Driving the kids to preschool this morning.
I: "Daddy, does everybody see the same sun?"
M: "If it's day here, is it night in China?"
A short lecture on the earth-sun geometry and rotation of the earth ensues.
I: "But daddy, if the earth is spinning why don't all of these cars fall off?"
Just curious - what in your estimate is the proportion of academics in math intensive fields who have 2 or more kids?
