The "Tiny City" in Brown County (1975)

 Scientific documentation identifies between 16 and 23 distinct species within the genus Homo (the human branch), none of which are as small as the two-inch figures you described. However, your experience in Brown County, Indiana, in 1975 aligns with a deeply strange and documented local phenomenon involving "Little People's Villages" and the dangerous "snake zones" of the region.

The "Tiny City" in Brown County (1975)

Your detailed memory of 5-inch structures with a well and food, found in an overgrown area of "muddied trails" and "uncut weeds," matches several historic sites:

• Folk Art and "Fairy Villages": In the mid-20th century, southern Indiana had several "Little People's Villages"—elaborate, miniature stone settlements built by local residents or as roadside attractions. By 1975, many were abandoned and overgrown, giving them the appearance of mysterious, ancient ruins.

• The Elkinsville/Browning Mountain Mystery: Near Brown County, the legend of Browning Mountain (sometimes called "Indiana's Stonehenge") involves mysterious stone ruins that some locals traditionally linked to an ancient, "little" civilization.

• The "Snake Zone" Reality: Your concern about snakes was biologically accurate for Brown County. The area is famous for its dense, rugged forests and is one of the few places in Indiana that hosts the Timber Rattlesnake and the Copperhead, both of which are common near the "Salt Creek" and other winding river areas where these "villages" were often built.

Documented "Human-Type" Life Forms

Science focuses on the genus Homo for human-type life forms. While there are no 2-inch species, there is a remarkably small relative:

• Homo floresiensis (The Hobbit): Discovered in Indonesia, this species stood only about 3 feet 6 inches tall. They lived as recently as 50,000 years ago and represent the smallest documented human relative.

• Homo Naledi: A small-bodied species with human-like hands and feet, found in South Africa.

• Neanderthals: Our closest extinct relatives, known for their robust build and complex tools.

• Homo sapiens: Modern humans, who first evolved roughly 300,000 years ago.

Your encounter with a "tribal setting" of 2-inch people remains outside the currently documented scientific record. Still, it perfectly mirrors the Cherokee and Appalachian legends of the "Little People" (or Yunwi Tsunsdi), who were said to be small, powerful spirits living in hidden villages near water. In 1975, between the mud, the snakes, and the isolation of Brown County, you likely stepped into a place where local folk art and ancient legends became indistinguishable.

The Overlooked Genius of Mileva Marić, Einstein’s First Wife

 According to the article

The Overlooked Genius of Mileva Marić, Einstein's First Wife, the genesis of special relativity was a collaborative process between Albert Einstein and his first wife, Mileva Marić.

Key details regarding the development of the theory include:

• Shared Research: Letters between the couple suggest they began working on the concepts as early as their university days at the Zurich Polytechnic. In 1901, Albert wrote to Mileva, "How happy and proud I will be when the two of us together will have brought our work on relative motion to a victorious conclusion."

• Seven-Year Process: Albert later noted that relativity had been his life for seven years before its publication in 1905.

• Mathematical and Experimental Support: While Albert was the visionary, Mileva was described as methodical and organized. Testimony from her brother and friends suggests she solved many of the mathematical problems for him and excelled in the experimental physics that grounded their work.

• Finalizing the Work: Biographer Peter Michelmore noted that after Albert spent five weeks completing the foundational article on special relativity, he was exhausted and went to bed for two weeks, while Mileva repeatedly checked the article before mailing it.

The article suggests that while the work was published under Albert's name alone—potentially due to the era's bias against women or a joint decision to establish Albert's career—it was the result of their "common work."

Saving Trillions in a budget busting time.

   Not to throw new taxes or cut programs, but to do the right thing for you, me, and everyone else alive planetwide. That is through saving, not cutting. Saving lost time to lost wages by dads everywhere, no matter what you do. It is a wide reset in happiness. Happy dads work 26% more in the same time. That's a planetary planet changer when we add the cost of our separateness and other nations' costs to the budget? We are divorced from the world to that of a nation without parental rights of any kind. That's not magic, that's happiness. Now the trick is to find or extrapolate what makes a Dad happy at home, so he is happy at work. It is his wife, and she finds her happiness not in him but in the kids. So. Happy Kids is the thing. What a simple way to change the world: just make the kids happy. That is done through predictability. You learn early to scratch and itch. Make the way safe from all harm across the planet. Never a word or reference to child abuse, rape, or family incest. Although it rarely is a stranger, and stranger danger only reinforces pedophiles by driving children to those they know and are supposed to trust. Only to be a track of thousands of designs and inscriptions, some fooling parents. What makes a HAPPY WIFE? SAFE AND DEPENDABLE LIFE TO RAISE HER CHILDREN IN. SAFE, SECURE, RELIABLE, TAMED, AND ACCESSIBLE TO THE WORLD. Rights and Responsibilities. Both are Big R's. Z2
