You are probably thinking so what, no real big difference there, but in a science primarily governed mathematical equations and the laws of physics and [...]

Even after listening to it said multiple times I still can’t, but then again my language skills (especially for those based on Viking speak) have never been one of my strong points. If you want to learn, you can follow along as the Good Morning American Crew listens and admits their inability to get it. [...]
