Human heat

Imatge
We are in an interior room where natural light doesn’t come in. Generalization of electricity has meant that we solve this problem just by pressing a switch usually placed near the entrance that ignites an artificial source of light (i.e. a strip light). This source illuminates walls and objects contained in the room, and the same in all directions make this reflection, a fraction of reflected light reaching our eyes just allowing us to create an image of what surrounds us. But if we press the switch other time instantly becomes dark. The second action is natural because we daily experience proves this, but someone has stopped to think where the light go. It may seem a trivial question because if we turned off the light that is over, but it is not. Energy isn’t created nor destroyed, the room that we were hasn’t opening up so all the energy that enters the electrical wires trapped inside the room, yet we see the light disappears. Really this is absorbed by the walls, and it joins ...

I am just a poor boy Though my story's seldom told I have squandered my resistance For a pocket full of mumbles such are promises All lies and jests Still a man hears what he wants to hear And disregards the rest                                       The boxer (Simon & Garfunkel) This is a famous song by Simon & Garfunkel (1969) which tells the first person story of a pariah. This first verse summarizes what has been his life: a series of deceptions to exhaustion, but also acknowledges his guilt is to understand just what suited him. In the paper "Sometimes a nudge from the government is just not enough" ( 07/06/12 ) Lord Krebs asked even campaigns promoting environmental awareness and good habits like quitting smoking and not exceed the weight advisable, why not obtain the expected results. ...

The day after Tomorrow

Imatge
This is the title of a 2004 film that related about the sudden arrival of the fifth Quaternary glaciation. The film has the same rigor that 2012 film: none; but unlike 2012 where it exposed an improbable situation even with the entry conditions of film, the day after it presents a realistic situation and the probable events, while exaggerated developing the script and the plot is pathos. Like every movie has a happy ending entirely unrealistic because the reduction of a third of the area who have to live half of the 7,000 million inhabitants probably end up with a war for the remaining land (in this context Is it sure that Mexico will be able to contain 150 million evacuees at the border, as shown in the film, until you write off debt before wile evacuation is doing by second largest and technical army in the world? and why we do it extends to China Russia, UK, France, Japan ...). I don’t what to speak about the movie but the real possibility of a new ice age that would change in ...
