The funnies are in black and white.

The funnies are in black and white today so paraphrasing my brother Bobs calendaric skill conclude it is not Sunday. Well, they're all the same anyway.
I'm deep into the book extra dimensions. I've just finished the review of string theory. It still seems very intuitive. Things without dimension never made sense to me. What is that supposed to be? If it exists it has size albeit very, very tiny... it still had to have size. Strings immediately found a welcome home in my mind.
But to digress... surfing the net this morning I was presented with a site writing about savantism. The article was about the brain as a memory device. Many details we see every day are filtered out by our mind as useless. So we never 'notice' the very fine details, although they have entered our eyes. One of the conclusions in the article is that in some savants it's as if some of their filters had been disabled allowing all the details their eyes see to be entered in memory for later retrieval. The conclusions were drawn from those who were savants from birth as well as those who acquired their savantism following injuries to the head and brain. I found it to be very interesting.
Or not.
In a way we're all savants and still on this flight together.
