Probabil nici nu are rost sa scriu despre acest subiect. Sa scrii despre politica si sa iti dai cu parerea este probabil cel mai raspandit in toate mediile de asa-zisa “informare”. Si cum totusi in momentul asta nu am ceva mai bun de facut…hai sa o fac si pe asta.

In 30 noiembrie romanii au fost la vot. Unii din ei ! Eu personal nu m-am obosit ! Consider ca efortul depus precum si timpul unui astfel de gest este prea mare pentru valoarea reala pe care o are votul introdus de mine in urna. Si…peste 2 saptamani, aveam sa imi dau singur dreptate. Unii acuma sar si striga: nu votezi nu existi ! Ha…ha…ha ! Da ce ? Voi aveti impresia ca va descurcati mai bine la capitolul acesta ? Credeti ca daca v-ati obosit sa votati sunteti mai importanti ? Ati cladit viitorul tarii ? Ma refeream la cei care totusi au fost la vot. Sunt convins ca cei mai multi solidarizeaza cu mine.

Bun. Nu am mers la vot. Ma repugna orice inseamna politica.

S-o luam pe concret. Au participat cateva partide la uninominalele din 30 noiembrie din care s-au evidentiat 4 partide, restul netrecand pragul electoral de 5% : Alianta PSD+PC = 33.99%, PD-L = 33.79%, PNL =18.49% si UDMR = 6.54 %.

Remarcam o maturitate totusi in randul electoratului roman de la Revolutia din 1989 incoace mai ales. Mai recent au ramas 4 partide din 6 existente la scrutinul precedent(2004). Au disparut practic PRM si PNG care nu aveau oricum ce cauta intr-un stat modern democratic.

Ceea ce urmeaza insa este ceva interesant. Ca sa faca majoritate parlamentara si sa formeze si guvern trebuie sa treaca de pragul de 50 %. Si cum sa faci majoritate parlamentara cu 33 % de fiecare partid, PNL cu ceva mai putin, decat sa se alieze doua dintre ele ?

PSD+PC se stie clar ca e partid de centru stanga, iar PD-L si PNL sunt de centru dreapta. Logic ar fi fost sa faca ultimele 2 coalitie si sa fie PSD+PC in opozitie…dar…se intampla ceea ce nu poti nici sa concepi : se aliaza 2 partide cu concepte si viziuni diferite, repsectiv PD-L care e de dreapta cu PSD+PC care e de stanga.

Adica cum mai frate ? Eu astazi is de dreapta si maine is de stanga ? Sau cum e cealalta eu is de stanga si merg pe dreapta ? Numai asa peste noapte ? Este una sa ocolesti o masina in depasire si sa mergi pe banda din stanga, si apoi sa revii pe banda dreapta, dar aici e vorba de concepte si convingeri politice nu de filozofia traversarii drumului sau a depasirii unei alte masini.

Stai si te gandesti cate pot sa se faca in lumea asta, in tara asta numai ca sa ramai acolo sus. Sa fii tu la conducere sa fii tu in lumina reflectoarelor si sa tii toate sforile.

Nu mai discutam de manevrele politice care se fac ca sa ajungi acolo sus, cum sa investesti premieri (Stolojan) si apoi sa pui pe altii, masinarii si aranjamente chibzuite cu luni sau ani de zile inainte.

Principii, valori, constiinta nu exista acolo sus ! … din pacate

As I have a hobby about resolving enigmas, logical problems and stuffs like these, I took all the 5 parts of
Mensa Tests and I put them into a single excel file.

I attached 2 files: one is the Mensa Intelligence Test in english and the other is the
Mensa Intelligence test translated into romanian.

You are free to download and resolve them. I did some modifications to the romanian translated one to better correspond to romanian culture.

The responses to the english test you can find them on the web, and to the romanian part I will publish them a little later.

I will also publish some other interesting problems which I played when I was a teenager but which makes you to deeply think to be able to resolve them.

Good luck and enjoy.

