It seems that if you have two stars of equal brightness, the star that is furthest away in space (even hundreds of light years further) will yet appear brighter than the one that is closer to earth.
Go figure.
As always, I look for a moral to the story.
It seems, at least according to science, that a tree falling in the forest with no one there to hear, will in fact make a sound. This is somehow scientifically demonstrable. I have always believed the opposite (and still do).
I remember one time when my son's psychiatrist was testing him on his responses to familiar proverbs, I myself offered the 'wrong answer' to one scenario. For the rest of the interview, the guy devoted his attention to me. Later on he prescribed pills for my son that had some small chance of paralyzing his throat and causing death. These he prescribed as if it were a perfectly reasonable thing to do.
If it don't kill ya, it'll cure ya. But of course it wouldn't have.
These pills are no longer prescribed in psychiatry. Nor anywhere else.
