Swiss cheese development

Google, Inc.Image via Wikipedia

I was going to post about my boy who told me he'd figured out how to crack light speed; the same boy who asked me how to spell "club." That's my boy. Cracking theoretical physics and failing first grade spelling.

In a flurry of information-seeking after Diver was diagnosed, I remember reading that kids with Asperger's were characterized as having "Swiss cheese" development, full of holes. It's certainly true of Diver, who illuminated his light speed theory with a detailed explanation in which the only word I understood was "velocity". The same boy, searching for a particular Google earth image, today asked, "How do you spell 'Google'?"

Go figure. The spelling I'll let go. The light speed theory I'll transcribe, in case it advances theoretical physics.
