The higgs boson

Well this particle is making some noise these days.
Firstly, one of the most important physics of the history, Stephen Hawking, said that it doesn't exist. Nowadays, both Cern and the US Tevatron, have evidences of a possible Higgs boson.ñ
Firstly why is that particle so important?
The Higgs boson, is a key piece to prove the certanly of the Standard Physics Model, that model explains how the particle world works, if the Standard Model is true the physics world could change.
And why it is a key piece?
The higgs boson it's seems to be the responsible of the mass of the others particles, in common words, higgs create the mass to other particles.
So as I was saing, the Cern and the US tevatron have evidences, they cannot say that they've discovered the boson because they just have a 1% possiblity to fail but in my opinion quite soon will be an annouce for that dicovery

"El arbol de la ciencia" by Pio Baroja.

I read this book nearly one month ago, as you know this book as to be read if you want to go to the selectivity exams.

I think that book is an interesing example of nineteen century spanish literature. The plot of the book is about a boy that's going to be a doctor, then the boy form a pesimistic life style explais how is the spain of late nineteen century. It's quite obious that the book is a biography of the same author, Pio Baroja, was a doctor as his main character, he lived on Madrid too and the things that happens on the film happened realy on his life so we could say that the book is a nice autobiography.
Moreover we can appreciate the pesimistic philosophy of Schopenhauer and the life stlye of the german philosophs like Kant.


In my opinion this book explains pretty well the moment before the fall of Cuba and how does the spanish intelectuals live with Europe. As the main character say, the spanish people think that they are the bests in Europe and they other countries dont want to reconize that because of gelosy.

Spanish Ciivl War

Because I got no ideas of what to do I decided to post about a theme that we've just done in our history class, the civil war.
Well at is said, the spanish civil war was planned to be a one-day coup d'etat, but the vilians decided to front the rebels. The civil war lasted three years of battles. Franco, the head of the rebelion started from south, Marroco, and he decided to go up, from Marroco to the north trying to get Madrid, but he failed on his try to get Madrid.
Then he decided that they should change his strategy, he sent the main part of the army to get north, the mission was completed. When he got the north he decided to split the republic in two parts, so he atack vilages to get to the sea. The mission was completed too, on that moment " la batalla de l'Ebre" happened, when the republic saw that they had lost they decided to recall back to France.
Finally Franco got the power of Spain for more than 20 years, and he punished Spain.

The new revolution

Few years ago appeared a new form of communcation with friends or relatives, people use programs to comunicate each other using his own voice, that type of programs are making people to left other types of communication websides or programs exept of twitter or facebook.
This programs such as Skype, Team-speak, raidcall, mumble are used to comunicate each other in on-line events like in games.
These programs are a revolution because most of people feel that comunicate with his own voice makes thinks more clear and easy to understand and its more confortable.

I think that this new type of communication it's one of the best parts of the internet, you can echange for free comunication all around the world just in a second. But there is a negative consequence for some business, mostly of phones companies, because nowadays if you got and smartphone you can use Skype as easy as if you where at home in your PC.

Tron: Legacy

I saw this film in english yesterday.
As far as I know this film was based in another one made on 1986 or near this year.
The plot of the film is quite complicated, it's a boy that his father was one of the main videogames creator, he's father was an inventor too. One day his father went to work and he never appeared.
After twenty years his son, who enherit his father company decided to visit his father old buisiness, a gameshop of arcade games. There he discovered a secret chamber were his father worked. Then because of a botton he toched he just disapeared of the reallity and he appeared into a videogame univers.
That's just the introduccion and if you want to know more about that film you should watch it, I won't tell the end of the history.

In my opinion that film is a amazing film, as it's based on a classic film of sci-fy it's just completelly difernt to others that I've seen.
Finaly I'd like to say that if you got a chanse to watch it just do it, its an incredible and quite possible future.

Can Internet make the world a better place?

Nowadays internet is becoming popular in our society, but internet has diferent connotations, positive ones say that internet is the tool of the future, others think that interent is useless.

On the one hand as we can see, internet is a tool to denunce, the "musulman spring" is a good example. As a result, lots of goverments are closing Internet because of the unestopable echange of information. Besides, what could had hapen if wikipedia wouldn't exist?