Omul traieste intr-o continua maree de emotii, sentimente, senzatii care sunt produse de impactul evenimentelor din viata lui asupra creierului. Adica de fapt emotiile nu sunt altceva decat niste reactii ale creierului care apar in momentul in care creierul rationeaza in legatura cu un anume eveniment. Daca evenimentul te priveste direct si este ceva caruia tu ii dai importanta, ca de exemplu absolvirea facultatii, un mare succes profesional sau din alte domenii care conteaza pentru tine, tu vei resimti intens sentimente pozitive si emotii provocate de centrii nervosi ai creierului. Pentru scurt timp te simti fericit, de fapt creierul este stimulat pozitiv si emana niste substante care induc o stare de bine. Creierul este de asemenea stimulat si simtim ca parca tot ne merge bine. Toata lumea este a noastra. Din pacate nu este un efect de lunga durata, efectul se atenueaza in timp in functie de intensitatea lui.

Din contra, un esec personal sau o veste trista privind o persoana importanta pentru tine provoaca o sentimente si emotii negative ducand la o inhibare a activitatii creierului. La aflarea unei vesti triste creierul se protejeaza si intra intr-un fel protectie. Aceasta se intampla tocmai pentru a-si proteja functionarea si a nu suferi distrugeri ale celulelor neuronale. Este cunoscut faptul ca un sentiment puternic negativ produs de creier solicita foarte mult centrii neuronali aferenti ducand in unele cazuri la distrugerea multor celule neuronale. Senzatiile aferente sunt distrugatoare pentru noi. Simtim ca lumea s-a sfarsit, ca nu mai exista nici o scapare. Uneori creierul intra intr-un blocaj , si in acele momente nu mai accepta nici o informatie exterioara pentru a se autoproteja.

Exista insa o solutie pentru evenimentele cu aspect negativ din viata noastra si raspunsul vine tot de la creier si la modul nostru de gandire. De fapt orice eveniment are exact aspectul si intensitatea pe care i-o dam noi. Putem sa ii atenuam resimtirea negativa printr-un rationament adecvat din cauza ca de fapt gandurile primare asociate acelui eveniment genereaza sentimente si nu invers. Sentimentele sunt generate de constientizarea evenimentului si de realizarea impactului in prima faza asupra noastra, iar apoi aceste sentimente creeaza o alta maree de ganduri secundare in cascada. Si sunt aceste ganduri secundare care ne dau de furca si care ne induc o stare profund negativa. Daca noi reusim sa constientizam de la inceput si sa ii atribuim o valoare mai mica evenimentului petrecut in viata noastra, adica sa ii minimalizam importanta atunci sentimentele nu vor avea intensitate asa de mare, iar mareea de ganduri secundare va fi mult mult redusa.

Aceasta este cheia succesului in viata pentru ca orice om are de-a lungului timpului multe multe esecuri si mult mai putine succese. Cei puternici si invigatori sunt cei care reusesc sa atenueze importanta esecurilor din viata lor si sa puna accent pe succesele care vin. Un om nu poate trai numai din succese, nici nu exista oameni care au numai succese. Toti oamenii de succes pe care ii vedem in media, sunt oameni care au reusit cu brio sa treaca de esecuri intr-o mai mica sau mai mare masura. Dupa multe esecuri este evident, vor veni si succesele. Pe acestea trebuie sa le gustam la adevarata lor valoare.

In concluzie, orice eveniment are exact valoarea pe care i-o atribuim exact in faza lui primordiala. Daca aceasta este benefic putem sa il exploatam si sa ne bucuram de sentimentele pozitive generate in urma lui. Daca el are tenta negativa, trebuie sa ii minimalizam importanta si sa evitam ca intensitatea lui sa fie mare, iar gandurile secundare sa ne copleseasca si sa intram intr-un cerc vicios.
Totul este simplu. Depinde de noi in ce masura reusim sau nu sa facem acest lucru.

Articol scris de mine, inspirat fiind de Pavel Corut

“Admir-o pe Teodora, model la numai 17 ani”.

“Anca vrea sa ajunga pe sticla. Are 20 de ani”.

“X-leasca si-a facut implant de silicon”.

“Y-leasca a facut sex in nu stiu ce pozitie in masina, in fata politiei.

“Z-leasca are o relatie extraconjugala cu nu stiu ce individ”.

Si lista de anunturi din mass media continua la nesfarsit.

Radio-ul, televiziunea, presa, oamenii toti vorbesc in mare despre acelasi lucru.

