ mv2 • m is mass in kg • v is velocity in meters/s • A joule has units of kg-m2/s2 • How much energy does a 2 kg rock have if it is thrown at 20 m/s? • Kinetic energy = ½ mv2 • A) 200 J • B) 400 J • C) 40 J • D) 800 J Answer • KE = ½ * 2 * (20) *(20) = 400 joules Thermal energy • Temperature – average kinetic energy of particles • Higher temperature – more kinetic energy, particles moving faster • For examples, air molecules around you are moving at ~500 m/s Temperature scales • In America, we use Fahrenheit • Water freezes at 32 degrees F • Water boils at 212 degrees F • Everywhere else, they use Celsius • Water freezes at 0 degrees C • Water boils at 100 degrees C In Science • Temperature is measured in Kelvin • Zero Kelvin is absolute zero – nothing moves • Add 273.15 to the Celsius temperature to get the Kelvin temperature • 273.15 Kelvin = 0 degrees Celsius Gravitational Potential Energy • Gravitational Potential Energy released as an object falls depends on its mass, the strength of gravity, and the distance it falls • For example, your gravitational potential energy increases as you go farther up in the air • This is because you hit the ground at a faster speed if you jump from a higher distance Converting Mass to Energy • What is the most famous formula in the world? E = mc2 • m is mass in kilograms • c is speed of light in meters/s • So E is in joules • very small amounts of mass may be converted into a very large amount of energy and Who came up with it? • How much energy can be produced if you can convert 10 kg of material in energy? • E = mc2 • A) 3.0 x 108 J • B) 3.0 x 1016 J • C) 9.0 x 1017 J • D) 9.0 x 1010 J Answer • E = 10 kg * (3 x 108 m/s) * (3 x 108 m/s) • E = 10* (9 x 1016) J • E = 90 x 1016 J • E = 9.0 x 1017 J Mass-Energy • So Mass is a form of potential energy • Where is one place where you see mass converted into energy? Atoms • Atoms are made up of 3 types of particles • Protons – positive charge (+1) • Electrons – negative charge (-1) • Neutrons – neutral charge (no charge) • Protons and Neutrons are found in the nucleus Elements • Different elements have different numbers of protons • The properties of an atom are a function of the electrical charge of its nucleus Charge • If an atom has the same number of electrons and protons, it has a neutral charge • More electrons than protons, negatively charged • More protons than electrons, positive charged • Neutrons have neutral charge so don't affect the charge of an atom Definitions • Atomic Number – Number of protons • Atomic Mass – Number of protons and neutrons • U235 – atomic mass 92- atomic number • usually 92 not written • Isotopes – Same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons First nuclear weapons • Worked by nuclear fission • Use Uranium-235 • If a free neutron runs into a U-235 nucleus, the nucleus will absorb the neutron without hesitation, become unstable and split immediately • The energy released by a single fission is due to the fact that the fission products and the neutrons, together, weigh less than the original U-235 atom Atoms make up molecules • H2O • CO2 • CH4 • Atoms made up with 2 or more different atoms are called compounds Star Formation • How do we know that stars are continually forming? Age of Solar System versus the Universe • Solar System has an age of ~4.6 billion years • Universe has an age of ~13.7 billion years • All stars did not form at the beginning Astrophysical Analyses of the ages of Stars • The Sun has an estimated lifetime of ~10 billion years • Some stars have estimated lifetimes of ~10 million years Discovery of apparent star-forming regions • Discovery of regions where stars surrounded by clouds of hydrogen gas and dust Eagle Nebula ("Pillars of Creation") young open cluster of stars region of hydrogen gas and dust The tower is 9.5 light-years high, about twice the distance from our Sun to the next nearest star. Hubble image http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Eagle_nebula_pillars.jpg Molecular Cloud • A star-forming cloud is called a molecular cloud because low temperatures allow Hydrogen to form Hydrogen molecules (H2) • Temperatures like 10-30 K • Denser than surrounding regions • The clouds can reach tens of light years in diameter and have an average density of 10²–10³ particles per cubic centimeter – The average density in the vacuum of space in our solar system is one particle per cubic centimeter Triggered Star Formation • In triggered star formation, one of several events (e.g., supernova explosion) might occur to compress a molecular cloud and initiate its gravitational collapse. • As a region gets denser, its gravity gets higher • http://coolcosmos.ipac.caltech.edu/resources/infor mal_education/movies/SNR-VGA.mov Or • A region might be dense enough to collapse on its own Condensing • Molecular clouds tends to be lumpy • These lumps tend to condense into stars • That is why stars tend to be found in clusters Protostar • The dense cloud fragment gets hotter as it contracts • The cloud becomes denser and radiation cannot escape • The thermal pressure and gas temperature start to rise and rise • The dense cloud fragment becomes a protostar When does a protostar become a star • When the core temperatures reaches 10 million K, hydrogen fusion can start occurring Things you need to know • Fusion rate increases with increasing temperature • There is a relation between thermal pressure and gravity Classification of Stars • Stars are classified according to luminosity and surface temperature • Luminosity is the amount of power it radiates into space • Surface temperature is the temperature of the surface Luminosity-Distance Formula • Apparent brightness = Luminosity 4 x (distance)2 Usually use units of Solar Luminosity LSun = 3.8 x 1026 Watts Measuring Distance to Stars • Measuring distances to stars is much harder to measure than brightness • But to determine the Luminosity of the star, we need to know the distance to it Wien's Law • Inverse relationship between the wavelength of the peak of the emission of a black body and its temperature • λ = 0.00290/T • λ is in meters • T is in Kelvin One nanometer = 1 x 10-9 m Surface Temperature • Determine surface temperature by determining the wavelength where a star emits the maximum amount of radiation • Surface temperature does not vary according to distance so easier to measure 1913 Who were these people?

