Autumn in Waterloo
Well, well... It is a long time that I abandoned Papier. But finally I am back again. Probably I will write more frequently cause I am setting up in a new place. So I am back again in Waterloo, this time in autumn and as an associate post doc in Perimeter Institute and department of physics and astronomy in University of Waterloo.
PI got an extension, Hawking centre, where my office is there...
PI is great as always, too many people to talk with them, blackboards and a nice environment to answer to questions of Quantum nature of Universe and all about Space and Time...
Hawking Centre of PI
Space Room for seminars
In the same that I moved to Waterloo, the Nobel prize festival goes on, the most exciting prize, this year is the one given to Saul Perlmutter, Adam Riess and Brian Schmidt for their tremendous work of the discovery of accelerating expansion of universe, through the luminosity distance of Supernova type I. Although many people argue that we really do not know what is the cause of accelerating universe, or even more if really universe is in this phase and probably it could be an artifact of structures in Universe. But I think they deserve it. They open a new era in Cosmology, challenging our views and remind us that we have a lot of work to do...
On the other side Nobel prize of Literature goes to Tomas Tranströmer, Sweden poet. In the moment that the academy announce the prize, I went through his biography and couple of poems and I like them much, probably soon I will write about him...
Enjoy the Poem below:
They switch off the light and its white shade
glimmers for a moment before dissolving
like a tablet in a glass of darkness. Then up.
The hotel walls rise into the black sky.
The movements of love have settled, and they sleep
but their most secret thoughts meet as when
two colours meet and flow into each other
on the wet paper of a schoolboy’s painting.
It is dark and silent. But the town has pulled closer
tonight. With quenched windows. The houses have approached.
They stand close up in a throng, waiting,
a crowd whose faces have no expressions.
Steve Jobs died, there is no argue that he is a great icon in our modern era... But the whole stories about him, the fans and the ones that think he was one of the persons in the camp of injustice in the world is interesting as well... We talked lately with friend about whole the story of modern world, technologies and our time hero...
maybe on this later as well...
Okay that's all for a new start...
