Two plus two equals four...unless it doesn’t. Every young student learns the rules… as taught them. Higher education muddles it all…with complex theorems.

This one reminds me of history. I liked it a first, when there were only good guys and bad guys. Then, it got to complex, and I turned to...math! It does seem like everything gets complicated and unknowable.

I always loved mathematics (and physics) and found them fascinating. Onward and upward... :)

' Two plus two equals four...unless it doesn’t. ' Giggling, because this is soooo true. Math has changed completely ! Crazy, indeed. Just love this image, Linda. It goes perfectly with your words. Thanks for the smile this evening. :) Hugs, Brandy
