  • To Prof. Stephen Hawking

    I am committing this moment to memory.

  • Earth, #3

    Well, since bits of it have already shown up in postcards that I send, I thought I might as well expand it into a doggerel.

    I really want to change it and add a few commas, but good night for now.

    Not yet time for farewell,

         our tale I cannot foretell.

     

     

     

    Wreathed,
    my resolution,

         dreaming of words I’d spelt.

     

    Why can’t I speak?

         why do the words flee my mouth?

     

    “Please come,

         be by my side⋯”

     

     

    Silently,

    I screamed, wary;

     

     

    Unexpected,

    When I see you do,

         I breathe, fearless.

     

    Edit: In January 2018, I briefly visited UCLA Physics’s Galactic Center Group in person, and their work served as part of the inspiration of this piece. I used to play with Kepler 2-body systems for fun, and figured that they are fairly meaningful representations of relationships (they are not as complicated).

     

    Otherwise, let’s go for the old hashtag.

  • Directions

    I am still attempting to fit every academic desire into the schedule for next semester — last one at Berkeley, second last one as an undergraduate student: Quantum, Introductory Cosmology, GR, advanced mechanics, Stats mech, topology, complex analysis, cellular biology, music theory, existentialism, and perhaps a language, documentary filmmaking and theatre (thanks).

  • Here’s to the First Year of f-STEM

    Not that I intend to celebrate the passage of time too ‘often’, as I do to myself when alone, but happy Anniversary to ftdsci.  It’s been good staying here.
