Quote: "Which is why it is all the more remarkable to reflect that until 1978 
no one had ever noticed that Pluto has  a moon." 

Comment: I kind of herd about Pluto not being a planet some odd years ago. I never really thought about it. Its cool the technology we have and how its evolving. We are going to be finding new things as the years progress. Its also mind blowing to me that we know almost everything going on in space and haven't actually been there.     

Question:  What planet is Pluto a moon to? I may have missed it in the reading.

QCCQ

Quote: In fact you need to gather everything there is- and squeeze it into a spot so infinitesimally compact that it has no dimensions at all. I chose this quote because the discussion we had in class about dimensions. It was a quite infatuating topic I would like to learn more about.

Comment: Some times I find myself thinking What is space and if I traveled off of earth where would I be going. There is nothing there or doesn't it ever stop.It is mind blowing to me to think where this all came from the big bang? or something more.

Comment:Going back to my first comment of space and how it will never run out. Its almost the same with earth. I can keep walking and walking and never fall off the edge of the earth. My name Morgan means the edge of the sea and it makes me think about there actually being an edge of the world where you could jump off like a waterfall.

Question:Why would books caution us not to describe the big bang theory as an explosion?
