Day 5. July 13th.

Shapes define our world…

I had not really bothered to pay attention to all the shapes that are around defining what we call nature. Most amazingly the shapes can be found in our own solar system. Our simples living organism, an atom, looks just like the planets rotating around.

What interested me the most was the shape defined by music. Of course we have all seen the Itunes vizualizer where the little dots move around trying to keep up with the music. But what Rita and Gau showed us, left me in awe.

Interpreting music itself is an art, now having the frequency of the song itself change the shape of something else. That is just amazing.  I am currently in my bed typing away. I woke up early for some random reason so i decided to blog. I see shapes on my ceiling. The light thing is a rectangle filled with little diamonds and the such.  My computer is a box filled with potential.

Now to completely change the topic….

PLASMA!! Okay everyone was extremely amazed at the lab. I was just like eh since i spend a lot of time there doing some research with Walter and other high school students. What makes this lab so amazing to me that keeps me coming back each week for more? No idea there is always something new to do. First day I went they were testing the Langmeir Probe. A couple weeks later they are building another one. Now it is the whistler Wave probe. There is so many undiscovered mysteries in plasma that always leaves me wanting to know more.
