Mr. Sagan

Image
"We are stardust, let's prove it being brilliant" Really was so difficult choose only one scientist that I admire, Servet, Einstein; Nobel or even Elon Musk; but I already wrote about Musk, in Spanish, but doesn´t matter. Carl Sagan (1934-1996) is the best Science promoter that exist, surely the most recognised thing that he do, is "Cosmos", I´m speaking about the first (are two Cosmos, of Sagan and of de Grasse Tyson), aside from he was a prominent astronomer, astrophysicist and cosmologist; trough the observation of Venus he discovered the global warming in planetary scale. Also he was a great writer I had the pleasure of read "Pale blue dot. A vision of the human future in space" and is a so beautiful book. He is the responsible of the idea of put a gold disc in the Voyager I and in the Voyager II with the hope of transmit information about the humans, anyway he was aware that this "message" could be could be difficult to decipher...

Would be hard say which is my favourite book, but I can make a "list" with the books what I liked most.  In general I like the works of Friedrich Nietzsche, he isn´t a author like King o Christie, is a sooooooo dense philosopher (denser that Kant or Hegel even); "the genealogy of morals", "the Antichrist", "thus spoke Zarathustra", "the twilight of the idols"; are the ones I like most. Is so important to name in this "list" to Edgar Allan Poe; "the raven", "the black cat", "the delator hearth", are the ones I like most. Oscar Wilde and his "selfish giant", "the nightingale and the rose" are others... Another book that I like is the little prince, and in this i will write a little more, not because is long, but have so much interpretations and is so metaphoric (I had the theory that the little prince is dead, but the quotes of the fox they make me doubt). Is this what mak...

One of my favourite photos.

Image
Really this photography isn´t mine, in fact, not even was taken by me; is a very popular image that is in Internet, I don´t know who and when take it, but every time that I go to my home in subway and this goes through Quinta Normal station, I remember this photo, and laugh (and no a few). The image is a person (I don´t know if is man or woman) crushing a balloon (I´m not sure) with a minion shape, I get the impression that the person who is next are trying to stop this savage act, definitely the people that is around no note it, apparently the photo was taken from the other side of the platform of the subway.  I don´t know why this photo makes me so funny but every time that I look it in Internet, am in Quinta Normal or a friend shows it to me, I laugh. 

Music in my life

Image
Really, I do not like to much the music, but are a little quantity of singers or groups that I like. In general, I prefer the indie music and a few German groups of Rock (Faun or A3 for example). Anyway is easier say the music that I hate, because is only one, the reggaeton. When I was a child I almost did not listen to music, but the sound of pianos, violins or flutes are sufficient. Is for this that I know to much about classical music. Also, I was in a religious school, and that no helps to know new music. How I never did have passion for the music, I neither learn to play any instrument (except the flute, that I did must to learn to play it in the school.), anyway, in my family the majority play instruments, especially, the guitar. Also, to many of my my friends play the guitar, I am the only useless in as far as music is concerned :c Is a good moment to speak about the music of films that I like, in general the soundtrack of star wars are awesome, but I prefer the soundt...

My Nintendo 64 :D

Image
Really, isn´t a old apparatus, but my oldest memories playing some videogame are with a Nintendo 64, this videogame console had so many games, but I only can remember a few of these, Super Mario 64, The legend of Zelda: Ocarina of time and The legend of Zelda: Majora´s Mask. The first are easy, the second; hard, the third soooo hard. Really... the three are easy, but in this time the forest temple or the stone tower temple are imposible xD. I don´t know how was that we bought but some day wasn´t in my house and the following day was in the table in front the TV. If I never had my Nintendo 64 my childhood, I would to have been forced to socialize with the children of the street where I lived. Actually I don´t use periodically, sometimes I bag it of the closet and play a few.

When I was ten, I wanted study to be a Doctor because I thought that is the only career whit science (I was really wrong xD). The time passed and the studies was not something important, until the last year of primary school I learned in natural sciences related topics with the atoms, atomic models and periodic table, but my favourite topic was definitively; the chemical elements, I remember that we must memorise the first ten elements for a test, but I was so fascinated with the subject that I learn the first thirty-six (Krypton), but in the test I forgotten the seventeen element (Chlorine), since then I never forgot this element. In the high school the idea to be a Doctor still chasing after me, but I continued loving the chemistry, it was no until the last year of high school that a classmate tell me the idea of study chemistry and pharmacy. When I left the high school my NEM was so sad and I  realized that study physician definitely isn´t a option, so now it was easier to de...

Hello, my name is Ignacio Guitérrez but I prefer that you say me Nacho. I was born on May 3 in Santiago, Chile. My father have a business of air conditioner and my mother is kindergarden educator. He used to live in Peñalolen but when knew to my mom he moved house to Estación central, that is the place where we live actually. I studied my basic education in Colegio Holanda de la congregación religiosa de las hermanas franciscanas penitentes recolectinas de la inmaculada concepción de María, it´s a so long name for a simple school, but i was there a good part of my childhood. Then, I continue my studies in Liceo san Pedro Poveda, there we use a lab coat all the day but we did no use uniform. And now I am studying chemistry and pharmacy in Universidad de Chile, I´m so happy here because I love the career and the new people I´m meeting.
