ERROR! baaaaaaaaaah
be good or else pat will eat you
Ranting is fun.
I hope you enjoy randomness.
Cool Einstein quotes:
"Music does not influence research work, but both are nourished by the same source of longing, and they complement one
another in the release they offer."
"imagination is more important than knowledge."
"every man has his own cosmology and who can say that his own is right."
"whoever undertakes to set himself up as the judge in the field of Truth and Knowledge is shipwrecked by the laughter of the
gods."
"if we knew what we were doing, it would not be called research, would it?"

i like to learn and think, but nobody to rant with so here
my thoughts and rants
BAH!
in the windless age
the calm visage
of her i wish to feel
i wander alone
transfixed on the tone
of her voice that is not real
i close my eyes
and search the skies
of her caress that sleep has sealed
forever i shall feel
its all about the little things
j-j-j-jellooooo! and space?
a bowl of jello you say? yes i say, a bowl of jello. i am going to rant about a bowl of jello. but not that kind of jello, oh
no, i am talking about a different type of jello. it is something called space. according to einstein, the space we occupy,
and the space that everything else occupies is somewhat like jello. but of course, he probably didnt use the analogy to
jello, but since we all know and love jello then i think it is a good example. jello, when untouched and ignoring the random
jiggling, is nice and smooth and quite nice. when something, say a small marble is placed on top of the jello, it will warp
to the shape of the marble and suspend it in place. if you replace the small marble with a slightly bigger marble, then there
will be more warping to support the larger mass. and how is this related to space? well one way you could try to think about
the space we move in is kinda like a bowl of jello. the more mass there is, the more displacement of space (da jello) there
is to hold it. hmmmmmmmmm....sooooooo, what your really trying to say is???? i dont know im just ranting.. so bah, just
listen and dont ask questions and maybe you will pick up something interesting here. now let me try to illustrate this in
terms of our solar system. say there is a 3-d sheet of space, like the top of the jello. place the sun on that sheet and you
get a big warp in space, kinda like how the larger marble was placed on our jello. now add the earth and some other planets,
hmmmm, lets say mercury and jupiter. despite their near insignificant mass compared to the sun, all three planets create
their own warpage of space. now, have you ever played that game at perkins where you drop in the coin in this thing and it
spins around as it is pulled to middle and eventually falls in the hole? well if you havent then go do it cause its cool, and
if you did then cool. now imagine that the sun is in the center, and the planets are the coins that spin around, except they
are on much grander scales and much greater velocities and do not fall towards the sun quite like the coins do. it is very
hard to explain, but it is proven that the planets follow elliptical paths around the sun, thanks to my man kepler, but to
make this rant simpler, we can assume they are circular paths. aint nothing wrong with assuming huh? ok, back to the rant.
well as i was saying, the planets remain in orbit around the sun, but it is because of the sun's warping of space that the
planets stay in orbit around the sun. they move in circles around the sun, so therefore there is some sort of centripetal
acceleration. and where there is acceleration, there is a force. and that force would be.........yes, gravity! the gravity of
the sun (the warping of the space around it) holds the planets in orbit. so what exactly is gravity? an easy way to look at
it would be to think about space as a sheet and gravity as the warping of that space. when mass is present in space, space
is warped, and gravity exists. this is the basic idea that einstein revealed to the world in his general thoery of
relativity. and i probably just tortured it with my crappy explanation, but hey, im sure i didnt get it totally wrong, so if
you feel skeptical about my explanation then take the time to look it up. hopefully this was at least somewhat interesting to
read and it wasnt a waste of your time. if it was, then im sorry you are so easily inclined to read everything i have on this
page, or else it wouldnt be a waste of your time. so ha! ok im too tired to continue, so i conclude with
this...............joo?
i know im missing a lot, but i will add
