I always want to find the edge ... the end of what is known.

That's cool, Kees (love challenging questions) - I guess that reveals the precision of the maths teacher...totally off the topic (sorry), but growing up at the Dutch border, I had a Dutch physics and maths teacher, and I'll never forget how he worded the theory of relativity: if you go somewhere faster than the light you arrive before you left...

BTW, it really makes me feel good to experience not being the only one on this side of the ocean who is interested in and gives so much (freetime) for all these topics. It makes no sense to try to share or even explain anyone in my environment why one is interested in all this. The pitiful question that usually comes is: "Do you HAVE to do that for your JOB?"

Thanks Eva, but like Einstein I use to say: “I have no special talent. I am only passionately curious.”

I know what you mean, I’ve a lot of people who don’t understand my passion for Lincoln and American history. But this is food for my brain and I understand that not everyone shares my tastes in food. So I can easily live with it.

I agree 100% on the "food for my brain" - love the comparison! And curiousity is I believe what makes us move the most!