Sunt frumoase femeile si trebuie admirate. Si nu pierd ocazia sa admir o femeie frumoasa.

Oricarui barbat ii place o femeie frumoasa si toti le admiram. Dar de aici pana la a nu face alt lucru este o cale de strabatut.

Stai de vorba cu oamenii, la unele discutii si printre vorbe mai auzi pe unul altul zicand: “Vine tipa aia. Vai ce buna ii. Vai ce dotari are. Cred ca o poti invarti de numa”

Te intorci dincolo. Iarasi. Aceleasi discutii. La nesfarsit. Parca tot ce exista in lumea asta e numai sex. Constati usor ca tot ce conteaza pentru majoritatea e numai sexul. Incredibil dar chiar peste tot se vorbeste de sex ?

Simt o repulsie si o indignare in sinea mea. Toti discuta numai despre asta. Ba unii se si lauda cu performantele pe care le au in domeniu si cu cate partide de sex au avut ei, si in ce circumstante.

E adevarat ca fara actul sexual reproductiv oamenii nu isi perpetueaza specia dar de aici pana la a discuta aproape exclusiv de sex, si in a fi efectiv obsedat de aceasta notiune este cale lunga si detona multe lucruri.

Astfel, iti dai seama ca oamenii sunt efectiv posedati de sex, si sunt frustrati de aces lucru. Din punct de vedere psihologic nu poti sa te gandesti aproape exclusiv la ceva decat daca acel lucru nu te macina pe dinauntru, de fapt tu incerci sa iti eliberezi tensiunea interioara expunandu-ti gandurile.

Tumultul omului e tot mai mare legat de sex. Instinctul de reproducere si nevoia fiziologica se leaga de sex si implicit omul depinde de sex pentru a-si prelungi existenta, dand nastere la copii. Dar din pacate, viziunea lui este extrem de limitata, de cele mai multe ori denota o obsesie exacerbata pana acolo incat il macina in interior. Iar daca aceasta se produce in sanul unui reporter, care scrie un articol, el va fi citit de foarte multi, cei mai influentabili, primind rapid ideea.

De fapt sexul este ceva atat de banal, incat nici nu ar trebui discutat despre el. De ce oamenii nu discuta tot timpul despre cum isi beau cafeaua, cum isi prepara micul dejun, sau cum fac alte lucruri banale ? Dar faptul ca ei discuta in acesti termeni te lasa sa crezi ca exista intr-adevar o problema, o frustrare. Si daca stai sa cercetezi iti dai seama ca aceasta este chiar foarte mare. Preocuparea lor ramane la acest stadiu, pentru ca in momentul in care nu exista o educatie corespunzatoare, nu exista nici minte care sa judece si sa analizeze. Si atunci intervin instinctele primare.

Da, actul sexual este o binecuvantare si in acele momente reusim parca sa ne despindem de pamant si sa traim in alta dimensiune. Dar mi se pare absurd sa fii continuu obsedat de acest lucru. Placerea fizica nu este singurul lucru care conteaza pe lumea aceasta. Iar fericirea adevarata nu vine din trairea cat mai intensa a actului fizic sexual. Este ceva cu care suntem binecuvantati. Dar el nu trebuie nicidecum sa inlocuiasca placerea realizarii unor experiente de natura spirituala. Si nu ma refer la lucruri oculte. Nici macar religioase. Omul nu este construit numai din trup, ci trupul lui este doar baza sau fundatia omului. Si atunci nici placerea nu poate fi numai fizica.

Consider ca placerile omului pot fi mult mai intense si mai de durata daca ele sunt traite la nivel spiritual. Dar cum poti sa ajungi aici daca nu iti cultivi spiritul ? Cum poti sa ajungi la un nivel mai decent daca nu faci nimic pentru asta si te complaci la acest nivel al instinctelor si al placerilor fizice ?

Faptul ca omul discuta despre sex este un indicator al neputintei sale, al unei obsesii continue si al unui stadiu incipient de dezvoltare psihica si intelectuala.

Pacat!

Bonjour de nouveau ! Je parle de nouveau francais car je suis en Angouleme.

I am again in France, in a delegation. I found the same town, the same people. Almost nothing is changed. Maybe the season is changed. Earlier I was in the spring and now I’m in autumn.

