The article says Zack was 16 in 2008 and is 19 in 2013. Has Zack been impressing the importance of scientific literacy by promoting it from a relativistic spaceship? Or should he also start promoting numeracy to journalists?
- jtheory 14y agoPresumably someone asked him "when did this all start?", and he said "when I was, I think, 16? -- Louisiana passed this act and I...", and he didn't stop to calculate it carefully. And it looked about right, and if he was off by one it's completely irrelevant, so quite rightly no one put any thought into making absolutely sure that the numbers were exactly right.
