Q&A

Question 1: If you died hundreds of years ago, how would you be able to talk to us?

Well you see, just before I died, I created a time crystal accidently. It would send me back, but only for a day.

Question 2: How were you inspired to persue in Astronomy?

I would like to that thank Hipparchus for his solar theory. He really inspired me.

Question 3: How did you even think of your model of the universe>

You know, I would just look at the sky, and imagine the stars and the planets revolving around earth.

Question 4: What do you like about your job?

I like that you never know what you will discover.

Question Of The Day

Now that I have answered some of your questions, I have a question for you

You and your friend are caught by the police. The police give you the option to confess or to deny. If both you and your friend confess, you will each get one year of prison. If one of you confesses and the other denies, the person who confessed will be left off the hook while the person who denied will get four years of prision. If both you and your friends confess, you will both get 2 years of prision. Should you confess of deny?

* Deny Confess
Deny 1,1 4,0
Confess 0,4 2,2

Thank you for your time.