T20 win delights Dhoni
India skipper praises players after Melbourne triumph
Last Updated: 03/02/12 4:00pm
Mahendra Singh Dhoni: Pleased to be on the winning side
India captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni hailed an "exceptional" fielding display from his team after Friday's Twenty20 international victory over Australia at the MCG.
In what has been a largely forgettable tour Down Under thus far, India picked up their first victory by eight wickets to square the two-match T20 series at 1-1.
There were four run outs in Australia's below-par 131 all out, a total India surpassed in the final over thanks to an unbeaten half-century from opener Gautam Gambhir (56 not out).
"It is always good to be on the winning side, the boys were exceptional in the field, probably the best fielding I have seen. It will be hard to beat this effort."
MS Dhoni Quotes of the week
Speaking after the match, Dhoni said: "It is always good to be on the winning side, the boys were exceptional in the field, probably the best fielding I have seen. It will be hard to beat this effort.
"We are a side that relies a lot on a good start, not about the runs, a good, calm start is what we look for.
"Praveen (Kumar) bowled with the new ball, forcing the openers to make mistakes and the spinners did well too, they went for a few runs in between but overall it was a good effort by the bowlers and equally by the top three batsmen," he added.
After guiding Australia to a 31-run victory in his first match as Twenty20 captain, Friday's defeat was hard to take for home skipper George Bailey.
The 29-year-old scored only three runs before he became Ravindra Jadeja's second run-out victim after the all-rounder had earlier accounted for Aaron Finch's dismissal.
"Losing is part and parcel of the game, we were well short with the bat tonight."
George Bailey Quotes of the week
"Losing is part and parcel of the game, we were well short with the bat tonight. Four run-outs was the big difference. We were clearly out-fielded," Bailey said.
"The two run outs of Finch and myself really slowed us up."
He added: "We have a great bunch of guys, we are trying to build onto something, we have put some game plan together but the key is to be consistent."

