Reading about Quantum Physics and the way the world works on a scientific – or even smaller – level, it’s very easy to become first confused and then disenchanted about life. First you might think How can a table be rock solid when it’s actually made up of lots of little things which aren’t really even solidly connected? And secondly you might ponder ever setting foot outside your door again, as the risk of a black hole opening up is so enormous (and it truly, genuinely is. I’m not just being dramatic – science says it’s possible!). Yet we do, every day, so what does that tell us about our race? It tells us that we’re optimistic, is what! But here’s the thing: get too close to science and you’ll stop enjoying and appreciating life. So is it any wonder that scientists seem to be perpetually thinking (and some not appreciating life like the average night-clubber)? Probably not. After all, on the level they see the world at, there’s an awful lot to think about.
…life is too short to be worrying about the little things and even some of the biggest questions…
In these times where the world is grappling with a massive depression, many people are losing their jobs on a daily basis. This has made having and keeping a job a key goal of many who are working. Many people are seeking ways to ensure that they keep their job no matter what. In order to make it difficult for your boss to let you go, here are some ways you can recession proof your job.
Growing up where I did, I was lucky; I lived near woodland, and farmland, and if I ever wanted to go and stroke a pig or watch a cow pumping milk out, I could just walk down the road. This made me very aware of many things which modern city-living-youth probably don’t get to witness or see: I got to see what work was from a young age, and realised how important farming and agriculture is in the grand scheme of things, no matter where we live.
One thing which I learned early on was that fuel is expensive. My friend’s dad was the farmer in our village, and he was always going on about how much Red Diesel Nottingham charged him every time he filled his tractor up. We always used to laugh at him and run off and do our thing, but as the years went by we understood that actually, money was quite a big deal. We knew this because we were starting to earn a little bit of money and it really wasn’t going very far…
learning about fruit and meat and veg is something that can be applied to other things, too
If you ask me, farming tells us pretty much everything we need to know about the world and how we live in it. It tells us about food production, milk and lots of other things (why vegetables are crucial to a healthy lifestyle, etc). If you took farms away then you really wouldn’t have much left in the village I grew up, in the way of food.In fact, I’d go as far as to say that the village would experience a tremendous problem in the way of living. Without a farm, the villagers would be forced to travel miles to get their food, which just wouldn’t be practical for many of the older folk who aren’t in the habit of driving any distance.
Of course, most kids in cities have no chance at all to discover these vitally important things. And in a way that’s OK – they can get a cheeseburger when they need to, and they don’t need to know how a cheeseburger is made to live a full and satisfying existence. That said, learning about fruit and meat and veg is something that can be applied to other things, too, because at the same time as learning about what goes into food, you can learn important lessons, such as what vitamins and nutrients they contain and how these things can be helpful to your body.
It has been a challenge for me to explore the legal principles that guide people’s lives and I found quite a lot of resemblances in our laws and the Bible texts that convey the meaning of being a Christian. From a pure scientific interest, I have concluded that most of the laws nowadays originate from the perception of mankind of what is wrong and what is right as described in the Christian texts in the Bible. In any dimension, from More
Art comes in many forms, but even I didn’t expect mobile phones to be such a huge purveyor of it.
Reading the Mail Online (I know, shoot me) there was a simply fascinating piece on phone art. David Hockney an artist living in London, has been using his iPhone to create mini masterpieces for his friends, family and paying clients. They are not shabby paintings either. An application on the phone allows the user to treat the phone as an More
The more I learn about money and how we use it, the more I begin to think that we should go back to the ways of the olden-days: bartering and exchanging goods for goods. Here is why I think this would be better than continuing to use money:
1) It would be more fun.
2) More people would get more exercise, what with all the carrying things everywhere all the time.
3) Digital things would die out and humans would More
As stated in the “About me” bit at the bottom of this page, I don’t perceive myself to be anywhere near the man that the great Leonardo was. But there again? I started to think, how do you judge a man?
This is a tricky question if ever there was one…do you judge a man on looks, talents, abilities, social standing, kindness, compassion, or capacity to love? A man may be extremely talented, but if he is unkind with it, More
Historians find it difficult to point to an exact time when music started but both creationism and evolution-ism agree that music has existed for thousands of years. Music is an art that can be found in every known culture, it is universal. Music communicates with the soul by connecting with the listener. When I listen to music that addresses something in my life, it touches me and that is why I agree with the opinion of a friend who has More
The Kindle, as well as being a dedicated e-reader which allows you to download tons of books from Amazon, also has…free books? And not rubbish free books either (well, alright, it does have some rubbish free e-books but let’s not dwell on that here) but free books by amazing world-renowned authors!
Ooh Natalie Portman. If you ask me, whenever Natalie Portman’s name is mentioned there should be an Ooh either before it or after it, or even both, depending on the context and the situation.
And if you were also a fan of swan’s as a child, especially black dangerous looking swan’s that look like they can rip your head-off, let alone break your arm, then Black Swan should be right up your street. Or river. Both, really. It’s just a More
