when I first starting going online... at age 51... I needed a moniker and had to think long & hard about one that felt right.

I gravitated towards science as a child... along with literature, art, music, critters, and growing things. I've personally known a fair number of scientists and mathmaticians who shared my love of music or science fiction.

A number of America's founding fathers were amateur scientists... as well as writers, musicians ... and politicians.

Science is not about spouting "facts"... it about thinking and asking questions that will lead to some answers.. and more thinking. Sience uses facts that can be reproduced/proven to move forward with their search for answers. No one can prove how many angels can dance on the head of a pin... and frankly, why should anyway care?... you can create any number of scenerios... but it's still all just talk until you can tie it to reality.
