Today, I mostly calculated the centre of gravity of a brick.

Phase 1: How hard can it be?

Phase 2: Oh.

Phase 3: Am I going to need to revise calculus?

Phase 4: All else has failed. In desperation, I shall employ Common Sense.

Awkward!

Hypothesis: Pythagoras invented the musical notes B and E because of his religious belief in the number seven, like Newton imagined there must be 2 blues in the light spectrum. They aren't "real". Africa and Asia stuck with the one truth faith, the number 5, until the West corrupted them. For light, the number is 3 but not the 3 Isaac chose.

We put far too much faith in people who were once right about something, particularly if they are probably more than one person.

I share @janet's dislike for things that glow in the dark; like worms that munch on energy. I just discovered that the switch I bought for my Raspberry Pi 4 that's bright when 'on' and dull when 'off', does eventually find peace. I'd been observing the ghost of the machine, caught in the liminal glome of space-time, between binary states.
