*: The Best Spinner Blows big time

*: The Best Spinner Blows big time:
"I suppose I should clarify before I get into doodoo about why The Best Spinner Blows big time. Well it blows the competition right out of the water. I have tried all sorts of spinners for years and this just takes the cake and eats it."

Steve Jobs Mending the Rift Between Science and Math

Mending the Rift Between Science and Math

Not sure if the Science community would agree but I believe Steve Jobs did a great deal to help improve the scientific and technology arena through keeping technology simple. Even during the time the rift happened between Apple and Steve Jobs, Steve was working to provide better technology.


I'm not going to tarnish the Steve Jobs name by giving any sort of credit to the possibility of some moron doing this fake steve jobs routine. I know probably since Steve Jobs death, how Steve Jobs family have had to cope with all sorts of problems and attention from media of all sorts without this latest spate.

As I sit here using my iPad and after watching a documentary about Steve Jobs, his work and his death, I not only wish I could have had the honor of meeting him, but that the world of science and math would take a leaf from his book of life, in particular, when he returned to Apple. The rift between science and math is seemingly rejuvenated with each new generation going through school. A journal entitled Mending the Rift Between Science and Math, has even been written. Though I have not read the article I do know it was written in 1974, and that the authors were calling upon a more Active approach to teaching math in American elementary schools.

Though I was still yet to start school at the time of its being written, I too have noticed this educational rift. With the advent of computers in schools for student usage and education the mending of the rift had a massive hand up given. Steve Jobs obviously found his own way to mending the rift between science and math even if only at a personal level.

Mathematics is actually a science and here in Australia some primary schools, our equivalent to elementary school, are fortunate enough to have teachers working hard at mending the rift between science and math by not only teaching the children math is one of the sciences, but by also using the very scientific technology Steve Jobs was part of making what it is today, to enable the children a more active approach in math.

I was in high school when computers were first used for learning purposes and back then it was mostly in math classes, learning programming and mathematical application. I therefore believe the mending of the rift between science and math really began when computer science was introduced through math classes.

Big bang theory of the Math playground

I am of two minds when it comes to the Science of the Big bang theory, the Math just doesn't add up. You see anyone can come up with something and if enough people talk about it the right way people tend to believe it to be true.

Maybe I would be better at Math, if we had things like Math games and Math playground when I went to school. Mind you it seemed the teachers just like the kids seemed to just want to pick on me. As a direct result now I am having to learn this stuff all over again. It's no wonder my high school has disappeared, mind you some of the teacher were ok. Therefor I hand this to my partner to finish.

I too got picked on at school by the students, but for my scientific intellect. I loved learning, loved math loved science. I just didn't fit in too well socially no matter how or what I tried. Maybe that's why the series Big Bang Theory hit such a cord with me, and opposed to my Bioligist sibling, I get the true humor of the show.

Though I had not yet fully learnt the Big bang lyrics before starting to watch something else I did familiarize with it enough to know it is a very reasonable entertainment breakdown of the big bang theory.

Oddly enough, considering the main characters of Big Bang Theory are scientists who fields and works deal greatly with math, they don't seem to play any math games. Maybe they supposedly spent more than enough time in a math playground to not feel inclined to go for the math games when playing traveling games even.

Though we did not have access to the type of gaming technology we have now days, I do recal many of my primary school teachers had their versions of a math playground and the way the presented the puzzles and games we played, we often did not realise we were doing math as a subject until the teacher closed the session by stating that it was the end of our math lesson and what we were doing next.

I still like doing math games And though many may not agree, I include Sudoku as a math game especially when you look at the spin off Kakuro requires calculating atop of the basic Sudoku rules to work the puzzles out.

Did Robert Noyce help with a New Planet Discovered

UFO sightings shown here of 3 different craft over a 2 year period on the Gold coast. see below for more info click images for larger size

I had to get help with this story because it was or is so big because it's not everday you here of a New Planet Discovered let alone even the remote possibility of a new earth discovered. Here's the odd thing I am following NASA in Google + circles and I saw no mention of it. Maybe this was overshadowed by the fact of the last lunar eclipse for 2011, which happened 10 December 2011 Time: 12:07 PM ET

Gold coast UFO sighting Australia
My hopes were dashed today after many years of being in search of a new place to just someday getaway. I just found out the New Planet Discovered which is most earth like named Kepler-21b has a temperature of a blistering 2,960 degrees Fahrenheit.

Mind you I only found out on Jan 2 2012 about this New Planet Discovered, however with all this modern technology the newspapers seem to have quite a bit of lag time versus the web one newspaper who I shall not name said

21 Dec 2011 –
Nasa's Kepler space telescope has found a rocky planet named Kepler-21b has a temperature of a blistering 2,960 degrees Fahrenheit.

And yet another news article found in a British news paper makes it known NASA's Keplar space telescope has made 3 new planet discoveries in the month of December 2011 and a total of 28 finds since the project started in 2009. And yes though some of the have headlines making claims such as New earth discovered, and earth like planet, they are just grabbing the readers's attention enough to get the message that a new planet has been discovered, though the fact it may not be that physically new, our knowledge of it is.

In 1959 The Tinkerings of Robert Noyce affectionately known as as the "Mayor of Silicon Valley" led to him being the inventor of the Integrated Circuit, to which without it the IC or Integrated Circuit we would probably not have the type of computers we know of today. He also oversaw the invention of the microprocessor. And can even be looked upon as the father of the working style in the Silicon Valley.

Maybe the revolutionary inventiveness of Robert Noyce even assisted NASA in the space race in the early days. It certainly would have with modern computer development and even in enabling the some of the construction of the powerful telescopes that enable news of New planet decovered to be heralded. Not to mention all the electronic devices that we can now enjoy today in cost effective mass quantities.

One thing I do find compelling is the fact that some people are of the opinion that if we do find a planet truley like earth that communication with it's inhabitants would be futile due to the time it would take for it to travel over the vast distance required. Who said it would take longer than the lifetime of human or the receiving life form to make communication possible? Just look at quickly technology has advanced in the very fields required for both finding such a planet, in communication and computing, thanks to people like Robert Noyce, Steve Jobs and places like NASA.

Maybe by the time we actually find a planet to communicate with our only major obstacle in viable communication will be the language barrier. Who's to say most of the Sci-fi stories aren't in fact truth told to the more gifted story tellers on a psychic level by the aliens in their stories.

Aliens live here ? I always wondered
Just as who's to say the UFO's the world governments can't identify, specially since reportedly they move so fast, aren't beings from the very planets we seek and their frequency of being sighted encreases in number and witnesses are directly related to how close our telescopes are to finding their planet, before repositioning to look elsewhere.

Who knows, they may have super advanced technology that enables them to travel and communicate across thousands of light years in a matter of hours and the new planet discovered to them was us. I am of open enough mind to acknowledge the possibility of this being scientific fact even though our planet's level of scientific knowledge is yet to prove either way.


If you are interested in investigating the photos above (Gold coast UFO sighting Australia) I have the original digital file and the enlargement of it. I will certify to the fact these have not been edited except for moving the date and blowing up to around 600pixel per inch for better visibilty
