String

The idea of gravity doesn't work in quantum world. That's very interesting, there's two different rules in the same world. I was confused by that notion.
This film is amazing, since I feel like I grasp the big picture of the universe. The universe is elegant and beautiful. We humans are just a small part of it.
If we can manage to truly understand string theory, it would be awesome because we understand everything in the universe. However, I personally don't think that we would comprehend it anytime soon. It might take years and years to simply prove the theory.
I am fascinated about strings, I want to know more about it. I hope in my life time I can comprehend the universe, yet I do know that is almost impossible.

Science: Aceleration down a frictionless incline

This project was meant to be a group project. Jae and I were on the same team. Overall, we worked well. In the beginning, we weren't motivated enough. However, when it came to the end, we worked arduously. From this expedition, we comprehended the first two newton's laws. If Mr. Loken used the tradition way of teaching, it would be dull. Nevertheless, he let us learn from doing experiments ourself. We discovered elements in science that we did not know before. We had some heavy math but we surmounted all the problems. I was glad that it was a success.
