I think it is *so* cool when famous people answer email of their fans. First Bear, now Fred.

Fred Alan Wolf, for those of you googling is the Einstein haired guy in the movie “What the Bleep Do We Know?!”

I asked him, after reading the new National Geographic article “The God Particle” why the CERN laboratory that is made for searching for tiny little things like…particles needed to be 17 miles in diameter.

His reply:

Detection of matter depends on the scale one uses. To detect an
object with a mass of one kilogram on the scale of centimeters is not hard
but to detect the Higgs Boson on a scale inside the nucleus is another thing
entirely. You need to hurl particles together with great velocity in order
to get them to penetrate down to that desired distance and for that you need
a lot of acceleration such as the circular LHC track at CERN.

Best Wishes,

I love the *Have Brains/ Will Travel* part.

That’s right, little Nathan, son on Marcela for whom so many people have prayed and donated money.

Marcela and her husband Owen are thinking of buying a house in Texas to escape the high prices of California, and they dropped by when they were traveling through Dallas.

Let me tell you, this child exudes joy. He is the most happy child I’ve ever met, and he didn’t seem to mind when I fumbled to try to hold him for this picture. And this was after Marcela and Owen told me they purposely kept him awake so he could meet me!

I’ve never said this about a child before, but he feels like a wise old soul. I felt like I could learn from him if I just spent enough time with him. He is so entertaining, and honestly, it is an honor to be in his presence.

Marcela and chatted for about an hour, and I saw that she and Owen are incredibly happy. We spoke of old times, and shared news. Honestly, it was a wonderful visit, and I hope they move a little closer so I can see them more often.

Thank you Marcela, Nathan and Owen.

When you are told by your boss that he reads your blog…

I’m not sure what I think about that.
