Bike helmet laws may kill more people than they save.
I should not have watched this collection of George W. Bush clips while eating lunch.
Do you think there are more grains of sand on earth or more stars in the sky? Someone has figured it out and stars wins it by some orders of magnitude. And that’s not all.
Would you have children if you knew they were likely to inherit a deadly disease? One of my former students provides some very well-considered thoughts on the matter.
This is some of the most stunning time-lapse video I have ever seen.
So about 10 ^ 19 grains of sand vs. 10 ^ 23 stars (generously rounding 7.something up to 10). Pocket-change compared to the number of atoms in the universe, which has been estimated at 10 ^ 80. But even that is trivial compared to the uniqueness of each human being. God enabled DNA from a husband & wife to form 10 ^ 2,017 different (or non-twin) children. But even “identical” twins have unique personalities.