"Not for me"
I enjoy macho male driven storylines, but this one failed to engage me in any way. Not horrible, just not very gripping or interesting.
I don't rehash what the book is about because it usually is covered sufficiently in the publishers summary and a review is about how you feel about the story.
I felt nothing about this book and had a hard time remembering it days after reading it...
"narration was awful"
I could not finish do tothe narration. Too distracting. The sound effects were ridiculous, either you narrate unabridged or produce an abridged performance.
"Purchased every available audiobook in the series."
I am really enjoying this series, quirky perhaps a little far fetched but at least it hasn't veered off into relationship hell with, wives, kids, lovers being killed, kidnapped or otherwise menaced. There is of course some personal life details, thankfully this is more actual investigation less melodrama.
"A good story"
A litte far fetched, also it is my impression the author has a bit of national hubris...
Still, I enjoyed the book and purchased the next three in a 20 plus series.
"I like the storyline"
However, the narration really annoyed me inthe beginning. The story was engrossing so I hung in there and tried to tune out the very bad accents and male voices.
"So-so. Suffering as a series"
I enjoyed the first two, but as a series starting to suffer from hyperbole. I don't think I'll be listening to another any time soon.
"A solid listen"
Publisher's summary was accurate, the story moved along nicely. Well worth a credit and a decent new series.
"Narration was a little slow"
True to form, Connelly is descriptive and detailed in his most recent portrayal of Bosch in procedural police drama. A solid outing with the exception of the narrator who was not fluid and tended to draw out and slow the dialog even though it seemed to be written for a different pace.
"I think I'm done"
No criticism of the writing, only content. Too melodramatic, she has gone too far. Yes people die, life happens, but in the normal course of life there is usually small bright moments that sustain us. Everyone in this story is or should be contemplating death in a very very, yes, BLEAK way.
I wasn't going to get the third (or fourth) but like a bad accident I kept watching. Sadder yet, there is literally NO fun or humor in this book, in these fictional lives and yet they are portrayed as having good lives.
Still, so well written, but i wish she would inject some real life folly into the characters.
"Getting more noir-ish"
A little sadder, still so well written, great dialog if only it were not so so very bleak. Bleak is the closest I can come to describe the vein of emotion that runs through the story.

New to Typophile? Accounts are free, and easy to set up.
hello typophile.
I want to use this typo in a poster am making for ICOGRADA design week 2007, mumbai.
am not happy with it...plz tell me whats wrong with this?
The theme for this year is DESIGN LOCAL.
|design local.pdf
What about it aren't you happy with? Concept? Type style? Weight? What?
I suppose there are some spacing issues, and the proximity of the 'n' and 'c' is a bit tight, but overall it's a really nice idea. I read it instantly.
Your trying to combine one concept with a graphic that has nothing to relate it to. Make the graphics and the concept driving it relate. Whats more important the look of the type or the idea that drives the promotion? "Stops at all stations" is very weak and might not read or be held open when printing. Think about the printer putting ink to paper. He/she will give you all the posters you request but the overs might be 200%. What that means is to make that super thin type hold open 1 out of 3 posters will be good and 2 out of 3 posters will end up in the trash. A very expensive design. Your design should be more than just good looking/cleaver type design.
The transition between curve and straight (looking at the pdf), is too abrupt, especially on the d, s* and c. I read "design logical", which I think is a product of the words being so close to each other and sharing parts of characters.
* which needs redrawing
Its a little 'space age' mate. very 2001.
read this:
then do it again.

What sheen should I use
Just remodeled my kitchen which now extends into my eating area/family rm. I plan on painting the entire area with the same color, there is very little painting to be done in the kitchen area, due to backsplash. Some of the area is high traffic, where we come in from garage/area around patio dr, the rest is basciall fam rm walls. There are some imperfections on one wall, (in dark area) due to my lack of skills at drywall repair. Flat, eggshell or satin? Help me decide! (If it helps I am an empty nester with no grandkids yet!)
Eggshell is typical it's what most people run with, Satin will most likely be too bright and show off all of your handywork... flat will hide your imperfections the best... however durability is not there with the flat... if the paint you are looking at has a sheen between flat and eggshell this may perhaps be the winner, I know Ben Moore has a matte finish that looks great after cure... gives the durability of eggshell without the sheen.
Matte is marketed as being as durable as eggshell but I still haven't really found one that really is that durable. Aura Matte is probably the best one out there, but really if you want true durability, you need to use an eggshell. Yes, it's shiny, but that is the tradeoff.
this is one of the best blogs I have seen for information.
She gives colors and sheens for every room and they are magnificent.

