einstein
dude. i was just relating how cool einstein is yesterday and what do you know, bam! he pops up again today. this morning at breakfast i had the opportunity to learn about W. that is not the crazy W that is attempting to run our country at the moment, but the W in W*e^W=x. it's a pretty freakin cool thing and it took me a minute to get back into theoretical math, but i did enjoy the challenge. and it is neat because although it does have many of the same characteristics as the more simple e^u=x, it is different in 1/e because they will both be approaching 0 but the former will do it from the negative side and the latter will approach it from the positive side.
i spent the late lunch hour learning about the Hubble constant and the acceleration of the universe. now, THAT was freakin fantastic! i don't remember learning about the Hubble constant last year, but that doesn't exactly mean that we didn't cover it :D i am such a great student! hehe.
oh, right, and einstein fits into the puzzle because of his theory of relativity which has to do with things moving through space. see, the universe can expand faster than the speed of light because it is not constrained by einstein's theory because space IS space, it is not moving through space.
other than that, i discovered the marvel of modern OTC medicine! those heat patches that you can buy really do work wonders! i have used them all day on my hip (and taken 3 very long, hot baths) and i can finally put some weight on it. yay! i also got a pair of heels since i am used to wearing those everyday and i only brought flats on this trip anticipating all the walking i would be doing... craziness. i also got m&m stuff for my girls at work and an m&m bear for my mum and i think that is all. it was so nice and sunny that i just sat on a ledge for a bit and watched everybody go by-a nice day of rest.
i also decided that i do not know anything. as usual, i live by a certain set of assumptions that given a certain circumstance a, then i would proceed by living in way b. but everytime i make that statement or even manage to formulate it in my head, then the situation arises and it turns out that b makes no sense at all and the whole thing goes out the window. so, i guess that means that the only way to survive is realize that everything you thought to be true, is false, and therefore you really shouldn't think at all! ha! just kidding of course (on some level). anyway, sleepy time for me-i have a lot more learning to do tomorrow and my head needs a rest now :D
xoxo.m
ps-i can't wait to go home and make something. i am feeling full of 'art' and i am just itching to put something on paper or canvas or material or... something!
