RE: T.P. Singh, Special Relativity for the School Going Child, physics/0411219

"You know what, I think I am going to be a scientist when I grow up. What about you?"

Dear Professor Singh,

Please see my efforts to explain Einstein's GR to my 11-old daughter,

I wonder if you and/or your colleagues can help. I will keep your feedback strictly private.

P.S. I will be happy if you could explain to me (i) the CMB temperature anisotropy that forbids a cold dark matter density contrast of about 10^-3 on the last scattering surface (Ruia Lectures, 19 November 2004), and (ii) the cosmic equator,
