That question,"are there more grains of sand on earth or stars in the sky" was very clever because it relates to one of the quotes in your book, "some infinities are simply larger than other infinities"

Well...not really, because neither the number of stars nor the number of grains of sand is infinite...whereas your life is, wheter or not it is a "long" life. Or at least, that's John's point in the book. I don't know if it's true. Okay, actually I don't even know if the number of stars really isn't infinite...

+Tigermond1 The Law of Conservation of Matter states that there is a set and unchanging amount of matter/energy within our universe, so yes, the number of stars is finite.

First of all there aren't an infinite amount of grains of sand on earth. But second of all I agree, it was a good question. Not because it was hard to answer (the infinite will always be larger than the finite) but because it's hard to think about. Every time you walk on a beach (which in my case is rarely, I hate beaches) you are walking past numbers that are huge... but still infinitely smaller than the number of stars, the number of things so important you could spend an entire PhD studying and admiring them and still not know all there is to know. That's awesome, but also invalidating in a very nihilistic way.

Hey John, My name is Jose and I’m currently a senior at my high school. As prom approaches, I’ve done some thinking and finally decided to ask my friend. She is a really great person but most of all, she’s loves your books, with The Fault in Our Starts being one of her favorites. So to surprise her, I thought it would be a nice idea to have you make a quick video and ask her to prom for me. I understand you have a busy schedule with KZbin and other things, so I completely understand if you are unable to. Thank you for taking your time in reading this, Jose

But now that I have him my cats won't leave him alone and they even pushed his cage off the bedside table I had it on. Luckily he didn't get out but I still can't get them to leave him alone.

Dear John Green, Hi from a 14 year old fairly nerdy teenager, nerdfighter, and devoted reader!!! I'm in eighth grade. Before I ask my question… I'm not sure if this is fan mail, but I think you are a genius! Apart from being my favorite author, (along with F. Scott Fitzgerald, because the Great Gatsby was just awesome) your (and Hank's) ability to convey such a plethora of information on the vlogbrothers is spectacular! Thanks so much for explaining, one video at a time, the world, from North Korea's horrifying regime to the current conflict in Ukraine. You can explain something in 4 minutes better than my Social Studies teacher can in a semester! Maybe it's because that class is at 7:50 in the morning and my teacher only wears horrendous brown sweaters, or maybe it's because I'm busy listening to Simon and Garfunkel or Queen and illegally chewing gum. I'm sure you get this a lot, but I think that the Fault in Our Stars is one of the best books ever written for young adults. I love the fact that it portrays Hazel as not just a Cancer patient to feel bad for, but someone who can have her own adventures and loves, and be loved so beautifully by another human being. If you count the number of hours your readers cried at the end, you will realize that this is yet another symbol of your success! And that's because people only feel like their hearts are being ripped out at the end of a book when they are fully invested. I usually only cry when a fictional character dies, so I can't remember the last time I was as upset as when Augustus Waters died. Awesome name, by the way, but you are responsible for me being suspiciously introverted and sad the day after finishing the book, not to mention how depressed I was when you killed Alaska Young in a different awesome novel. Do you ever go visit schools? Because you should totally come to Glen Rock Middle School in Glen Rock, New Jersey. I think that you possess the gift to convey the entire range of human emotions, from rage to love to regret, with a pen and paper, and that is of enormous magnitude. So thank you for that! I am a huge fan, and I keep convincing my English teacher to play your crash course videos. Getting some kind of reply would make my day, but I promised myself I wouldn't get mad if you didn't respond. I love writing and I have been told that I am a vivacious reader, so my question to you is: What's your favorite book? I'm pretty sure you have a video talking about some great reads, but what is your favorite book of all time? yours truly, Nicole Rothstein P.S.: DFTBA

But a few weeks ago I impulse took out a few young adult books from the library and i FEEL LIKE MY BRAIN IS ON FIRE ALL THE TIME NOW. they were very good. very good. books are so exciting. I am having a lot of excitement about being excited about these books.

In fact, I love the book so much that I read my first copy so many times that the binding came undone and I had to get a new one. I just love Fitzgerald's writing so much, but to be honest your writing is right up there tied with him for how much I love it. I love all of your books, and I can't decide which I like better, Looking for Alaska, TFiOS, or Paper Towns. As a matter of fact, the three of them are right up there with Great Gatsby for me. Love you and your work, I wish you the best.

This is why I'm excited to progress in my theatrical career. It's what I want to do. I want to give people something to smile about, and even if they don't have a clue who I was, I gave them something to be happy about for a moment.

Given an infinite universe, there are infinite stars. But since there are a finite number of ways the universe can be arranged, there are multiple exact copies of everything (an infinite number of them in fact). And so if you define the object like the Earth based on finite characteristics, there are an infinite number of those Earths. And so the number of grains of sand on Earth is technically also infinite. It all comes down to if some infinities really are bigger than others.......

Putting aside the fact that spring break is in a week, I'm most excited about finding a major that suits my skills and will eventually lead me to work with people with autism who I have always found to give me a sense of peace, inspiration, and motivation.

The universe (not just the observable one) probably has infinite stars. Not sure if they are infinitely faulty though.

What am I excited about? Um... Er... My birthday, which is in a few months... But it's my 18th so I'm having a party! And I'll get to hang with an old friend whom I haven't seen in over 2 years! Also, TFiOS movie, new episodes of Doctor Who (coming out in August) and a couple other things...

I know that this is sort of random, but you wrote in "Will Grayson, Will Grayson," about Neutral Milk Hotel, who happen to be one of my favorite bands. I was wondering if you could talk about how you got into them, and your opinion on them. I recognize that this is completely arbitrary, I was just wondering.

I had an interview for an internship with an organization called Serve Seattle that connects you with non-profits in the area. Three days a week I will be interning with chemical dependency and substance abuse counseling centers, at risk youth homes, anti human trafficking organizations, and so many more! And I get to live in an amazing ginormous house with the other interns. It's a dream come true.
