haha... i'm sun burnt from playing tennis today... haha interesting day today wuz... indeed... i realised something wrong with my swing... haha...
anyway had lunch at the club... some baked chicken marcaroni with cheeze and a whole jug of chin chow... haha... oh ya.. and my first issue of new scientist has arrived... haha deciding between this magazine and discover... haha in spirit they are the same magazine... both covering a good deal of modern scientific events with the following differences... my initial preference would be discover cos it's "prettier", better packaged and suited for any casual reader... whereas new scientist looks more academic has a tacky presentation much like the economist, and is made with low quality paper... haha however, i find the content for new scientist to be more current and considering it comes once everyweek, definiately a bargin comaperd to the monthly discover... haha well... shall look at the other issues when they arrive b4 i make my decision... haha
this weeks one covers (in a few pages) the "13 things that don't make sense"... which are... 1. the placebo effect 2. the horizon problem 3. ultra-energetic cosmic rays 4. belfast homeopathy results 5. dark matter 6. viking's methane 7. tetraneutrons 8. the pioneer anomaly 9. dark energy 10. the kuiper cliff 11. the Wow signal 12. not -so-constant constants and 13. cold fusion...
hahah interesting huh... haha wat am i doing in math... so boring... haha shld have done physics or bio or chemistry... arrrrrgggghhh... math... i suppose math is good in a way but u see... with math... u dun get any appreciation... haha all u get is blatant dismisal from 'those not in the circle' cos math apparently seem very trivial and non-constructive... and hence of no significant value... haha which obviously is not true but who am i to start arguing with a biologist or a physicist when clearly the stuff they learn has very obvious and direct applications? haha oh well... i guess math will forever be the bastard child of science... forgotten, laughed at, under-appreciated and abused until it is needed... haha
okie... time to eat the dinner my sis cooked... smells nice.. hahah yumz...
