The World as Big Frank Understands it

Big Frank is thinking about a worthy book that could be written. It would be entitled, "The World As I Understand It". This would be written without any reference material whatsoever. The book would be a record of how Big Frank understands the world. Theoretically this would mean that everything that he knows about the world would have to be in this book. It would include his own personal history, what he knows about the people that he knows, what their interactions are with Big Frank (and with others - that which Big Frank knows about), the entire history of the world (again, as he understands it), a summary of all the sciences, art (literature, painting, sculplture, theater, and music), the applied arts, media (television, radio, the internet, etc.), and on and on. Now Big Frank will be the first to admit that he really has some very large gaps in his knowledge. For example the chapter on electricity would be very short and wouldn't really go much beyond an elementary description of the atom and (as Big Frank thinks) something about electrons and how they bump into each other in a kind of stream, and then a very large leap into how that someone can be used to power things. This very cursory coverage would permeate a lot of things. Other areas would be have better coverage: Big Frank's life, his feelings about different things (nothing here beyond introspection), and some areas that he has a little more expertice in than others (how to cut in a window, how describe the articulatory mechanism of speech, how to teach someone how to read, some novels and poems (how to write a poem), how to juggle, a few languages, how to play the clarinet, and a few others. The payoff would be when it was finished there would be a record that would read more along the lines of what one man did not know than what he did.