My husband and I have only agreed on 1 name if our little one is a boy (we find out next Tuesday. YAY!!), which is Owen David. Hubbys name is David. We both love the name and again, it is the ONLY name we can agree on so far for a boy.
I only know one other Owen and that is a high school friends son. I'm wondering now if this is a name that will be the new Aiden in 4 years. I checked the popularity in the US on babycenter and it said 4000 out of every million babies. Honeslty, that doesn't seem too bad but what do you ladies think? How many Owen's do you know????

Freedom to Search
Free software may stem from a research mind-set, where shared results lead to a greater good. Free software has built this around various licenses such as GPL and BSD. The ideals behind free software have spread beyond software and can also be seen in other areas: documentation, game mods, illustrations, music - all types of content creation can be licensed in an open and free way.
One problem with all these licenses, as well as the plethora of closed and proprietary offerings makes it hard to find proper, open, material to start from when creating derived works. Here, creative commons enters the picture with CC Search. To quote the website, CC search is:
With CC Search, we give you quick and easy access to the freely licensed content available from many of the world's top content providers.
The metadata attached to our licenses allow content providers easy ways to search within their libraries for licensed content. ...
Recently CC Search has released a new beta version with a new interface. The goal of the redesign was to be able to be able to work with more search result providers.
Even if CC Search gives you a result it is important to double check that the license permits what you have in mind. Here, again, creative commons must be given credit. Their system with signs makes it easy to locate the license that you are after.
Adriaan de Groot (from KDE, NLUUG and FSFE) has created a similar system for common source code licenses. I like to his blog although the proper link seems to be down as I write this.
If you want to search for source code with a given license, try using koderz. The idea seems great, but I have no first hand experience in using the service in any real project (yet).

Two cheap runs keep Pineda stuck on 'nine'
Looking for his 10th win of the season – and the first of August – Michael Pineda retired the first nine batters he faced tonight, something the Seattle Mariners and Chicago White Sox took note of.
Sox manager Ozzie Guillen tried an entirely different approach in the fourth inning, and it wound up being the difference for Chicago, as the Sox rode John Danks pitching to a 3-0 victory.
"The first time through the lineup, Chicago saw what Michael was doing and they couldn't get a base runner," pitching coach Carl Willis said. "That's why they played it differently in …

Mortgage Giants Leave Legal Bills to the TaxpayersSubmitted by bobbyw24 on Mon, 01/24/2011 - 09:07
By GRETCHEN MORGENSON | NY Times
Since the government took over Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, taxpayers have spent more than $160 million defending the mortgage finance companies and their former top executives in civil lawsuits accusing them of fraud. The cost was a closely guarded secret until last week, when the companies and their regulator produced an accounting at the request of Congress.
The bulk of those expenditures — $132 million — went to defend Fannie Mae and its officials in various securities suits and government investigations into accounting irregularities that occurred years before the subprime lending crisis erupted. The legal payments show no sign of abating.
Documents reviewed by The New York Times indicate that taxpayers have paid $24.2 million to law firms defending three of Fannie's former top executives: Franklin D. Raines, its former chief executive; Timothy Howard, its former chief financial officer; and Leanne Spencer, the former controller.

Odd. 3 Executives @ $8M per head = $24 M legal fees wasted.
Get some sturdy yellow ribbon & tie it around the old oak tree... Jury of their peers, a circuit judge... maybe a violinist? What could it cost to wrap this up?
Trillions disappear... Nobody found guilty?

