The Internet is a fascinating place to be sure, full of interesting people and places. Are you really from Slovakia? (I ask that because some people select far away places as their location just to have fun.) Anyway, I went and read-up a little on Slovakia. The CIA WORLD FACTBOOK says Slovakia is mostly a Christian country: "Religions: Roman Catholic 68.9%, Protestant 10.8%, Greek Catholic 4.1%, other or unspecified 3.2%, none 13% (2001 census)"
Are there a large number of Christian churches in Slovakia?
Have you ever visited the United States?

1over137, I just read some in a wiki article on Slovakia. Slovakia is a fascinating and charming country and its modernizing fast too, according to the article. "The Slovak economy is considered an advanced economy, with the country dubbed the "Tatra Tiger". Slovakia transformed from a centrally planned economy to a market-driven economy."1over137 wrote: I am indeed from Slovakia, the centre of Europe...
You said Redmond, and I became interested and went in search and discovered that Microsoft has a huge campus in Redmond, Washington. Some great pics of that campus here: http://www.microsoft.com/presspass/imag ... fault.mspxI was in Redmond with my fiance when he worked for Microsoft. We were there for 3 months and were making trips in weekends.

I'll just toddle off to where ever the Agnostics and Atheists hang out.
Very much cheers to one and all.
I had to look it up. Never heard of it before. But then again, I never took any classes in astro-biology. And, I've never taught physics. I've taught physical science, but not physics. This 1/137 is way over my head. Found an interesting explanation, though.

Yes, it is fine structure constant. Sorry, I thought you also taught Physics. It is fascinating field.ClassicalTeacher wrote:I had to look it up. Never heard of it before.

How interesting I spent a nice couple of hours reading up on that, thanks Hanna1over137 wrote:
