MoreGood Intention, Bad Decision
How many times that your own logic backfires? Just like when you try to fit a round ball into a square mould. It just won’t fit and you get frustrated. Consider this from Dr Wayne Dyer, “often we see the world as it is, but actually we see the world the way we are.” How […]

The Spanish will be […]

The Western culture tolerates […]

MoreThe Higgs Boson
I’ve left physic as a subject many years ago, but my love of the related knowledge remains. I remember one formula that I never fail to answer in every exam which is to calculate Velocity (v) or Speed. You can do it by dividing Distance Travel (m) with Time of Travel (t). The formula will […]