I have the strange sensation that I know this town from many years, even if I knew from this year. I see the people and all have similar faces, they look very familiar to me. And I can’t say that I know them. Because the town it’s having about 50.000 people. It’s like the the town is frozen, and I returned after much much time.

Even the France, his beauty doesn’t seem so beautiful in my eyes. But it’s my perception. Maybe I lost my enthusiasm. It’s of course my personal view which became more familiar with this country and town. But it’s not that I see them very familiar, I mean places, people, habits. It’s because of the intensity of the feeling and the fact that is maybe too strong compared to the period which I lived previously here (not more than 3 weeks). Now I’m looking at me and I’m saying : maybe I am changed, maybe I see differently the things, maybe I have other perception. That’s because I became older, and more reflective to the things that I see around me.

In fact it’s the same France, there are the same people, same villages and towns and same habits. It’s me who changed. I feel now that as I become more experienced in life, let’s not say that I become older because I don’t really like the idea, I get more and more sophisticated in my thoughts and my judgement . It’s a natural consequence of the process of learning. But I am surprised because this is so obvious.

The thing is that I am no more impressed by France, by the advantage of civilization, culture and infrastructure compared to Romania. This is another aspect. Of course the difference is considerable but it can be lowered. I am no more shamed that I am romanian, in fact I believe that Romania has a great potential. In fact what I have to do with the stupids, the ones that are do anything in the world but not to work. And I am not more impressed by anything. Because nothing is absolute.

I think that in a few years we will see an interesting phenomenon of evolution of Romania, because people are working hard to survive and gain their existence. Because they have things to do, because they have a reason to live for. I mean have a family, have a house or a car. And my perception in this is that here in France but even elsewhere in the reach countries the struggle is not so intense and the people are loosing their purpose in life. They live just because they live, a boring life without a special purpose because they are not pressed by material matters. They are gaining well their lives and life is passing very smoothly for them. So they are not mobilized to gain their existence, their lives. And when you are not mobilized, you are almost sleeping. You are at a low speed. But in Romania it’s not the case, because people are working hard to survive and they are coming fast from the rear.

Anyway, I hope that this will really happen because it’s the natural way that the a little poor countries advance and reach the developed countries.

Schrodinger equation

My opinion regarding physics is that it is used too much mathematics. Physics is of course based on mathematical precision, equations and calculus, but physicists often forget to think in terms of the physics, and not mathematics.
But when quantum mechanics intervene it’s impossible to not think the physics in terms of mathematics, because quantum mechanics it’s all about probability. Concepts are so strange to human daily life that without mathematics you are completely lost. But you also must think conceptual in physics, respecting also mathematical results.

To be able to maintain rhythm with the physics, most theoretical physicists now think in terms of pure analytical results, mathematical analysis and experimental results. It’s in a way natural, but to be able to see really the things you must also conceptualize things. Because otherwise you are lost in equation and theoretical analytical results.

That’s why I think that Large Hadron Colider from CERN will not find Higgs Boson. Because Higgs it’s a concept restraint only to the Standard Model, which regards only the world of particles.
Yes, of course Electroweak Unification is a great step in the evolution of physics, but it’s only the beginning of a new revolution. Things are much much complicated that Standard Model hopes to resolve by finding Higgs Boson at CERN.

To be able to explore the world of particles you must understand first the relationship between theory of relativity and the quantum mechanics.
Things are already very complicated when we are talking of relativity and quantum mechanics, but to pursuit with advance with physics we must unify these two aspects first. Higgs will not at all resolve the problems of relativity, even if could resolve some problems of Standard Model.

In my opinion Standard Model is just a very limited point of view of quantum mechanics that we see today. And Higgs Boson it will not show up, because it doesn’t exist.

We need a more clear view, a more larger view of all the physics that we know today. And the next step is to understand the liaison between general relativity and quantum mechanics.

C.E.R.N. (European Organization for Nuclear Research, Centre Européene de Recherche Nucleaire on français) is one of the most advanced research facilities from the world which is investigating this small world. Scientists are hoping to recreate the conditions of Big Bang and study particles to understand our world.

