Counting To Ten | American in Spain
We have been making slow, but steady, progress on Nora’s counting abilities. She can more or less get up to about fifteen in both languages, and she’s begun to make statements like “There are three cookies on the table” as well. The other day I thought I’d record a video of her counting to mark her progress, and she did very well, despite manifesting her most common errors. The video is below, but first a joke, best told in skit form, courtesy of my butcher, Bruno.

None of the Science so far in Cosmos has been new to me, but I am immensely enjoying the history and storytelling aspects. So far it remains true that “my favorite episode = the last episode I’ve seen”. The latest reminds me of the very specific moment* in which I understood spectral lines and how they, amazingly, pantoscopic tilt allow us to understand the stars from such a distant vantage point. It really is the holy grail of cosmology. Their importance can really not be understated pantoscopic tilt in explaining how we know, say, via red-shifting, that the universe is expanding.
