What is a "double fact"?
For that matter, what is a "single fact"? On the Fifth grader show yesterday, there was a question about a "double fact".
I was a math major (more than 5 years ago!), but I have never heard of a "fact". I couldn't find a definition of "fact" anywhere on-line.
Can somebody give me a reasonably good definition? Thanks.

In names like Aeschylus, or words like praetorium?
Words & Wordplay1 decade agoDoes anyone know a poem that has to do with sailing through a portal and discovering knowledge?
In the poem, the author says that once he sails through the portal, he will acquire all the knowledge he needs. But, after sailing through the portal, all he sees are more portals. And in fact, he has to choose a specific portal, so he ends up realizing that he will never know everything.
I thought it was Tennyson, but I can't find anything like that. I'm pretty sure the poet was British, though.
