I remember it was in the new books section of the school library and I was attracted to it immediately and spent the day reading it instead of paying attention in my classes. I need to read it again. Thanks for bringing it up!

I read that ages ago. Back in high school, in fact (I'm 46). I don't remember it except the chapter where time is a flock of birds that you have to try to catch to stay youthful. The children can catch them but always let them go and the adults can never catch them.

Mindblowing. I never even thought of things that way!

That's actually smaller than I would have thought. I wouldn't have expected our solar system to even be visible in comparison.

Wow.

Mercury arc valves remain in use in some South African mines and Kenya (at Mombasa Polytechnic - Electrical & Electronic department).

Amazing how we're still using such old technology in some places when we have semiconductors.

That said, a microscope that generates its own light without electricity could be quite useful...
