Timelines

So an interesting thought is that there are an infinite amount of universes. All nearly identical, except that in each one there is a single difference from another. Basically every time someone makes a choice, soda or juice, a new universe comes to existence. One where you had soda, the other where you had juice. So ideally if I could find the universe where I made all the perfect decisions. Then I simply swap places and live in an awesome life. If only, right? Anyways I think that being complete with this term at school it is only appropriate to start looking at another video series, this one about the great man of science, Carl Sagan.

Earthrise

That famous photo from Christmas Eve, 1968 has inspired so many and will continue to do so many decades from now. To see the Earth rise like we would see the moon or the sun, it's intense. Knowing that the Earth is just a small speck of what is this universe.

Something so simple as being able to just see Earth, not the continents, not the countries, but the simple planet. It seems that we would have realized that it was silly to continue fighting our wars, that we would be able to put aside our differences and look towards the stars. After all with a world where mankind works together and pools their resources the amount of scientific knowledge that we would gain would be tremendous. I can only hope that in my lifetime I will see mankind set aside its differences and look to the future. To end this post here is part two of Neil DeGrasse Tyson, We Stopped Dreaming.

Risen Again

Okay, so I am defiantly putting this as my homepage on this computer. So those laptop issues finally took their toll about six months ago and now I have a clunker desktop from when I was 15 and it ran Windows 95, have running XP currently. So that donate button is super helpful at this point, to help me get a laptop to do all sorts of awesome stuff. So let's recap where I am at, almost done with school, have 2 QC books, saw tons of great movies, read a bunch of great books, and have a lot of things to talk about. So we will start with a set of books I picked up, The Foundation Series. It's a pretty interesting bit of science fiction that postulates what would happen if a science is born that predicts what humans as a whole will do. Not individuals but rather as a group how we would behave and if that science was used to save us in our future, by setting up the "Foundations" to guarantee a reserve of scientific knowledge. Overall I give the whole series 9/10, written by Issac Asimov. To leave us off I will be posting the first in an ongoing series featuring Dr. Neil DeGrasse, We Stopped Dreaming.
