Thank you for offering, but Jim just beat you to the punch on that one. Chapter 6 is still available if you want it.

Lynne, I am not sure that I can do proper justice to Halley's Essay but in the interest of hitting our 10,000 target, I will give it my best shot. Sign me up!

I'm apparently not the sharpest tool in the shed today! I failed to notice that these 3 don't match up with their section number (like the ones I listened to earlier today did). They are PL OK!MrsHand wrote: PL Notes:

Hi,
Well, for better or worse here is Section 6 - Length = 32:06
https://librivox.org/uploads/aradlaw/misccuriosa_v1_06_halley_128kb.mp3
I did not understand half of what I was reading as my background is in the Biological sciences not those Physical ones so I hope what I read makes sense.
There were also some abbreviations near the beginning that I could not for the life of me figure out so if you wish them to be read in full, please translate for me

Thank you. I wouldn't know if it makes sense or not... I am definitely not of a scientific "bent" so a huge thank you.NoelBadrian wrote:Hi,

I noticed several instances where it appears the word "saliva" was copied and pasted into the latter half of the reading (maybe a change in a prior pronunciation?), but the editing makes it sound like there's a slight stutter..."s-saliva."
It was only really noticeable in the latter half of the reading, happening about once a minute starting at the 25 minute mark and going to the end. I'm not sure it needs to be re-done, but I'd like to defer to Lynette on what she thinks about it. I'm going to mark it "See PL Notes" and we'll go from there!

The general rule is that PL notes are suggestions and its up to the reader whether to correct them (unless there's a whole chunk missing!). In this instance, it doesn't seem too big a deal, so I wouldn't bother (unless it comes out as more like "sal...saliva").MrsHand wrote:Well done Jim!neecheelok70 wrote:https://librivox.org/uploads/aradlaw/misccuriosa_v1_11_halley_128kb.mp3

Kristen, you were right to point it out, but it's an optional edit.
29:01. Sorry it took a while!
