It’s time to explore key ideas and takeaways.
First up. 2 “tales” from history.
Our first story.
From History: 1848
Subject: Light Waves.
Looked at differently.
The Doppler effect was extended from sound to light when astronomers noticed that starlight shifts in frequency, revealing stellar motion through subtle changes in color.

Now for our second story.
From History: 5 Jul 1687
Subject: Motion Finds Its Mathematics.
- Infinitesimal Math.
To clarify.
Before calculus, physics was intuition and geometry. After calculus, it became a science of precision. Differentiation and integration turned the blur of continuous change into something measurable—paving the way for mechanics, electromagnetism, relativity, and every equation that followed.

Next up. Two “quotes.”
Tidbit number three, the first of two quotes.
Subject: We Are Stardust.
- Carl Sagan.
- circa 1980.
Cosmology < Science
So, to put it simply.
Carl Sagan reminds us that we are intimately connected to the universe. The particles that form our bodies are borrowed from a cosmic pool of just 17 particles and four forces. Even more humbling, the molecules within us were forged in the hearts of stars, linking us directly to the vast cosmos that surrounds us.

Tidbit number four, another quote.
Subject: Worldviews.
- Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr..
- 1858.
Animal brains learn by impressions. You are born into a family, into a culture at a particular time. Your spacetime literally forges who you start out as.
To be clear.
Oliver Wendell Holmes Sr. reminded us that we are not forged in a vacuum. We are born into a family with a family view, and into a society with a societal view. Long before we can choose our own beliefs, we inherit them. Our traditions, our education, and our early experiences shape how the world first makes sense to us. In this very real way, we are products of our upbringing.

Finally, 4 frequently asked “questions.”
Now it is time for tidbit number five. The first of four questions.
Subject: False Equivalence.
- We did and are!.
- Arguing from ignorance is a fallacy. Leave it to the experts!.
Humans have evolved in the last 50,000 years, just not into a new “species.”
What matters here is this.
Arguing without evidence against the experts is the arguing from ignorance fallacy. In this case, we see evolution today. Human races are the early stages; when races mix, they stay the same race. When races become sub-species, they become a new species when they can no longer interbreed.
That Science FAQ,
was first published on TST 1 year ago.
Tidbit FAQ number six.
Subject: Terryology.
- Is basic math just wrong?.
- NOPE. Missed the mark!.
Exploring Howard’s mathematical flaws.
The central point is this.
Terrence Howard asserts that zero does not exist and that 1×1=1. Both are incorrect and his idea is not math, science, nor good philosophy. He relies on fame and errors in critical thinking to confuse people. Zero represents the absence of something and multiplication is factoring, not addition. He has fundamentally misunderstood the nature of reality.
