To the common man, “simple” means he doesn't have to think about it! Children are gullible and can be told almost anything as they are virtual slates empty of knowledge; thus they regard anything they can learn (without giving it the first thought) to be “simple”. Thinking is something people avoid like the plague.

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

We have been online since May 2000, and aim to be the best place to find and share science-related content of all kinds.

Share the love!
