Meet “Walter”, “The Dude” and “Donny” … guys/pictures now decorating our hallway, inspired by/stolen from Thierry Noir.
He painted his “Mauer-Eierköpfe” (Berlin Wall Egg-Heads) on the Berlin wall starting 1990, I painted our’s this weekend ;-).
These were still not the last frames to be filled in our “new” flat …
Not much happening these days…
But for some reason I am coughing out my lungs these days!
So you have to be patient… ;-)
I just returned from the 39th German Autumn School for High Energy Physics Maria Laach.
Maria Laach is a monastery in western Germany located in the caldera of an old vulcano.
Covering lectures from cool to reasonable good, from detetor physics to extra dimensions as well as exercises on Feynman diagrams and group talks.
For physicists: One of the guys doing all that elektroweak radiative-corrections stuff I used in my master thesis (Uli Baur) was there and also one of the heads in extra dimension theories (Nima Arkani-Hamed)… both with cool lectures!
Another post about a book… which is unfortunately a German-only book again!
Its about a guy who never really got into his life facing the German bureaucracy… ;-)
Short novel thats fun to read!
Please don’t be shocked, but yes this is arleady the second post about a book in kind a short time (at least for normal Sascha-like behaviour)…
The Encyclopedia of the Unknowingness, unfortunately only available in German (“Lexikon des Unwissens”) so far, tries to describe several of today’s unsolved miracles.
It gives an introduction to subjects like the lifecycle of eels, dark matter, yawning, ball-lightnings, the functionality of sticky tape, the Riemann hypothesis, and many more…
A bit too many “funny” comments in my opinion though… otherwise very interesting!
