I think you’ll find this song interesting. I apologize for their not being a video for this song, but I thought it fits the topic of entropy very well because just like entropy, this song is both weird and really exciting at the same time. Entropy is honestly, a really cool subject. I think it would be awesome to see an egg that has just fallen to the ground magically reform itself and no longer be broken, but we never get to see that, which is unfortunate. Considering the fact that we never see entropy flow in this manner, it seems a little weird to think about as an actual possibility. It seems more like fantasy or a fictional idea in my opinion. If someone were to witness this, I’m sure they would have a mental breakdown. They wouldn’t believe what they saw. That’s another way I would describe this song. It’s like a mental breakdown. All you here is a bunch of different birds chirping. If someone were to have these noises playing in their head for an entire day, they would surely go crazy.
Final Project (Song 5)
I chose the song Levels because I feel that when you give the correct perspective to this groovy tune, you can understand the laws of relativity that our good friend Albert Einstein came up with. I say this because I feel like there are different levels of relativity. That is why some people experience certain situations or times differently from others. Whether one person is driving in a car and another person is walking in the street, we are all experiencing different level of relativity. Depending on what level you are on, you may experience certain events faster or slower than another person, but considering the fact that we can’t get anywhere close to reaching the speed of light, for most people, their levels of relativity will be relatively close to each others. Also, I highly suggest watching this music video because it’s pretty funny watching this guy dance in his work office.
Final Project (Song 4)
I chose this song because it was a big hit on Disney channel when I was a young tike. The connection to Modern Physics Topics should be pretty obvious. The Jonas Brothers took a trip to the year 3000. This song is about time travel, a very modern topic in the world of physics. I know time travel isn’t necessarily possible, although we are constantly looking into the past because it takes time for light to bounce off of other objects and reach our eyes, but if it were possible, so many peoples’ ideals and morals would be changed. We could go back to the big bang, or even go see Jesus. I imagine the world becoming a way more religious place once we find out how it all started. I also feel like we’d have to stop people from going back in time and changing the past. That would be a huge problem. Now that I think about it, time travel probably should not be available to everyone.
Final Project (Song 3)
I chose this song for two reasons, and both of these reasons relate to the Quantum Universe, a topic we spent a lot of time on during the span of this course. Exactly how the Quantum Universe is a universe we can not see with the normal human eye, the ice cream man in the music video could not see who or what was messing with his truck, and when he observed who it actually was, he didn’t like the result that came from it. That is how I am with the quantum. I’ve never actually observed the quantum universe, but the whole idea that it all changes once I attempt to observe what is going on just blows my mind. It’s crazy, and that is the other reason I chose this song. It’s crazy and wild. This song blows my mind with how crazy it is, and the video is a little crazy as well.
Final Project (Song 2)
This was another one of my favorite shows to watch as a younger guy, and I still d0 watch it occasionally when I see it on the television. I think the clear and obvious message that this show teaches and is very well depicted in the theme song is the idea that you can do anything you put your mind to, even if it’s a little unheard of or strange. Phineas and Ferb would have been great students in Modern Physics topics because they are extremely creative and also know a solid amount of science, especially Ferb. They remind me a lot about the times when Mr. Kershenski would tell us to not be afraid to do things that haven’t been done before. Don’t be someone else. Have some individuality and be creative. Phineas and Ferb and Modern Physics Topics both teach us to be creative. Perhaps, when we get to college, we shouldn’t just major in the typical Business degree. Maybe we should lo0ok around and find something we never heard of but may love once we get into it.
Final Project (Song 1)
I chose this theme song because I watched this TV show all the time while I was growing up. Jimmy Neutron is a scientific genius, and he’s only in elementary school. I chose this theme song for two reasons. The first reason is creativity. One thing that Mr. Kershenski harped on all semester was to be creative, and I think that Jimmy Neutron embodies this sense of creativity because he always comes up with clever inventions that help him out whenever he may be in some trouble. The other reason I chose this song is because my favorite Jimmy Neutron episode of all time is depicted in the theme song. It’s the episode when the alien race abducts all of the earth’s parents. Besides this episode being my favorite, it also sparks questions in regards to one of the most interesting questions humans have about the entire world. Are there alien races? What would we do if we came in contact with one?
Fabric of the Cosmos (Chapter 6 Pt. 2)
This portion of chapter six really just solidified the knowledge discussed in the latter blog. In this section entropy was discussed into more depth. Brian Greene tells us that entropy can work in both ways of time. Things could start at low entropy and grow to high entropy, like the second law of thermodynamics suggests, in both the forward and reverse directions of time, and they can do so without contradicting any of the realities that have occurred. An example of this is an ice cube. It can go from low entropy to high entropy while melting, and it can go from low entropy to high entropy while reforming from water to ice. It seems contradicting, but supposedly, it isn’t. Today’s fun fact is that a black hole has the highest entropy out of any even in the universe due t0o all of the insane amounts of pressure and gravity within a black hole. So, if you ever want top experience some high entropy, just get sucked into a black hole, and you’ll pick up the knowledge I’ve been putting down.
Fabric of the Cosmos (Chapter 6 Pt. 1)
This beginning portion of chapter six mainly focused on entropy and time reversal symmetry. Entropy is the measure of order and disorder. If a system can be changed and you can recognize the change, that system was of very low entropy or was very ordered. When a system can be changed and you can’t notice it, the system was of very big entropy or was very disordered. That stuff wis pretty understandable and not that interesting. The topic I would like to discuss is time reversal symmetry. We don’t get to see this a lot. In fact, I don’t know if it has ever happened, which is very unfortunate for us. It would be awesome if we were able to see an egg reform after it has just fallen off of a table and broke. The fact that we don’t see this very often allows us to put a direction on time like I discussed previously in my blog on chapter five. The world would be much more interesting if this occurred on a regular basis.
Fabric of the Cosmos (Chapter 4 Pt. 4)
The last secti0n of this chapter began wrapping up and proving why everything quantum is true. Although the quantum is a very weird subject that I still struggle with, I just have to accept it for what it is. I guess I don’t really need to understand it since I can’t really see the quantum universe anyway. All I need to know is that two things can be separated by an enormous amount of space and not necessarily have independent existences. Another thing to think about is the theory that the moon actually isn’t there when people aren’t observing it. This theory fits the quantum universe very well because there’s no way to prove that this theory isn’t true. How are you supposed to prove this theory wrong without observing it in anyway? The frustration you may get from thinking about this theory is the same frustration I get when thinking about anything quantum. My suggestion is to not think about it too much and just know.
Fabric of the Cosmos (Chapter 4 Pt. 3)
This section of the chapter discusses how a very prominent scientist struggled with the quantum, just as I did, and tried to refute everything that was said to be Quantum. Albert Einstein did not agree with Quantum physics. He, too, thought it was preposterous to think that everything was entangled, that electrons had minds of there own, and that we can not observe this quantum universe without disturbing it and getting different results. One way he tried to refute the co0ncept of not being able to observe molecules without disturbing them is by using another particle that originated from the same spot as another. If both molecules started in the same spot, He could measure the speed, spin, and position of the other particle and be able to determine the speed, spin, and position of the other. I would agree with this, but Einstein’s theory was refuted by the quantum scientists. That’s probably the first time I’ve ever heard of one of his theories being proved wrong.
