Neutrinos: a different explanation

A follow-up to this post: I received a phone call today. R passed away last night, on 14-Jan-2012. He was 94. Cancer had spread from his bladder to his lungs. He was fortunate in a way Isaac was not: R never experienced any significant pain from his cancer. He was less fortunate in another: R passed away…

What made that eclipse special is its path intersected the location of the Stonehenge replica near Maryhill, Washington. A great gathering of pagans took place, to create a spiritual intersection at the same time as the astronomical one.
I spent about an hour last night writing a long blog post about research techniques. Why did I bother?
At the time, I thought it was because I’m still processing all I learned, and it would help to set it down. Late last night, I realized that there was another reason:
Isaac would have loved this.
