Maybe I am not very interest in mathematic, but I truly like physics. Learning physics can make me keep thinking and consider something other than how to make life. Obviously, art and physics are different in some aspect. Art interprets the visible world, physics chartsits unseen workings. Now I have to say that physicists are the artists in the level of rationality. They use the most accurate and creative ways to reveal secrets of the nature one by one, presenting us the most artistic masterpieces that we can ever imagine. Although we are small, life is what we make it, so we are trying to make it beautiful. When I think about physics, I am not aware of thinking about life. But physics itself is something that we call life. Physics is definitely a charming subject, but I think it’s better for me continue to be a beginner, instead of get in the door and being abused for my pool IQ. =L= Through the study, not only can I learn about some knowledge about the universe, light, atom and so forth from the view of physics, but also we obtain perceptions to get close to nature and beauty further in another way through the video. I really appreciate what he did. It always takes courage to give up what you should have for more people to have a better life. To the universe we human beings are really dust I wander if astronomers are bigger at heart cause the experience of observing the universe seems to broaden their minds. Though I studied sciences in middle school but now I study arts. There is no exclusive answer in arts. On the contrary sciences just have the only answer. So it takes me some t imes to adjust to the defference. The rational mindset with somewhat emotional feelings of the professor is what attract s and influences me most. What precious is not his contribution but his love of life. So we don’t have to feel negligible about ourselves because we are also a part of the universe. After the movie, I have learned that the time when someone devotes his heart to something is the most charming. I need to learn hard and work hard. In our daily life, we will experience a lot, maybe some interference your minds, so it is very important for us to tell ourselves, what is right, and what is wrong, and even what you must to do, something you must not to do, and do not follow like sheep. Besides, in today’s society, female are still in the state of vulnerable groups, if we want to change the terms of the situation, knowledge perhaps is the best way, because we are equal before the knowledge. From my own perspective, as members of the young generation, we are all under the obligation to give more considerations to the universe and ponder deeply over the ultimate source of our life. The past few years have witnessed our society developed rapidly and also faced with the serious issue of the boom of the materialism. This is an impetuous era, is a lost era. In recent years there has been a growing concern among the general public over the issue of the modern man's inner emptiness. To account for the phenomenon, various reasons have been put forward, and there is no denying the ignorance of the universe can play an important part. The observation of the universe can evoke a yearning for a quiet life.
( For new reader and those who request 好友 请求 , please read my 公告 栏 first) The other late night, I watched again a 67 year old black-and-white movie on wide screen TV entitled “DEVOTION ( 魂牽夢 瑩 ) ”starring Ida Lupino, Oliver DeHavilland, and Paul Henried which I first saw in Shanghai in the Majestic theater ( 美琪大戲院 ) in 1947. The movie is a fictional biographical account of the 19 th century Bronte sisters who each wrote respectively and arguably the two greatest love novels in the English literature, Jane Eyre ( 簡愛 自 傳 ) and Wuthering Heights ( 咆哮山 莊 ). At that time, I was just 13 year old and beginning to take interest in the opposite sex and love stories. I thought the movie DEVOTION about un-requited love was the greatest movie I have seen and the tragic heroine, Emily Bronte played by Ida Lupino, was the most beautiful actress on the silver screen. More than half a century later, with the benefit of age and life experience, the movie of course appeared somewhat nave and out-dated in story-telling and in screen techniques. However, I still enjoyed watching it since it brought back memories of youth and bygone times. This brings up the subject of love stories in movies. While we all have our favorites, these few movies below that I enjoy watching over and over again through the years are: · RANDOMHARVEST (1947) 鴛夢重溫 starring Greer Garson and Ronald Coleman · AN AFFAIR TO REMEMBER (1957)*starring Deborah Kerr and Cary Grant · WHEN HARRY MEETS SALLY (1989) starring Meg Ryan and Billy Crystal · SLEEPLESS IN SEATTLE (1993) starring Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks (this movie could be entitled “An Affair to Remember II” since the plot involved heavily the 1957 movie) It is also interesting to observe the story lines of these movies which reflect the changing nature of love as prevailing at the times and yet eternal in the essence of love between a man and a woman. I am often inspired when watching these movies to want to kiss my wife of 54 years spontaneously and tell her“how lucky I was to have married her”. She will sometimes respond pragmatically and less romantically “I love you too. Now go back to watch that old movie since I have work to do” It is also interesting that no love movie of the last 20 years readily comes to my mind not because there were no great movie on the subject but probably because of my changing taste and life experiences. Real life love stories are not like movies. They involve 24/7/365 disagreements, compromises, hardships, and of course happiness and bliss. Love between old partners is different from idealistic young couples unmindful of the future. With the benefit of hindsight, our bonds are more relaxed yet enduring with understated intensity**.My blog article in 2008 approximates my feelings http://blog.sciencenet.cn/blog-1565-15663.html and http://blog.sciencenet.cn/blog-1565-15979.html . Our best wishes to all lovers, young and old! *My apologies for not knowing the Chinese titles of these movies below after 1950.Perhaps some ScienceNet reader can supply them. **Note added 7/3/2013. I am also reminded of the award winning TV-movie of the title LOVE AMONG THE RUINS starring Laurence Oliver and Kathleen Hepburn http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Love_Among_the_Ruins and other references about love between old couple.