Local band competes in Illinois Teen Battle of the Bands
Staff Report
Rockford-area band Desolation Row is advancing to the Regional Competition for the Illinois Teen Battle of the Bands.
After a win at the local battle in Sycamore, Ill., they are advancing to the regional competition at the Algonquin Founders Days Festival July 29. With a win at Algonquin, they would advance to the finals at the Ilinois State Fair.
Desolation Row is the only Rockford-area band to compete in this event, with most of the bands coming from the greater Chicago area.
For the last nine years, members of the Illinois Park & Recreation Association's Teen Committee have been cooperating to host a unique opportunity for teen bands in Illinois.
The committee is responsible every year for coordinating the numerous local teen battle of the bands events that take place all over the state, placing winners into regional competitions, and finally running the state finals, which take place every August at the Illinois State Fair.
Approximately 120 bands participate in the event each year and compete to win prizes that have included everything from studio time to band makeovers.
Judges give the bands feedback at each level of competition, and the top bands often win additional chances to play at other events, along with other prizes.
Desolation Row is a favorite in the Rockford area, performing at area establishments like the Hope and Anchor in Loves Park, Logan's Bar and Grill in Freeport, along with local festivals. They have opened for national touring act Caroline's Spine, and they recently opened for national touring act Fill The Silence.
Desolation Row consists of Alex Spors, Jarrett Finley, and Jacob and Jared Hoey. Alex, Jacob and Jared are cousins, while Alex and Jarrett have been friends since first grade.
Alex and Jarrett both graduated from Winnebago High School in 2011 and are both college sophomores. Jared and Jacob are both upperclassmen at Stillman Valley High School. They have been playing together for more than three years, and put on an awesome show with musical numbers ranging from songs by Bon Jovi and Def Leppard to Papa Roach and The Black Keys.
The band can be found on their Facebook fan page and at www.desolationrow.net.

Help with my bare root roses
I am completely new to gardening. I have odered 21 rose bush , out of which 4 has already arrived and i planted them. Its really very confusing as each of the major rose sellers give different instructions. Add compost or not , water regularly or no watering untill spring, mound the canes.. I really don't know which to follow. I live in Melbourne, Australia..we have clay soil. No snow, temp doesn't get below 2 degree Celsius. No snow. Bit wet here. I have planted 4 with little compost added. Status of them are :
mr Lincoln: already had very few leaves , those leaves have grown
papa meilland : starting to leaf from red swelling it had.
perfume delight: no sign of anything
i planted them all last week.
our spring starts from September. suggestion pls
am i doing right?
any help much appreciated regarding watering and planting rest of my roses.we have clay soil but not very heavy.
Soak them in buckets several hours or days before planting. Then soak them in with a lot of water, over 5 gallons, to settle the soil. Don't tamp clay soil or even step on it when it is wet. Then mound the plants or spray with an anti-transpirant to prevent dehydration. Remove any white shoots that are exposed above the mound, as they will not survive in the sun.
The initial watering with last for 2-3 weeks in winter. When new growth appears through the mound (about a month), reduce the mound with a flow of water from the hose, or very carefully remove it by hand--new shoots are very fragile.
Young plants will use 2-3 gallons of water per week in spring, or twice that when they are 3 feet wide in hot weather. You can fertilize very lightly once they are leafed out.
As to soil preparation, best practice is to prepare the bed uniformly rather than deep holes with special soil. I dig 12" deep with a few inches of manure or finished compost (compost in the US sense, not UK sense). Alkaline soil may need a pH adjustment. Maintain a mulch of organic material 2-3 inches deep at all times. This will improve the soil over the years. Take great care never to compact the soil when it is wet.

Feds, SF tussle over America's Cup use of Alcatraz
SAN FRANCISCO The latest battle for control of Alcatraz Island is under way. Many have laid claim to the wind-swept rock in the middle of the San Francisco Bay since the last prisoner left the federal land in 1963. American Indians occupied the island for 19 months ending in 1972. And politicians have floated the idea of building a casino or even a new San Francisco 49ers football stadium on Alcatraz.
Today, the National Park Service and organizers of the America's Cup are tussling over Alcatraz's role in the Super Bowl of yacht racing. The island will offer some of the best views of the most prestigious competition when multi-million dollar boats take to the San Francisco Bay in 2012 and 2013. Alcatraz sits almost directly in the middle of the proposed race course and offers 360-degree views of the bay.
But the island already receives 1.4 million visitors a year and is at capacity during the summer tourist season. Therein lies one of the main sources of tension over how to balance competing priorities that arose when San Francisco was selected to host the 34th America's Cup contest.
The National Park Service manages the Golden Gate National Recreation Area, which includes Alcatraz and much of the race course. The city of San Francisco is in charge of satisfying environmental regulations, securing government permits and spearheading planning for the event.
The two got off to a rocky start when the city released a draft environmental impact report over the summer stating Alcatraz would be closed to the public and given over to well-heeled event sponsors and other VIPs for private viewing of the race. The report also made similar claims about Fort Baker at the foot of the Golden Gate Bridge. Both are popular tourist destinations.
"All lands and facilities in the Golden Gate National Recreation Area, including Alcatraz and Fort Baker, will remain open to the public throughout the entire period of the races," park officials declared in rejecting that proposal.
Today, the city's America's Cup project manager says the episode was a misunderstanding rooted in poorly written passages in the report.
Project manager Michael Martin said that organizers did discuss setting up private viewing areas for sponsors. But that idea was scrapped after park officials made it clear the America's Cup would have to abide by the same rules as the public when visiting the island.
The park service forbids any kind of seating - from bleachers to folding chairs - and limits picnicking to a dock area with obstructed views on Alcatraz. There are no food vendors on the island.
"There won't be any great accommodations," said park service spokeswoman Alexandra Picavet. "Because of that, Alcatraz may not be the best place to watch."
Park officials said America's Cup organizers will have to go through the same permitting process the public must go through to secure the prison for after-hour functions. Organizers plan to host parties in the prison's cell block in the evenings.
The America's Cup is expected to create 8,000 jobs and inject more than $1.4 billion into the region's economy during planning, construction and the actual racing, which will take place in a series of contests in 2012 and 2013. But the millions of spectators over that time- with 500,000 on peak days-will test the Bay Area's transportation network, sanitation systems and the environment during about 50 days of racing.

