I am a retired maintenance mechanic/supervisor. In 1956 I was a 6th grader and harbored a beginning question as to where am I? I was aware of Earth as home and the rest of our solar group moving about our sun. At this time in my life Neil Bohr’s electrons as points were prevalent in icon symbolism such as the United States ATOMIC ENERGY COMMISION. Electrons as points also happened to be used by Sears & Roebuck, where my father worked as a symbol of modernity where the company played with the initial S & R flourishing beginning script to look like electrons with motion trails zipping about a center. So this outside influence of my sensory perception of space led me to wonder if perhaps the planets of the solar system also held orbit around the sun in such random fashion. I was too young to form the question to my wonderful 6th grade teacher, a Mrs. Spellman, but found the answer looking up solar system in the community library encyclopedia “World Book”. A long intro but validates my claim to a lifetime of curiosity about Space-Time, and geometry of g-field motion especially growing up in NJ where Professor Einstein and ‘curved space’ happened to be just down the road in Princeton. No needs to go to later 1960’s and explain the influence of newly discovered Radio Astronomy, which would do so much in bringing to the public eye Big-Bang, Quasars, Pulsars, along with space age rocketry. Today, I change the price structure of my papers. Most of what is in Lexington ($10) can be found for free in my blog site SBG.info, though more informative using Mathematica .nb code to write out the lecture. However San Diego ($15) is groundbreaking in separating and explaining linearity of curved space vectors and unit circle ability to accommodate physical properties such as g-field potential. Hartford ($25) brings inverse square law to plane geometry and Baltimore ($25) brings Motive Curves of Galileo, a far more analytic description, using plane and analytic geometry a CSDA has to offer of planetary motion of our group about our sun then the 400 year old Keplerian perception. It is truly a return to the philosophical inquiry of the beginning pursuits of the likes of Newton, Galileo, and Kepler. It is also for the world populace, the average personal curiosity about where we are. Alexander
