Science Center Has Fact Wrong
* Re “Science Center’s Cube Aims to Make a Point” Sept. 28:
I was appalled to read that the Discovery Science Center in Santa Ana is calling their new building a cube.
An object that is 64 by 64 by 108 feet is not a cube because a cube has equal edges.
As the museum begins to excite children about math and science, I hope they will use more accurate terminology.
