It is probably an eventuality and may as well occur soon because of the research opportunities on other worlds.

How did astronomy first attract you?

When I was 14 and had gotten a pair of new glasses with a prescription that actually worked, I was walking outside on a clear night and when I came to a section of my residential area in which the streetlights had been shot out I looked up at the sky and felt as though I would fall upwards (even though I knew that to be impossible the vertigo was real) and I have been fascinated with space ever since, although to varying degrees due to the circumstances of life requiring my more immediate attention such as finding work and every dang thing else of getting along with transient people.


Why aren't more people interested in mathematically based science? Doesn't it seem odd how some people who claim to have an interest in science can spout nothing more than philosophical rhetoric derived from biology and geology and yet know virtually nothing about physics, chemistry, or anything that requires mathematics rather than conjectural essays in order to answer the questions of the field?

Mathematics typically describes natural phenomena ideally. In the real world, systems aren't isolated and don't behave ideally. Statistics are used and are often abused. We are still pretty much in the infancy of medical sciences where a lot of what is done is simply descriptive.


What part of your anatomy would you willingly trade in for a new one?

I'd trade my human body for car parts.

Can you read upside down?

Yes.


Do you mark in your books when you read them? Do you highlight passages or thoughts you liked or find important?

Not as much these days, but I used to highlight and write in the margins in textbooks. Sometimes I did in regular books if it wasn't something I wanted to keep in excellent condition. Now I will sometimes write down quotes and certain passages that I either like or I like how author wrote that section. Unfortunately, my filing away such things has a lot to be desired.

What was your favorite school subject while growing up?

Probably Maths at primary school Much later on textiles or music.

Which subject do you wish you were better at?

Math, all of it.

How is babby formed?

Mattress Mambo?

Do you regularly go against your gut feeling?

Dear Kevinjh, Just in case you wondered, we DID get the reference to Deus and Iesus. We are just being subtle, like you. When you aren't smuggling banshees.

I try to make friends with it so no, I try not to. The gut feeling tends to be much wiser just sometimes it speaks in foreign language.


Have you ever hosted a party?

No-no-no! And the only 'parties' I've been to were Tupperware or Mary Kay or that sort.

If you were cryogenically frozen, when would you want to be awakened?

Sylkat

Dinnertime!

What is the best aspect of the support you may have received, if any, from a local autistic society?

I have never been to a local autistic society, though I would like to go to a meeting someday if I can find one.


And if I was frozen, I would like to wake up when people look like big eyed bugs and communicate by rubbing each other's antennae.

How much would it take for you to eat a bug?

I wouldn't eat a bug on purpose - not even locusts, as, even though they're Biblically kosher, they're still gross.



What is your quest on WP?

Someone to talk to. Same question.
