Train riders hear the warning from the incessant badgering of conductors and pre-recorded loops, reminding them to, “Mind the Gap!” There’s an entire culture based on people who have a natural, (unnatural?), Letterman-esque gap in the middle of their upper teeth. There’s the ‘gap year’ which has become an almost…

There’s a point in time, I guess, where history becomes educated conjecture rather than chronicled reportage. But, even far past that demarcation, the reliability of studied archaeological and anthropological artifacts is deemed to be scholarly, accepted gospel. Advances in carbon dating and the visual forensics of enhanced photogrammetry have allowed…
