‘Faith Story’ or ‘Avraham Counts The Stars’

During the day Avraham my forefather was asked to count (or tell the story) of the stars which show at night.

I am the inventor of new technology that extended the use of telescopes to group viewing at the same time for study, lecture or other educational or visitor purposes. This has been installed at Kitt’s Peak in New Hampshire.

I also came up with a companion program explaining astronomy from the Jewish Bible and antiquity for marketing purposes at Kitt’s and to be taught at UNH and elsewhere.

Sand is the most plenteous material of the earth’s crust. And it has definite characterisitics.

Avraham my forefather was told his seed would be as the sand of the earth.

Suanpan

In Accounting, Astronomy, Building Materials, China, Computing, Dean Levinson, Divrei Torah, Economics, Electronic Banking, Finance, International Development, Invention, Materials Science, Optics on September 4, 2012 at 9:42 am

Suanpan is the name for the original Chinese abacus, the term still in use. Translated as ‘counting tray’ the term literally once meant ‘sand tray’ referring to the sand that was placed in it where numerical characters were drawn.

Upon hearing the history and origin of the abacus I dubbed suanpan as ‘The Sandbox’ at the age of six. I was introduced to the abacus at age two or so. And from child’s play have changed the world. 

This is the true story of the transformation of modern computing. accounting, finance, economics, sand and silicon related materials, devices and products, ‘sandbox’ social theorization and more. All progressing (and continuing) from my earliest explorations and invention.
