      We are not all born equal unfortunately. I think the quote is really saying that your only limitations are the inhibitions in your mind. The world may have changed yes, but you still have free will and the choice to be happy

      Waves move in a direction. Our ears can pick up on that. Sound coming from the left will be slightly louder in your left ear

      The answer to my query is, while each of two different systems of waves simultaneously attempts to impress its own shape upon it, we are able to suppose in the above sense that the two systems coexist and are superimposed, by considering the actual elevations and depressions of the surface to be suitably separated into two parts, each of which belongs to one of the systems alone. It is true that two different degrees of density, produced by two different systems of waves cannot coexist in the...
