Just one more reminder of two amazing entities



A new calculation by the worker bees stationed at the Keck Observatory in Hawaii puts the total number of stars in the Universe at.....

300 SEXTILLION

300 sextillion is 100 billion squared....multiplied by 30

The guy that did the final count is 11 years old and is dating 10 year Jackie Evancho from America's got talent.

I'm not actually sure which of these stories is more amazing. Have you heard that chick sing?


300 sextillion? Who got to add SEX to the numbers game? Would that honor have been bestowed on Archimedes?

The two gentleman involved in the new numbers are PIETER VAN DOKKUM from Yale and
CHARLIE CONROY from Harvard.

Note that his name is Charlie.....not Charles and not Chuck.

My gut feeling and the gut feeling of Dr. Francis Conlan from Santa Clara feel that the numbers are still rather low.

My opinion is based on the fact that The Creator is always creating new stars in order to offset the Black Holes excessive appetite of matter and light.

Dr. Conlan's ( Butch) opinion is based on the fact that he's a smart guy.

We have entirely different methods of reaching conclusions but always find enough humor
in all things.

One must find humor or one will not enjoy the irony of our human experience.

Math and Art make the world bearable.........................love makes it keep expanding

That's what Dr. Conlan and I should call each other.

Hey Math
Hey Art

What's up?

Today what's up is the simple fact that there is a sh.tload more stars then there were yesterday.
and
there's a ten year girl named Jackie who sings like a angel.

It's a good day.
