Folks have mentioned an interest in questions and conversations that make them think. So I've decided to offer more of those. I'm starting with this list.

5. When did you last sing to yourself? To someone else?

It's been a few days since I was singing.  I usually do it alone because most other people dislike the voice I'm wearing.  I think my partner and I were singing something together earlier this month, though.

For some reason people are shocked that the ground is moving.   To me it is obvious that if you remove and/or insert large quantities of material from a layered system, those layers are going to move around.  This should also be obvious to anyone who has ever played Jenga.

Here's a dwarf star with a bunch of wet, Earthlike planets around it.  People are, of course, curious about possible life.  To make things simple: if it's warmish and wet, there's probably life.  Don't hold your breath for anything more exciting than algae, but with several planets in a system, at least we're rolling extra dice.
