uwot's new blog
Finally got round to tarting up my blog (actually, I started afresh). The first two posts are here: http://willijbouwman.blogspot.co.uk Bit of Big Bang and atoms and stuff. Coming up: quantum mechanics and relativity. Easy peasy.
Re: uwot's new blog
It is nice to see that you have contradicted yourself...:
"Everything we can see is made of atoms." .. and "It's actually impossible to be certain what the universe is made of."
It highlights the distinction between science and philosophy.

Well, the thing is, the universe isn't only made of atoms; just the bits we can see.A_Seagull wrote:It is nice to see that you have contradicted yourself...:

Re: uwot's new blog
So far I'm enjoying your ground-up systematic approach. Will keep reading.
Re: uwot's new blog
It would be relevant to apply the scale of the Atom, that there's so must vast space of nothingness between nucleus and electron, why matter can be squeezed so much. Earth can be squeezed into a peanut sized object.
Also that Electrons has a pattern and Atoms has up, mid and down spin.
Don't really understand the point of all this, since I think it's mandatory school teachings.

Just added another bit on photons; what they are and what they do. Usual place: http://willijbouwman.blogspot.co.uk

I think you misunderstood what I said, the things I added isn't taught in basic school here in Denmark, but it's advanced knowledge.
I said I don't understand why you would teach basic things, and not advanced things.

Good luck with your blog! I love the illustrations - very clear and colourful.uwot wrote:Finally got round to tarting up my blog (actually, I started afresh).

Re: uwot's new blog
Just started reading your new blog and it is fantastic so far! Although it's really easy, (i.e the head bone's connected to the neck bone....lol) you still have to have somewhat of a memory to follow along.uwot wrote:Finally got round to tarting up my blog (actually, I started afresh).

That being said, why don't you instead invent that thing they had in the movie, 'The Matrix", where one could download the lesson into their brain and be done with it!
That would be very helpful...thanks...lol.
P.S. SOS...please help me! I am being held hostage by a tall orange man in a clown suit. I have been sucked into an alternative universe/reality TV show where the majority of people surrounding me believe "alternative facts" are a legitimate science.
I don't know if I can survive., they seem hell bent on destruction. I have lost all hope.

Definitely will spend my next time allotment for sciency stuff on your site.
Re: uwot's new blog
Thanks Rick. It's really a draft for a book; the second part of which is going through all the characters who were responsible for the ideas. It's history, so it's meat and potatoes to me. Glad you like the pics. I'm going to pick Rian's brains for the book illustrations, and he's bleeding' good at it.RickLewis wrote:Good luck with your blog!

Thank you. I have taken your point about remembering stuff and have tried to incorporate it into the latest post on Prisms. Let me know if it works.artisticsolution wrote:Just started reading your new blog and it is fantastic so far!

With any luck, if you pinch yourself in four years time, it will all have been a bad dream.artisticsolution wrote:P.S. SOS...please help me!

Well yes, given that I'm such a shambles, I've surprised even me.attofishpi wrote:...which is amazing when you think about it.
