    Because of science L!VE, I’m very interested in coherence. I think it is because the radio waves “push “ the molecules in the metal fillings together somehow to conduct electricity. I like Roger Billings because he is very good at explaining things in detail. I actually never heard that he was the inventor of the hydrogen car. Acellus is perfect for our household. It has set goals for achieving the daily requirements, and it has real teachers (such as Todd Edmond). Acellus has explained so well that I know a lot more about math, science, and language arts.

    I knew about Chernobyl, Ukraine so it’s not a new thing for me, but the details were interesting. When R-51 said “Better than the Big R,” it’s funny because it’s Dr. Billings who says it. The part on how L.E.Ds came about is very interesting, along with how it relates to Roger Billings. Next time could you please tell us how the dishwasher came about? Acellus is excellent for us.
