Evil or Capable?

I was fetching my traditional breakfast at the vending machine (coffee with loads of sugar) and as I was waiting for the buzzing machine to finish mixing all the poisons, a dispatcher was carrying a rather big and hefty box upstairs. He was a smallish, perhaps 1.7 m tall guy, and it was obvious the box was a bit heavy as he was panting and walking all bent backwards, trying not to lose the balance. When I returned to the office I told my coworker and the nearby secretary I sure wouldn't like to be a courier, and explained in a quite picturesque way what I saw. The secretary remarked I was quite heartless, laughing at the poor guy. I told her sure I'm laughing, I have a better job! I'm supposed to be laughing, we live in a dominator culture! Then she said she hopes I'll never be a president or anything, and I was just appalled! What?! Who'd like their president to be a sissy anyway? It's a dominator culture! That's what hierarchy means! Vote for anarchy if you don't like it, baby!

Forget Einstein

Einstein was wrong! Autodynamics is correct, not relativity theory.

There are thousands of physicists, mathematicians, and scientists who know Einstein's theory is wrong. From the GPS satellites that do not use SR, to particle accelerators themselves that treat mass increase as "non-real", SR, the big bang, and black holes are under attack. In their stead, there is no time dilation, the universe is eternal, and black holes are simply dense objects. No wormholes, no neutrinos, no imaginary objects or particles.
There is a conspicuous absence of support for Einstein's Special theory of Relativity. Groups such as the Natural Philosophy Alliance and the SAA are systematically refuting "proof" for Special Relativity and many aspects of General Relativity.
The infamous atomic clock experiment has been refuted and the data is bogus. In a swarm meeting of the AAAS in Flagstaff Arizona in 1996, Dr. Domina Spencer, physics mathematician from the University of Connecticut, presented a talk "Analysis of the Hafele-Keating Experiment". She received the raw data from one of the authors of the original experiment and concluded that the data published was "completely and utterly fabricated".

Sweet

My sweety was displeased about me paying for her coffee, so she bought me some sweets.

But I don't think only this much will suffice. I want plenty more! Wouldn't you agree? ;)

Irresistible

Yay! Just the other day I was out on a coffee and some hot chocolate, when this hot seductive smile came into existence.

I shot it with my new Nokia 6230i. Well, actually the company's new phone, not mine, I just use it. ;)
But seriously, I date the most wonderful woman.

A Case of a Bad Book

I'm reading the book Before the Beginning: Our Universe and Others. I recommend that you avoid it at all cost. I'm two thirds through it and this just does it. I've had it. It's a bad book. Baaaaaad book. The writer should go sit in a corner. For a decade. Just for an example, I'm just through reading about the radiation of black holes. First he mentions that Stephen Hawking theorised that black holes radiate (not directly, but you shouldn't know that at this time). Then he deviates into describing when and where Hawking first mentioned this theory. At the end he added the word "quantum". Quantum radiation of black holes. Nice. Now I know a lot more. He even mentions evaporation of black holes in the next sentence! Wow! And then he goes on describing mini black holes, the size of an atom and the mass of a million tonnes. Then from somewhere he suddenly pulls the Heisenberg uncertainty principle. And couples if with vacuum just like that, telling you that matter-antimatter pairs of particles spontaneously pop into existence for very short time intervals all over the space. They are called virtual pairs of particles. And only then he says that if that happens at the proper distance from a black hole so that one particle gets eaten by the black holes and the other one doesn't (because it's just the right tiny bit away so the black hole doesn't exort enough gravity anymore), then we see that as a sort of faint radiation. Virtual particles become real particles. The black hole diminishes in size slightly because of that. You see, it gains negative mass. So it's disappearing ever so slightly.
I didn't have any trouble reading it, because I know the whole theory already. But I can just imagine a clueless person reading through it collecting a heap of unknown terms to be explained later. That is no way of writing a book on physics. And who cares that Einstein had a son with schizophrenia! There is so much of irrelevant data about when who published what and on what terms they were with other scientists, some tidbits of Einstein's life like I were reading some tabloid, etc. Horrible.
It has a foreword written by Stephen Hawking who wrote about the book in a positive way. That's why I bought it. Hawking writes great books. But now I see I shouldn't blindly believe the foreword. Next time I'll try to read a paragraph first.
Anyway, if you want to read about the stuff in this book, and about a lot more of the interesting stuff, then I recommend The Universe in a Nutshell by Stephen Hawking. And if you're a heavy thinker and want to delve deep into the string theory, explaining multiple dimensions, quantum physics and black holes, check out The Elegant Universe: Superstrings, Hidden Dimensions, and the Quest for the Ultimate Theory by Brian Greene. An extraordinary book. And a bit hard to understand, especially the last few chapters; you really have to focus on what you read and think about it all the time, it's no light reading.

ThinkGeek T-Shirts

Wheee! I became a proud owner of two ThinkGeek T-shirts! But wow, what a fast delivery. I ordered them on Thursday, then they sent me an e-mail requesting me to fax or scan and email them something official so they can verify the billing address. I did that on Friday after which they sent me the T-shirts. And today they were delivered. Fast, I say.
But seriously, noone else ever requested of me to give them something with which to prove my billing address is the correct one. Read this.

Unfortunately, our authorization company is not able to run an address verification check on your billing address, therefore, we will need you to fax (703-293-6292), or scan and email us something official to verify this address. A phone bill or credit card statement would be great. If these are not available, a copy of the credit card with the last four digits visible and a photo ID would also be sufficient.

Summer Temperatures Deviation

Go from summer to autumn in just one week! From 37°C highs to 22°C highs in 7 days! Do you want to wake up at 20°C for two days and then gradually lower it to 10°C? No problem! It just takes 7 days and a bit of global warming to confuse the weather.
But seriously. I'll never get rid of my cold in such a weather. If this continues I'll start prefering winter to summer. Oh the horror!
I wonder if sinuses can be removed.
