Even with a week left in the month, the month of September this year has been a
"record-" year for the group in the sense that there are now, today, more posts
in one month (three weeks!) than at any other full-monthly span in this Group's
12-year history.
Just noting this, as so

Right, William, I'd talk about hundreds of millions, or billions of years,

Or, about the decades since Woodstock.

Merle,
Please, please, *don't*, don't ever, say that things are "so zen", or "Zen"; it
just has no referent. There's nothing there. Anyone hearing that will suspect
you of never having practiced. Stop now and be forever safe.
Only non-practitioners use such un-informed lingo. True! I say t

It's not a British Billion yet, still a few orders of magnitude to go. Not sure
why I switched the 3 to a 4. Perils of the continuous advance of knowledge
after one leaves school.

I took maths in England, hence my post.
I also talk about "Zed-Eff" set theory, and "zed this and that" complex
analysis.
There is an interesting tho bleak sci-fi series that speculates about what
the universe might look like in a trillion (a million million, or a British
Billion) years (extrapol
Chris:
You are correct. I have heard (but have never verified it) that the
British don't say billions but instead might say thousand million. That's
what I meant to say.

Happy birthday Merle.
My inital college degrees are Geology and Geophysics. In geology we speak of
hundreds of millions of years, just as Joe might speak in terms of billions or
million millions of years and even those chunks of time are but an instant in
eternity. Life on earth began 600 m

I'm not sure if you're responding to Bill or Bill! I have not watched any of
the film so have not judged it.
Bill seems to have watched at least some of it and it made him uncomfortable.
