There is a public service announcement that gets played on Air America Radio quite frequently. The premise is basically something like this:
- A girl asks her father why the sky is blue.
- THe father answers it's to mach the daughters blue eyes
- THe girl says no, it's because...and she goes on to give a long detailed scientific explanation which I don't know because I'm a political science person, not a physical science person.
- THe father asks her where she heard it, the girl says her mother.
- THe announcer tells about the importance of instilling science and math education in gurls because they are underrepresented in that field.
- THe girl then asks her father if he knows why the concepts of odd and even are a philosophical illusion.
And that's where the commercial ends. I guess it's not important that I know the answer, I'm just curious to hear it. I think I can kind of figure it out on my own, being that I know a little more about philosophy than science, but I still want to knoe..lol.
:crazy:
