Looking the Large Hadron Collider in Cern Switzerland and how the 10 anniversary of its open is a bit low key given its significance. There are general reports on Florence the Hurricane and I data dump some facts on how theses weather events are powered. It was a really interesting read on Schrodinger and how we set out in general terms an intelligent rational hypothesis of DNA as an a periodic crystal. I felt that the Tsunami article was a bit headline grabbing as it was more about a wave in a Fjord than your classic continent slammer. I felt the article on the homo sapien art was revealing in the way they used the ochre deposits to infer the direction of stroke and tool used. It was then sobering to find that there was prehuman art from 500 000 years ago which chips away at the significance threshold of the entire discovery. The article interviewing the woman who discovered the first pulsar (little green man) was touching. It says something in that if you have an engagement ring you were chucked out the lab as married women don't work. My feeling is that we are just touching the surface of what I call "culture waste" in which opportunity is sacrificed to get some inane element of politics or beliefs right. I am typing a longer blog post to sharpen these cognitive skills and track typing speed and accuracy. Some of the other training involves just writing out entire pages from random books. I can say the last thing is sailing very close to my idea of totally not fun.
