Cosmic Curiosities

“I was star-struck at age nine. Having been born in the Bronx, I thought I knew how many stars there were in the night sky, about a dozen. Then you go into the dome of the planetarium and then thousands of stars come out. I just thought it was a hoax.”
 ~ Neil de Grasse Tyson, American Astronomer

The Role of Oral Tradition

Oral tradition is important in all societies, despite the reliance of some cultures on written records and accounts. These traditions account for the ways things are and often the way they should be, and assist people in educating the young and teaching important lessons about the past and about life. Because many oral traditions are highly structured and are told faithfully without alteration, they can be as reliable as other non-oral ways of recording and passing on experiences.
