We will discuss basic properties of normal numbers for the Cantor series expansions and a recent result of D. Airey and B. Mance. Using ideas introduced in this paper, it may be possible to show that information about algebraic varieties is encoded in the structure of sets of normal numbers. We will outline this idea and the barriers one may encounter in finishing it.