On the other hand interent is a fake, as someone said:"Internet let us do whatever we want", this quote is unrealistic, current children think this way. Furthemore, Interent is making the mankind useless and sutpid, some people think that something is good because it's on the internet.

To sum-up, internet is making us the most stupid race in the world. Internet is a tool for bad people to trap children and elderly people. We should avoid interent as much as possible.

Ideal partner

I'm going to explain how would be my ideal partner.
I really don't care about her name, she should be between 18-20 years old and as tall as me, aprox. 1.75m, blonde or red-haired. She has to be quite intelligent, neither too braining nor a foolish girl.
Definitely, she has to be cute and pretty.


She mustn't believe in God, it's kind of weird to me to be with a girl that believes in God. As I said she has to be intelligent, and quite neat. I really hate to clean up the house...and all this stuff, so I'd like to leave this job to her. If I've to, I will but I'd rather not to.

To sum up, a pretty girl with enough intelligence to have her own personality.

Oral Presentation

Because of tecnical problems the oral presentation is in the following link:

Megaupload

Few days ago, the head of megaupload was arrested in New Zeland because of sofware piracy. This guy was the leader of a web page that reproduced for free all types of films, this web page gave internet links to all possible thinks without paying anything to the authors.
That succed for more than 7 years. Megaupload was producing loss of money on film directors and actors. So New Zeland goverment and U.S goverment decided to change the situation. With the FBI in front, both goverments closed megaupload and they arrested the leaders of all kind of sofware piracy web pages.

This actions produced that Anonymus, the most important group of hackers of the world, atacked diferent U.S buildings hacking accounts, changing names ...
Anonymus got his fame when they decided to atack and hack diferent companies, that stopped sponsoring Wikileaks.

Now a days, most ilegal web pages had close because of the warning of U.S, but there are some that still hold on the fire line to let us see what we want when we want without paying.

The ancient scandinavian trees

Link: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-17235229
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/7353357.stm
It was know that trees in scandinavia decend from same ancestors which came from south after the Ice Age. Recenly studies of DNA have discovered that there are two types of trees in Scandinavia. The ones that come from south and the new discovered ones that decend from conifers trees that survived last Ice Age. This discover challenges the traditional notions that all trees were killed off by the ice.
One hypothesis is that trees were able to survive on the top of nunataks, the exposed peaks of mountains protected from glacial cover, or in more sheltered areas close to the coast where proximity to the temperate conditions of the Atlantic Ocean favoured the survival of this ancient trees.

After that discover some experts searched and found near scandinavia the oldest tree in the world. This tree seems to be 10.000 years old and it's now holding the World Guinnes Record, it took it form a californian tree that have 4700 years old aproximately.

Comments


In my opinion this song talks about the reallity, nowaday we need to change this situation because of the finantial crisis.


I think that this new GPS will stop the continous relay on other countries and will give us the possibiltiy to evolv.


I dont think so guillem, this two parties are the only ones that are able to carry Spain, I think we need new young presidents from PSOE or PP but the party has to be big, if the party isn't big they won't be able to control Spain.

Harry Potter last film

Harry Potter and the deadly hallows Part 2

It was the last film I saw, it's the final film of Harry Potter's series, in that film Harry finally destroy his enemy Voldemort in the final Batlle. I saw it when I was in USA and in my opinion it is a bad translation of the book.
I had read the books and I think it's the worst film in relation of the book. The director invented lot of stuff of the film, it has nothinkg about the book.

First of all the final is not like in the film, Harry kept the all-powerful wand for himself, in the film he destroy it, that's impossible the wand is undestroyable... its a contradiction.
Others thinks are that the Voldemort's snake isn't killed like that, the snake in theory is in a magic ball and it didn't atack.
And finally and most important the dream of Harry in the white room with Dumbledore is completely diferent.

Strange Operation

-Hey dude what's going on?
-Great bro, well, waiting for my penius shortning operation.

-WTF? You're mad, but at least is a medical affair, isn't it?

-Yes, cause' it's hurting my ankle.

-Kidding? How many boxes are you gonna spend?

-Completely truth, 5000 boxes.

-Janna knows about it? She won't agree

-You know, 25 cm after the operation is not bad

-Are you going there today or tomorrow?

-Today at 6 PM

-Wow, is too soon, isn't it?

