“The backwards-moving electron when viewed with time moving forwards appears the same as an ordinary electron, except that it is attracted to normal electrons - we say it has a positive charge. For this reason it's called a positron.

This phenomena is general. Every particle in Nature has an amplitude to move backwards in time, and therefore has an anti-particle.”

(Richard Feynman, 1985)

Donated to Rawson Saunders School for Dyslexia fund raiser in honor of my wife.

Statement:

At first.......I imagined how difficult it might be if I was so impaired that I couldn't even write out a simple urgent plea for survival... that my struggle to communicate was so difficult that left behind the higher functioning, impatient world around me.

In honor of Rawson Saunders School, who offers a way to overcome reading and writing impairments, I studied a dysgraphic's hand writing and then slowly bent hot glass tubing in that shape to form two very hopeful words, "Help Me".
