If you hit a mountain that you cannot climb or tunnel through, you simply go around it - you don't try to move it or worse start a movement to move it. It is not about surrendering or giving up. There is difference between when you hav

Also what I liked about the series is the multiple logical explanation of things which seem equally convincing but ultimately wrong. e.g the location of the second foundation and later of earth. In this logical recursion you have to keep tr
