We live in a society exquisitely dependent on science and technology, in which hardly anyone knows anything about science and technology. ~ Carl Sagan

Three Questions, March 16, 2025

You can find the background to The Three Questions in my recent post about it. I’ll be answering the questions each day for the next year and putting this experience into a book. Here we go!

What was the most beautiful thing I encountered today?

I went down a rabbit hole watching weather videos today and some of the videos of the sky during tornadoes were absolutely amazing.

What did I learn today?

Today I saw a graphic about the distance from Earth to the moon, Mars and the distance to the outer reaches of the galaxy, it’s amazing how big it all is. There are 12 light minutes to Mars, 4.2 light years to Proxima Centauri and 26,000 light years to the center of the Milky Way.

What made me happy today?

The weather has been really rainy lately and today was supposed to be another rainy day. But instead it was just windy and cold, what made me happy was the ability to walk outside instead of having to go to the gym.
