We are to Oxford to see Nita and Alain and the three Zs , pictured, in front of their new house which they are making over. I catch up with
Zebulan , who "in to " maths which is not surprising since Nita a math PhD and professor while Alain is a Professor of Mathematical Modelling and Director of the Oxford Centre for Collaborative Applied Mathematics.
Zeb is crunching calculus in the 8th grade. I wish he was my Analyst when
I was an Analyst. He would have been better at it. We talk about unusual planetary shapes since he reads Sci Fi: if earth were a giant donut, he contemplates aloud, we could see China. Unusual thought and I go with it : could life exist on in our galaxy? Maybe. Universe? Most definitely. Zeb adds helpfully that life might be in our solar system now but we do not, you know, have the sensors to detect it.
