Dear Rev’d Prof. Dr. Holder:

Not only was it a thrill to discover your book; it inspired me to write a note to Keith Ward based on your comments about his work on page 129.

You have been a true intellect. Given your proximity to Hawking, your Big Bang Big God, is particularly poignant. Yet, given big bang cosmology’s many peculiarities, shouldn’t we still be asking, “Is there a better theory?”

Such a possibility would seem quite unlikely to come out of a high school geometry class, but not impossible (perhaps best stated, “with God’s grace“). How about applying base-2 to the Planck Length and then go to the Observable Universe? In 2011 we did just that and found only 202 doublings! Not understanding the deep nature of continuity and symmetry and the role of mathematics, we have been looking for a scholar bold enough to say, “You’ve got something there” or “That’s a dead end.”

Might you take a look and comment? Thank you.
