Wizards and witches are most famous for their flying broomsticks. It seems science fiction, but can it be done? What about love potions. Could those also exist? Can something be ingested to change neurotransmitters and give a love feeling. Since no one has thought about how they could work, I am going to imagine how […]
Extremely early this morning, I went on a journey to a movie theater in Westwood to watch Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince. It was a cold, dark night when we arrived. The line was so long that we had to sit on the sidewalk about a block away. As we anxiously waited […]
Today, we experimented with two scientific phenomena that blew my mind away. The ferrofluid is a magnetic liquid that spikes up when interacted with a magnet due to differing magnetic polarities. After seeing a video of this process, I found myself extremely excited to be able to partake in this same process. As my […]
Last night we went down into Westwood to see the midnight showing of Harry Potter and the half-blood prince. The first thing we noticed was the massive line wrapping two blocks. Everyone went into the movie expecting to see everything from the book on the big screen. For this reason most people came out disappointed […]
After months of anticipation and countdowns, I finally got to see Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. Did it leave out a lot from the book? Yes (they didn’t even include the end battle scene between Harry and Professor Snape!). But even so, I’m so happy the movie is finally out. Throughout the movie, I […]
Woo! Today we have light! and… Artsy stuff. Hm Light and color and all these cool old deceased grey haired people. While we were getting lectured in the definition of light and color, particle theories and electromagnetic fields, i thought about color blindness. How that actually work? All I know is that people are not […]
As perhaps the most well-known and beloved fantasy novels and movies of all time, the Harry Potter series has become everything from a phenomenon to a movement to a legend in itself. Although the series’ charm is composed of a variety of its different quirks and characteristics, the greatest single draw of Harry Potter undeniably comes from its deeply […]
Tuesday night, or more like Wednesday way early morning was a night that I’ve been looking forward to for a very long time: Opening night of Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince. It was heart-wrenching to hear Snape utter the “Avada Kedavra” killing curse to Dumbledore, as one of my heroes was brutally slain. […]
Wait, what about Harry Potter? Unfortunately, I was to sick to attend the midnight showing of this film. I wish I could have gone, but life must go on. The lecture Ron gave today was very interesting. In the midst of my viral suffering, I was extremely interested of how Aspirin came to be and […]
Hands on! Finally! My group had the best ferroliquid by far. It worked great and had large spikes with one magnet, but when we combined six or seven it was even better. I found the idea of making a liquid that can be pulled by a magnet interesing because it is so unlike any other […]