Particles are accelerated to high energies and then are collided in an magnetic field, or what it is called a detector. High speed of about 99,999 % from the speed of light can be reached at this level.

The LHC - Large Hadron Collider is the ultimate synchrotron accelerator which permits accelerate particles (protons in our case) to an energy of 7 TeV. It has 27 km in circumference, circular shape and is buried 100 meters beneath the surface (91 meters in some areas).

ATLAS (A Toroidal LHC Apparatus)  has 46 meters long and 25 meters in diameter, and has a weight about 7,000 tonnes.

I visited ATLAS in June 2006, and I made some photos that I present you here (some of them). We descended 100 m beneath to see one of the most advanced detectors from the world. I was very impressed by the dimensions of the structure and the amount of effort and technology invested in this huge detectors.

The adventure of ATLAS will begin on Wednesday and will search for the famous Higgs Boson, which is one of the biggest particles and the missing part from the Standard Model from physics.

I am inpatient to see the results of the experiments from CERN, particle physics is one of my passions and I consider that if we can technologically advance is because the new discoveries  made in the domain of quantum mechanics and particle physics.

Higgs Boson is of course one of the mysteries of modern physics. I personally believe that it will not show up. In theory of Standard Model Higgs Boson represent the origin of mass, in other words, the mass of particles is due to Higgs Boson. But the energy of Higgs Boson is so big (it is considered to be in the order of TeV) that it is needed a very powerful accelerator to be found. This is why LHC was constructed and his principal goal is to find this elusive particle. But if the Higgs Boson is out of the range, it can be also missed.

Detectors serve as what the name is saying, as detectors. After particles are accelerated through the magnetic tunnel where they get the energy and the velocity, they are oriented in a detector, and crashed. In a particle experiment, if you smash for example protons with anti-protons will result a pleiade of particles and their weight and energy depend by the power and energy received from the accelerator. Accelerator is a very powerful microscope which operates beyond the limits of well known electronic microscopes.

sunt ceea ce sunt, iar suma intamplarilor din viata mea ma reprezinta…

desi aparentele inseala, lumea in general se bazeaza pe aparente…

ochii vad, inima cere, dar ce te faci atunci cand iti cer imposibilul ? dar imposibil nu exista. Exista doar probabilitate extrem de redusa.

cum ai putea totusi stapani fiinta ?

oamenii traiesc intr-o completa uitare de sine, faptul ca tu ii scoti din lumea lor nu ii ajuta cu nimic, poate ca te vor acuza ca ai facut-o.

statistic vorbind, mii de oameni se nasc si mor in fiecare ora pe Terra, oare cati din cei nascuti o sa ajunga sa influenteze cu adevarat aceasta lume prin contributia lor ?

filozofia nu e buna, in cantitate prea mare, dar lipsa ei aduce cu sine robotizarea fiintei.

incerc (prea mult) sa deslusesc ceva in tot amalgamul care exista in lume. imi dau seama ca in afara de mine nimeni nu mai pune pret pe asta. oare n-am ceva mai bun de facut ?

am devenit o fiinte hiper-rationala, sa fie acesta un esec al trairilor sufletesti ?

simt in mine o putere incredibila, vine dinauntru si apare de fiecare data cand ceva greu se iveste in cale, aceasta imi lumineaza calea si ma indruma sa merg mai departe.

bine si rau nu exista, exista doar o standardizare si o categorisire a acestora in functie de scara aleasa.

cand zici ca totul e relativ, te referi la absolut tot ? dar daca tot e relativ, nimic nu e absolut ?

niciodata sa nu spui niciodata, pentru ca exista intotdeauna probabilitatea (chiar infinit de mica), si in plus s-ar putea sa te coste.

incerc sa dau un sens vietii mele, toti incercam asta, dar de fapt viata noastra in sine nu are nici un sens. suntem prea mici si prea insuficienti ca sa reusim sa intelegem cu adevarat lucruri complexe.

iar cand consideri ca dai un sens vietii tale, cunoscand iubirea, dand nastere unui copil, de fapt traiesti doar o parte a realitatii vietii, o mica parte insignifianta, dar care iti apare ca fericita.

nimic nu dureaza, totul se transforma, lumea este o impermanenta. clipa de acum se duce, nu va mai veni niciodata. asa ca mai bine traieste-o.

