HearPeers Heroes Cara Mia Posted February 16, 2016 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted February 16, 2016 Oh, Hadron, sorry. Edited that my post already. Hope that my lapse sounded flattering for men' ears. Sorry May be I can call you LHC for short to avoid any indecency on this forum? I felt happy while reading about your path. If I could change something in my past.... I'd definitely look more at the night sky. Ok, need to learn how to manipulate Space-time continuum .

HearPeers Heroes Ivana Marinac Posted February 16, 2016 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted February 16, 2016 Ivana, before I worked in a scientific field. But it was so many years ago, so it isn't worth any mention. I do like my new profession with all challenges and tension it brings - it is just the right thing for me to communicate with different kinds of people (despite of my hearing problem), working on computer, displaying the reality in numbers, resolving problems on time..... Kind of having a competition with myself each day - always winner Thanks, Adam, I am doing really good. Very interesting to observe how your body deals with "CI intervention". Each day there is something new. But cannot complain. Excellent attitude Scientific field? interesting... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HearPeers Heroes Ivana Marinac Posted February 16, 2016 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted February 16, 2016 Cara, What did you call me? Check your spelling. As a young child I was infatuated by the night sky. During high school I volunteered at the Harvard Smithsonian Observatory and later attended the university for undergraduate studies. I am currently an experimental high energy physicist studying the behavior of the smallest forms of matter and it's interaction with energy and how gravity can be described in those terms. A young field called quantum gravity. Fascinating...! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HearPeers Heroes hadron Posted February 17, 2016 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted February 17, 2016 Cara, Completely forgiven. No problem.

HearPeers Heroes Cara Mia Posted February 17, 2016 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted February 17, 2016 Ok, my question for today - Did you know that beautiful story about Howard P. Robertson doubting Einstein doubting Gravitational waves? http://scitation.aip.org/content/aip/magazine/physicstoday/article/58/9/10.1063/1.2117822 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is good to see someone similar to their background whom finds my area of work interesting. Keep asking questions. I am a doc / but I am constantly fascinated with all kinds of jobs... Not kidding - just can find interesting aspects everywhere. Perhaps it is the influence of my experience where I have done many jobs until now.

HearPeers Heroes hadron Posted February 17, 2016 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted February 17, 2016 Robertson was a bright guy. He is well known to General Relativity (GR) and cosmology students because of the Robertson Walker Metric. A cosmological model which calculates the distance between two events in four dimensional curved spacetime. Yes a good story. I will add a little to it. Einstein and his colleague Rosen wrote a paper doubting gravity waves and sent it to Physical Review Journal for publishing. Now Einstein never had his papers anonymously reviewed like other submitters, his went straight to publishing. However with this paper the editor had a bad feeling about it and had it anonymously reviewed by Robertson whom was know for his detailed knowledge of GR. Robertson found a coordinate system error. The editor was scared to tell Einstein and instead told a friend of Einstein. The friend then told Einstein whom was furious his paper was reviewed and pulled it from Physical Review. A while later a similar paper was published by Einstein in a lesser known journal. This paper predicted gravity waves instead of doubting them. It also fixed the error uncovered by Robertson.

HearPeers Heroes Cara Mia Posted February 17, 2016 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted February 17, 2016 Absolutely fascinating for me, too….. in many aspects…. It is why, Hadron, I don’t understand people who think that science is something boring… Ok perhaps it is more correct to say it depend on observer’s perspective and thus quite relative But in this story we can see such an intensity of emotion, thoughts, and moral attitude even if everything else discussed in this article sounds as nonsense for us! Ivana, I am agree with you that we can find interesting aspects everywhere. Moreover, the science (the High science, too) is not limited by any walls. The docs deal with many aspects of it each day – people are such an electromagnetic creatures with complicated chemical determination. Modern medicine uses scientific knowledge (sometimes very advanced) to understand our body structure, functions and to treat people. Hopefully we can put GWs aside for a while in this context. But believe me that topic can affect a mental health of common folks a lot Even accounting based on the classic law of mass conservation – I mean the double-entry system. Thank both of you this conversation. Sorry, no more chatting for today – need to finish my work and take my puppy to a training class. And I have to control myself when discussing Creation J Ivana Marinac 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Adam Posted February 17, 2016 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted February 17, 2016 Hadron, I think your story proves the point that no matter how smart you are, how long you have been doing something. You never stop learning. Once you think you have learned all, this is not good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HearPeers Heroes Kara of Canada Posted February 23, 2016 Author HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted February 23, 2016 This a vent!! I can't stand it when my Drs. Offic called me and asks me to take down some information on paper. I have asked them 4-5 times for them to accommodate me as a deaf person and send me an email!! There response is we can't do that. Then I have to remind them of their stupidity and tell them about the accommodation again. Vent over!! Yes I have physically spoken with all three secretaries about it and they all agreed.
