When I was just a boy growing up in Brooklyn, my parents knew very little of science. But they gave me an invaluable gift: an open door to curiosity.
I remember walking into the public library on 86th Street, trembling slightly with a question that had consumed my mind. I asked the librarian for a book about stars. She smiled and handed me a thin volume filled with pictures of actors and actresses. I told her, politely, that this wasn’t what I meant.
She returned with the right book. I sat down, opened the pages, and read a phrase that took my breath away: Stars are suns, only very far away.

Spencer Pratt was comfortably in second place on election night in LA. Then they kept counting for days. Mail-in ballots keep rolling in and his lead keeps shrinking. Meanwhile countries like France, Germany and Japan count millions of votes and have results the same night. America somehow needs a week to count ballots in one city. At what point do we stop calling that a counting process and start calling it what it looks like.
