booked

now friday night is taken. most likely, it will be spent at laugh's comedy club.

i finally posted a new indians blog posting.

i want a microscope. ideally, something with 100X's power. i think that will be my next purchase.

oh yeah, last night i was reading the newest issue of discover. there was a short article that dealt with the topic of whether time exist. i had always pondered the same question in my head. i was wondered how time was considered a dimension. at least the word 'and' always precedes 'time' when the four dimensions are mentioned. a clock does not measure time. ask the people who run the national clock. a second is defined as a certain (large) number of vibrations of a cesium atom. time is different depending on the speed one is travelling. why? the change is minute till one reaches 90% the speed of light. anyway, i could go on. my reason for bringing this up was a quote from albert einstein.

'Now he has departed from this strange world a little ahead of me. That means nothing. People like us who believe in physics know that the distinction between the past, present, and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion'.

he was writing to a relative of a friend of just recently passed away. i guess i have always believed in physics. maybe in theory only. it is hard to imagine him offering solace with those words after one has lost their seventh month old nephew.
