No thrusters hum, no crew remains, Only the ghost of ancient lanes. A hollow shell in the velvet deep, Where silent, frozen memories sleep. Drifting past stars, so cold and far, A lonely, unanchored, wandering star.

Georges Lemaître was a Belgian priest and physicist who proposed the theory of the expansion of the universe. He is most famous for formulating the 'primeval atom' hypothesis, which laid the groundwork for what we now call the Big Bang theory. His work bridged the gap between theoretical mathematics and the observational evidence provided by Hubble's law.

A number is considered 'happy' if, when you replace it with the sum of the squares of its digits and repeat the process, you eventually reach the number 1. If the sequence enters an endless loop that never hits 1, the number is called 'unhappy.' It is a delightful way to see how simple arithmetic can create unexpected patterns of convergence and cycles.
