Three Questions, April 22, 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?

A gorgeous white flower, all by itself while on my walk today?

What did I learn today?

They have found the rest of the mass of the universe. For a long time astrophysicists have puzzled over the mass estimates for the universe, they were always 50% too low. Turns out they hadn’t properly accounted for the clouds of hydrogen mist. These things are absolutely massive in size.

What made me happy today?

We interviewed a new teacher today and he did an absolutely amazing job, always makes me happy to find a new teacher with skills and passion.
