Join the roomEddington era un pueblo en Kent, sureste de Inglaterra, al sureste de Herne Bay, al oeste de Beltinge y al norte de Herne. Ahora es un suburbio de Herne Bay, en Greenhill and Eddington Ward, uno de los cinco distritos de Herne Bay. Su principal punto de referencia durante más de 100 años hasta 2010 fue Herne Bay Court, una antigua escuela que alguna vez poseyó uno de los talleres de ingeniería escolar más grandes y mejor equipados de Inglaterra; más tarde se convirtió en un centro de conferencias cristiano.

“Never mind what two tons refers to. What is it? How has it entered in so definite a way into our exprerience? Two tons is the reading of the pointer when the elephant was placed on a weighing machine. Let us pass on. … And so we see that the poetry fades out of the problem, and by the time the serious application of exact science begins we are left only with pointer readings.”
“Proof is the idol before whom the pure mathematician tortures himself.”
