And tuco

Image
I don´t remember exactly when was, but was around four or five years ago. I went with my family to Antuco, is not a big city, but is known for the volcano that is near. In this moment of my life, I did want to study geology, and this trip was a perfect opportunity to know a powerful structure built for the nature. We were there about two or three weeks, around the eighth day we went to the volcano, in the in the path we saw a big monolith in memory of a military platoon, who dies in a blizzard when they are marching  from the barracks. When we arrive to the skirts of the volcano, the road was flat, as we were going forward, begin to be steeper. In a point (I remember so good this part), the soil was covered for a little black rocks with little craters, like meteorites and the air, smells like ashes, and we are not near of the volcanic cone. We traveled around fifteen minutes more and the air was gray, and smells like rotten eggs and ashes (Probably, for the sulfur), fifteen minute...

Turkey, like turkey

An old and forgotten city between Europe and the middle east, between the black sea and the Aegean sea, in the Bosphorus, is Istanbul. Isn´t a country, but is a city in a country, that I would like to go, Turkey. Is a ancient country that was the territory of the Byzantine empire and later, of the Turkish empire (dah), Who brought with it, the official religion, Islam. In the ancient this place, controls the trade of goods from Asia and India to Europe; and the control of this region by the Turkish, caused the discovery of America. Personally I would like live in Istanbul or Edessa, ancient cities full of history. Is for this reason that I love this country, the history, so much things happened there, the biggest empires of the earth fought there for this strategic zone, Greeks, Persians, Assyrians, Romans, Saracens. The people that was there builds immense buildings, mosques, bridges, among others. I would like live or work in this place BUT exist a little problem, the...

Last blog :c

In an occasion, after the A2 of maths I was so sad and tired, and I didn´t want go to English class, we have the intention  of tell it this to the teacher, we the hope that he allow us not to enter the class. Against all odds, the teacher invited us to enter his class, no with the objective of write the weekly blog, but with the intention that we forget (for a moment) the test and we let´s relax. This situation reflex mi general experience with the blogs, a space to forget what is happening around and write a text, read information to write it, and play chess when we finished. Is in this last moment when we talk with the teacher about different things, Tchaikovsky´s work, history, movies, etc. In general I think that the idea of select a topic from a list of topics is excellent, because the opportunity to select about of that we will write.  In the future a good idea (in my opinion) would be add more activities in relation with the career, for example, the teacher give a ...

The future is today, you heard me old?

Yesterday I´m reading about the scientist news of the last week and one, got my attention; until this year, should be a "cannon" know that the nervous system isn´t regenerable or even, that the spinal cord is iregenerable; but in December of this year Sergio Canavero will be the first doctor in perform a head transplantation to his patient Valeri Spiridonov. The physician affirms that he was effect this process in rats, and they survive! but, What´s the secret? really is simple, a chemical compound named polyethylene glycol, this compund has the property to regenerate the nervous system cells and promote the  reparation of this system. In general, this is important in many sciences of the health like the medicine or pharmacy, especially in this last, basically for the use for a chemical compound (drug) for a treatment. Is common the people what is paralysed for a accident of because has a ill in the childhood, but this method can restore the movement in this unlucky person...

Chemistry: the central science

Image
Since I was a child the sciences (naturals and socials) they seemed to me so interesting; I wanted be physician, and the anatomy was a science to "investigate" for around 3 years, I bought books about this, draw draws about this (Worth the redundant redundancy). When I was 12 years old in the school, we were studying  the bases of the chemistry; chemical elements, their symbols, the atomic models, so general things. Was in this moment when I met the chemistry (...and other sciences). I remember that in a test we must memorise the first ten elements of the periodic table, in this moment was a big challenge, and I learned the first 16. In this moment I noticed that this like me, and in the secondary I take the elective of Chemistry and I liked it even more. Now I´m studying Pharmacy and this career has a strong base in the chemistry, is for the reasons set out above that  my favourite subject is chemical laboratory techniques, Is a balanced subject in general, we have theor...

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...
