(Disclaimer: The Master Notebook is not a proper noun. It is not how I address my notebook. I hold all notebooks in equal regard.)
May 19 marked the completion of one year since this blog has been fully operational. My distant future is uncertain, like the durability of humans in this Universe. But let's enjoy our brief moment in the sun.
I have taken to updating this blog monthly, so I spent all of May 19th debating whether or not to do this – seeing as it's the middle of the month, and all.
I'm going to post a snippet of something I had considered posting on the blog as an article, but reconsidered it for abstract reasons.
Because apparently this is something authors do for their audience.
Because apparently this is something authors do for their audience.
"Preparing for the SAT Subject Tests made me think about the physics we take for granted. And I was thinking about physics as the plane took off [...].
"There's Bernoulli lift in the takeoff. The air pressure difference pops your ears as you get to cruising altitude. You think about your position in three dimensions. Velocity takes on a whole new meaning.
"Little moments like this make me reaffirm my thoughts. Yes, I want to study astrophysics. I want to see the interplay of theory and practice. I want to cry with awe at the beauty of the world we live in. I love physics.
"People often groan when I point out the physics of everyday life. These are the same people who think physics has no 'practical application.' "
There's more after this, but what comes after this is the reason I won't post the entire thing. I think in harsh words, and that is reflected in my writing, no matter how tactful I try to be.
Well, until June 1, then.