-Yes, but, OMG it's 4 PM, i gotta go. See ya

-Good luck!

White Collar

White Collar is one of my favorites series. It's about a thief (Neal Caffry) that has been cougth by the FBI, then he did a deal with the FBI to work with them to find other thiefs.

Neal Caffry is a strange and refined man with odd likes, he has a friend Mossy that is a thieff. Neal has two lifes, one helping the FBI and the other founding his exgirlfriend or treasures.
Neal is controlled by Peter Burke the agent of the FBI that cougth him, in the lasts episodes of 1st season they finally become friends, but Neal still not let Peter know his secrets.

In my opinion is a non-convencional serie about thieffs and cops and this stuff, this serie let us imagin about the life of usual thieffs.
Others series that I like are Chuck and Game of Thrones

Barça- Zaragosa/ Madrid -Valencia

Yesterday F.C.Barcelona played vs Zaragosa.
Barcelona own the game quite easy from the begining to the end, they won 4-0 with one goal of Messi, Villa, Puyol and Piqué.

As usually Barça played very well with his style, to moving the ball and don't let Zaragosa play. Messi arrived from Argentina one day before the match, he was very tired but he played withoutstanding his fatigue. Albes traveled from Brasil to Spain and he was tired too.

The other important team of Spain played too, yesterday at 10.00, Madrid won 3-2 suffering because Valencia pushed very hard.

In my opinon Madrid won because of a fail of Valencia's goalkeeper (3-1)

In conclusion I think Barcelona will win next month Madrid because nowadays they are weaker than Barça.

Hypersonic weapons

Pentagon tests long-range hypersonic weapon

NEWS

The US has test-fired a new weapon which can travel at five times the speed of sound, the Pentagon says.

The missile was launched from Hawaii and reached its target on a Pacific atoll 2,300 miles (3,700km) away in less than half an hour.The Advanced Hypersonic Weapon is part of a programme to build new high-speed long-range missiles.Its aim is to allow the US military to strike targets anywhere in the world within an hour.A statement from the Pentagon said the weapon had been launched using a three-stage booster system, which had successfully sent it into the upper atmosphere over the Pacific Ocean.It reached hypersonic speeds before hitting its target on Kwajalein atoll, part of the Marshall Islands.

Link: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-15790620

I think that's a way to create new weapons without alarming the world, because of the problems to create nuclear weapons the USA is creating weapons with lot of range and speed.

These hypersonic weapons are the new missiles for the 3rd world war. ONU is managing all the military nuclear resources and the United States are avoiding this control with this weapons

Dreams

My dreams

When I was young I used to have a dream. I wanted to be a firefighter but I grew up and my mind changed, then I decided to be a physician.

First of all I wanted to study physics in the University of Harvard. I got this dream until I reached my last school of high school, that year I went to Canada to improve my English. When I went there, they said a thing that stunned me, to study at an American University if you are foreign you need to get an 80/120 in the TOEFL exams, and to study at Harvard you must get more than 105/120.

Then I decided to change my dream, because it’s so hard to pass TOEFL, harder with a good mark.

I decided to study physics, but in Barcelona.

I’m in last year of non-obligatory high school so next year I’ll go at university. That’s why actually I need new dreams to think about.

Well, I have one, that will happens when I’ll elderly I want a rural house on the top of a mountain, alone in Alaska.

Joke

Oral presentation

Well because of problems uploading videos in blogger I link this webside : http://vimeo.com/32392389


Self Evaluation:

First of all I'd like to say that I hate to evaluate myself.
I think I was very nervous while the presentation, as in the others oral presentations my hands were shaking and that produced more nervous.
In my point of view I did it quite well and I hope teacher give me a good mark

Neutrinos faster than the light?

I'm going to comment this new: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-15791236

Well last September CERN scientists did and experiment about speed of particles. They concluded that neutrinos may travel faster than the ligth, that produced a that lots of physics critizice the Organization.
CERN because of the important of the discovery and the critics they decided to repeat the the experiment few days ago.

Well first of all I'd like to say that if that's true that will cause lot of problems for the modern physics, scientists said that it will produce some strange thinks in the theoric world we live, such as opportunitis to go to the futurem, new universes, all this stuff.
New technologies will be discovered in the new ages if this conclusion is correct.
