Re: pic: Atlas Supporting the Earth

Cool shot! Someone on my team got a similar picture today during our work session, and made a comment about shrugging just before the ball fell.

For a photo break, we went outside for a while. Cloudy and about 70 degrees here in St. Louis, with south winds at about 20 MPH. We found that our trackball can be shoved through a standard 3 ft. doorway when inflated to 128" circumference. However, when a gust of wind came along, it suddenly developed a lot of lift and one of our mentors had to yell for help to keep it from being ripped from his grasp.

Manipulating these gamepieces will be a challenge.

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
