1st Event:
I've been an avid reader of xkcd.com for a good few years now, and eagerly await the next installment - as well as the new 'What If?' section.
Comic #1153 made reference to Zeno's Paradoxes. Something I hadn't heard of, and if I'm honest the Wikipedia entry wasn't as clear as the XKCD reference. Perhaps that could be the next section of the comic: Making Wikipedia easier to understand.
2nd Event:
I've been reading a book called Red Mars, it's longer than I thought and at times I lose interest but I'm perservering and I'm glad I am.
Last night, I was reading before bed and I'm up to the section where the Space Elevator is almost complete when up pops a reference to Zeno's Paradoxes.
So, having never heard of Zeno or his paradoxes before I am introduced to them through 2 unrelated sources within the space of a week.
Coincidence?
