QQC #2

Q: How do animals communicate numbers?

Q: "But if you have no word for 15, and no method of counting, how can you ever achieve a fair compensation?"

C: I had never really thought about the fact that numbers had to have started at some point and that they were not just magically there from the very beginning of humans so this article was interesting for me to read because it made me think about what numbers truly are and where they came from.

Sports QQC

Q: How can I apply this inspiration that I have gained to everything that I do?

Q: "Michael Jackson wasn't a natural either. He was the hardest-working athlete, perhaps in the history of sport."

C: This article can easily be applied to the mindset and sets of skills that we should be applying in Math Class.

This article really made me think just like the last article made me think.This article made me think about just what our role as humans is in comparison to the unniverse and how miniscule and unimportant we truely are. This statement became evidently clear especially after I read the quote, Space, "you see, it
is just enormous-just enormous. Let's imagine, for purposes of edification
and entertaimnent, that we are about to go on a journey by rocketship. We
won't go terribly far-just to the edge of our own solar system-but we
need to get a fix on how big a place space is and what a small part of it
we occupy." This put it into perspective for me just how large space is and how much we dont know about it which is scary and exciting at the same time. We have so much to discover.

What stood out to me the most in the reading was not a statement or fact made but more so rather a quote made up of more questions which I myself have even wondered about at times. "Now the question that has occurred to all of us at some point is:what would happen of if you traveled out to the edge of the universe and, as it were, put your head through the curtains? Where would your head be if it were no longer in the universe? What would you find beyond?" After reading this quote, it caused me to resume my thoughts and curiosities about the topic. I in fact will never forget the time in eighth grade when my teacher stated a very good point that up until that time I had never considered yet very well could be true. He said, "We have no idea what lays beyond our realm of travel... we very well could be a pimple on the end of a giants nose!", So ever since then I have always partially wondered in the back of my mind, are we a part of something greater such as an appendage on the end of a giants nose? Unfortunately I don't think we will ever be able to know.
