Asking questions. Six questions. What, where, how, why, when, where. Which one is weightier, what is important? Reflect on your questions.

It shows more than 80,000 populated places in blue and about 350,000 locations of IP addresses in red. White dots indicate places where many people live and many IP addresses are available.

Certain Cultures and Civilizations provided fertile ground for fostering what has become the modern scientific worldview The notion of an ordered universe, a cosmos, is a strong theme among the Greek natural philosophers and Greek culture, and formed the basis for many of our modern achievements in science and thought. The theme of order is carried even further into the realms of governance, politics, law and society, visibly embodied in the legal structures, roads, aqueducts, armies and culture of Imperial Rome. The cosmos is not only a philosophical concept, it is living reality. The Judeo-Christian worldview further bolsters this theme of order, by proposing that the origin and the active agent of this order is a Personal God, a divine being incarnated in Christ, who is simultaneously the author and the pattern ( firstborn of all creation ) of the cosmos. Furthermore, the Christ is God s personified Word.

Kekule s Dream Structure of the Benzene molecule In 1865 the German chemist Friedrich August Kekulé published a paper in French (for he was then teaching in Francophone Belgium) suggesting that the structure contained a six-membered ring of carbon atoms with alternating single and double bonds. The next year he published a much longer paper in German on the same subject.[5][6] Kekulé used evidence that had accumulated in the intervening years namely, that there always appeared to be only one isomer of any monoderivative of benzene, and that there always appeared to be exactly three isomers of every derivative to argue in support of his proposed structure. Kekulé's symmetrical ring could explain these curious facts, as well as benzene's 1:1 carbonhydrogen ratio. http://leegass.com/gallery/leessculptures/nature/kekules-dream/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/benzene

The equation is another way of saying that love can sometimes be complicated. It also implies that Love can be quantified. Love has symmetry. Love is not a Function, it is a Relation. Love is Real, it is not Imaginary. Love has an Absolute Value. I wish you were sine squared theta and I was cosine squared theta so together we could be one.
