    why is it 22/6/02 in the uK and 6/22/02 in the USA?

    i'm not sure how it is across the pond, but in the states i assume it has to do with the way we give dates verbally. if i were to ask someone what the date is today, the response would be June 22nd, 2002, which corresponds with the numerical 6/22/02. .

    11 Greatest Unanswered Questions of Physics

    Chuck you should read Flatland by Edwin Abbott. i'm sure it was the inspiration for your teacher's demonstration as it was written in 1880. despite essentially being a math and philosophy book it is a very easy read and a very interesting look at the idea of higher dimensions. (also a satire...