viata e frumoasa, doar pentru unii, pentru cei care traiesc mai putin din ea.

de fapt omul lupta chiar impotriva haosului, impotriva entropiei si omogenitatii tot timpul, uita ca toate se intorc in final in haos, tot ce creaza ii este luat inapoi. si apoi de ce sa ne mai petrecem timpul luptand ? pentru ca insasi viata reprezinta o continua lupta.

ne credem fiinte inteligente, dar exista in Univers fiinte atat de inteligente incat noi parem pentru ele doar un simplu gandac de bucatarie. si atunci ce sa poata obtine de la noi ?

suntem insuficient evoluati inca, din cauza ca nu respectam suficient fiinta umana, pentru ca ne batem joc de ea la tot pasul si cu fiecare ocazie intalnita.

oamenii sufera, unii de foame, altii de boli, iar altii din cauza dragostei. macar pe primii daca i-am putea scuti de suferinta.

exista lucruri pe care nu le poti schimba orice ai face, orice efort este inutil. in cazul acesta lasa-le asa cum sunt indiferent de starea lor deplorabila.

sa fii un inteligent intre prosti nu e bine, te-ar ajuta mai mult sa fii si tu ca ei, te-ar scuti de foarte multe.

atunci cand nu mai poti indura si suporta un anumit lucru, incepi sa devii ignorant referitor la el, lumea in general se autoignora.

complexitatea vietii ne da de furca in fiecare zi, creierul uman nu e pregatit sa faca fata atator cerinte zilnice, moment in care devine selectiv cu informatia necesara individului. asa apar de cele mai multe ori lacune individuale, fie de comportament, fie de cunostinte, fie emotionale pe care le observam cu prilejul altor contacte.

tot ce ne ramane din toate aceastea, este optimismul si speranta, ca o calauza intre miliardele de lucruri, emotii si trairi care interactioneaza cu fiinta.

arrivederci

Billions of year of continuous evolution structure matter and energy in living forms, life. Life evolves in time gaining more and more intelligence. Until it is born a creature enough intelligent to be able to have proper consciousness. But how this is possible ? How it’s possible to evolve this Universe by its own ? How it’s possible to give birth to life ?

Men keeps wondering about the Origins of the Universe, his Evolution, his Existence.

First came the theory of creation in which there is a God who created Universe and all the living forms. It’s a simplified theory in which man recognize his limitations of knowledge, intelligence, power proved across the history of the human kind. But this theory has many flows. There are many fundamental contradictions and it is against human rational. Known principles are broken. First, to exist a God you must give him absolute power and perfection to be able to create the entire Universe and things which are less powerful than Him. But creating less powerful and imperfect things this means that the Universe is not evolving, it is degrading. And it’s against human observation : the fact that the Universe is evolving. Also, if God is perfect He can’t evolve, because He doesn’t need to. He is perfect. He can’t degrade. And finally if we suppose that he just rests perfect, this means that He doesn’t do anything, He is just resting, He is static. But this isn’t also possible because a static Universe can’t exist. Also, If God created the Universe, where did he lived before ? In other Universe ? If He creates our Universe, He just can’t exist in Our Universe.

By sustaining a theory in which there is a perfect God who creates everything you contradict every single observation. You negate your life and you as a rational human. Because you unknowingly sustain a contradiction to the observation and you sustain a degradation of the Universe.

There is the second theory. In which there was the Big Bang in which Universe was born by a space-time singularity who exploded and gave all the energy and matter. The Universe expanded and grew to what we know today. Matter begun to organize in particles, atoms, molecules, macromolecules, organic molecules, and finally life forms. This theory is incomplete and is adjusted every year when new discoveries are made through very large telescopes or particle accelerators. But it’s a sustainable theory. It’s having many missing parts, parts that have to be found, pieces that have to be matched with the rest.

The theory simply sustains that the Universe is in a continuous evolution which harmonize with our observations. But why Universe is evolving ?

We wouldn’t be there if Universe degraded. We, humans couln’t exist at this time. This question doesn’t have an answer, for the moment.

Science is the tool which helps us finding our paths, our needs, help us understanding us, organize us. Science is our light who enlighten our way. The rest are just speculations.