Guest Rorke Miller shares simple tips for using and creating a stepped dowel system as opposed to traditional dowels.
More in Home Improvement
Traditional pin dowels work well in edge joining, but aren't good for pegging or pin joining. A stepped dowel is used in conjunction with a stepped drill bit to create a very specific pilot hole for the dowel. The wide head of the stepped dowel allows it to work in cross grain, thus relieving one of the shortcomings of traditional dowels.
Using a Stepped Dowel
Stepped dowels can be used in melamine and MDF as well as a variety of woods. The dowels themselves are available in different wood varieties. They also come in different sizes for use with 1/2" and 1-1/2" stock.
With wooden dowels, a router can be run along the edge of the board after making the joint, which is not possible with screws or nails. Stepped dowels can also be used to take the place of screws in decking.

We asked -- and it took a while to get an answer -- but HISD finally sent us an agenda for the May 3 girls' program. Which was decorated with a flowerpot, a teapot and the headline "Fifth Grade Tea Party." Speakers included the Sharpstown High dance team, cheerleaders and two Miss Teen USA contestants.
HISD spokesman Terry Abbott scoffs at anyone wondering about reinforcing tired stereotypes. Such a claim "simply isn't true," he says. "The programs were very similar."
Whatever you say. We just think it's a shame the "Barefoot & Pregnant" speaker apparently had a scheduling conflict.

Just wondering if this is any good. It seems like a really good deal and since I have been spending money like mad lately, I am looking for a low cost way to hook up my corney keg. http://www.beveragefactory.com/draft...its/ehpk.shtml
If you don't want to build taps into a kegerator, that's a decent way to go. Beverage factory is a good company, i've bought through them many times. You may want to increase the beer hose line length though.
I don't want to drill yet because this is just our secondary fridge not a dedicated beer fridge.
It's a good stopgap then. When you're ready to drill, all you'll need are the faucets.
cool, thanks for the help.
That is what I used for the past three years. Just drilled today!

Welcome to Earth! It's a planet having an iron core, with two-thirds of its surface covered by water. Earth orbits a local star called the Sun, the light of which generates the food supply for all the millions of species of life on earth. The dominant species on Earth is the human being, and you're one of the six billion of them! Humans have iron in their blood, and their bodies are composed of two-thirds water, just like the planet they live on. The physical composition of the Earth, its people and everything on it contains an electro-magnetic field which is not yet fully understood. Theories and legends about the origin of Earth, people and life itself abound, however they are not commonly discussed. The bulk of earth's people spend their time immersed in daily activities, leaving the big questions for later. "Who are we? Where did we come from? Where are we going? How will we get there?" Many religions and philosophies have attempted to answer these questions over the years, but so far none has given an answer that everyone on the planet can accept. In contrast to all the disagreement, the similarities among people on earth are far, far greater than any differences. Welcome again to Earth! Enjoy your stay, and try to stay calm.
