Actually that's not exactly accurate. (and we all know Evan was being silly, don't we?) Dichotomy is splitting a whole into parts, but the parts are different one from the other...similar in a way that ties them together, but separated by a difference. Removing one coin and leaving 2 here and 2 there wouldn't be a dichotomy because the two parts left are identical--not different. . Dinner is the whole. Dinner is meat and potatoes. Meat is one thing, potatoes another. Together they form one thing, but they are separate.........and can stand on their own. That's language.....not physics, not biology.......just language. I don't know diddley about physics......... Peggy ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kenneth & Marie Cunningham" <cunninghamarie@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> > Rocket science. The theory of hole numbers.
