IMO There is nothing like drawing: simply a pencil on paper allows one to literally release imagination pictorially in no other precise (or vague/mysterious) way, and can be viewed later any number of times to think and rethink the concept of the image endlessly.

Revision as of 20:25, 7 February 2013
I didn't name this account after the place Maschen in Germany, Harburg: it was sheer coincidence to combine "Machine" into a "name-like" term.

Background
WP and RL
Undergraduate in physics, 3rd year.
- I started on WP on 15 July 2010, then left WP temporarily from 25 May 2012 to 14 August 2012; with the intension to not return for a few years until after I gain a master’s degree in physics, due to my many previously useless contributions...
I couldn't resist:
- there are still things to improve on WP, even without overhaul-rewrites or just those intelligent tweaks for clarity.
- I would like to redeem my pathetic history and become (slowly but surely) a driving force (at least slightly) for improving maths and physics (maybe chemistry) articles; either directly if context is within my knowledge scope or indirectly by questioning the scope and content of the articles, or whatever. Yes there are plenty of people who do this already - would one more hurt?...
- Furthermore, with plentiful appreciation, due to these points [1][2] of good-faith encouragement independent of my abilities...
- For those that once knew me
- I am not the same backwards-numpty-hyperactive-knuckleheaded-(18/19 year old) teenager anymore... (nor an expert either)...
A close description of my behaviour is like Naruto Uzumaki (knuckleheaded and hasty), Moritaka Mashiro (addiction to drawing) and L (Death Note) (similar character, minus his immense cognition and intelligence and endless confectionary-eating!!). Template:Multicol-break
Edit pattern
This may be a long list, though when added up; the total contributions are still fairly petty/insignificant compared to most other people.
- Article mainspace
- clean up/organize:
- messy pages mixed with LaTeX/normal markup for silly and simple things like "" and "2x",
- messy citation formats using {{cite book}}, {{cite journal}}, {{cite article}} etc.
- apply table formats for repeated sentences for organization,
- better equation numbering,
- better listification or columns,
- wikilinks
- add:
- basic diagrams (usually pick on inobvious things in attempt to clarify), cerate SVG files for non-SVG files where requested,
- relevant templates where links are useful,
- citations where lacking,
- mix articles together when needed or proposed,
- if possible/noticed:
- manage the equation-list articles (see physics equations, which people either like or hate to hell)
- Talkspace
- when differing perspectives/proposals occur, try to summarize all possible options proposed
Likes
- logic, symmetry, duality, and self-similarity underlying fundamental principles of any form of knowledge, although also like randomness, chaos, irregularity and non-linearity also (nature isn't "perfect" and regular),
- maths (especially set theory, geometry, all things permutations, chaos theory), physics (especially QFT, GR), chemistry, engineering and technology,
- emo/heavy metal/J-rock music
- Graffiti IF it IS artistic and NOT offensive and NOT on people's personal property - it makes derelict factories, city buildings, bridges, tunnels, transformer assemblies, trains look awesome! In fact when handwriting calligraphic letters in formulae I adopt graffiti-style text in equations!
- chess, card games, juggling, jigsaw puzzles/3d (or multidimensional! [3]) puzzles, Rubik's Cube,
- spirograph, epicycloids, hypocycloids, epitrochoids, also coils, spirals...
- gyroscopes,
- Geomag, Meccano, Fischertechnik,
- whiteboards AND blackboards
- and in plenty: drawing.
- Slightly prefer the city to the country.
Drawing and diagramming everything; so that information and meaning is actually transferred to a reader as directly and simply as possible, happens to be my obsession. Ironically I'm not very good at it, usually due to my sore misunderstanding of the concept to draw/diagram...
Drawing for recreation (for instance mathematical patterns, technical drawings, people in Japanese manga style, building architecture, and when a kid: almost every form of European train, and so on...) is also very fun, although I can do technical graphics I'm not good at artistic at all! (much of these creations end up in the bin or deleted instead of storage for later leisure!!)...
IMO There is nothing like drawing: simply a pencil on paper allows one to literally release imagination pictorially in no other precise (or vague/mysterious) way, and can be viewed later any number of times to think and rethink the concept of the image endlessly. Of course there is immense diversity of drawing tools and materials mechanically and electronically for any purpose required, to amplify the power of the pencil and paper... Template:Multicol-break
Dislikes
- "pop" (except for the very unfortunately late legend Micheal Jackson), tacky "romance (genre)", "hip hop", and "(c)rap" music
- hippys, religon, jewelry,
- junk food (like poisonous McDonald's), meat, illegal drug trade, smoking, alcoholic beverages, nudity/sex-obsessive behaviour, death-torture,
- the practices/ideology of Nazis, totalitarianism, Saw (film) and its worse sequels... Seven (film), and A Clockwork Orange (film), films of these types are very negative, disturbing, and encourage disastrously wrong behaviour and ideas for people to copy... they should be BANNED but Hollywood/whatever enjoy the money which is all it's about...
- I'm not an animal person: they not are for our entertainment. Zoos and pets are unfair; animals should be free in the wild although restrained from entering human-populated areas to prevent interference.
Isn't it sad that:
- in all years of civilization - science, mathematics, technology, industrialization have developed far slower than they could have because of irrelevant and empty customs, religions, and personal preferences of the "higher-uppers"; "leaders" of a country or a "inflexible generations" blocking the way? (i.e. any case where people are forbidden to think outside of some falsely obscure box, and make new discoveries in the service of civilization with mutual respect to the planet)
- how many potentially brilliant minds have been (and still are) WASTED in slavery and/or poverty (which ought to be collaborative team work with mutual respect between so-called "peasants" who build the land and need to be rewarded with wealth from it and "leader/s" who rule), and wars?
Wouldn't it just be awesome that instead of going to war - governments and armies from every country would drop their weapons, disarm, leave the f~#@!%* armies, and transform all expertise, time, energy and resources in creating weapons of mass death and destruction and hellish poverty into:
- space technology,
- particle physics facilities,
- renewable energy sources,
since these
- require the very limits of people's minds and talents collaborating to create the finest cutting-edge technology, so people are challenged, work hard, gain tremendous experience and satisfaction and results in the process,
- encourage, interest and demand new future generations of professionals in all areas (not just science/technology/engineering but business, finance, econometrics, computing, media, education...), hopefully less crooked yobbos on the streets,
- are peaceful, although inevitably stressful times and disagreements/conflicts will arise; that is a million times better than going to war by compromising there and then, and the excitement of probing into outer spacetime and developing new technologies should assist removal of violent/criminal attitudes,
- are generally beneficial for our knowledge, planet, and civilization...
Astonishing that this has yet to actually happen globally - maybe never, maybe when we're on the edge of annihilation...
Favourite tables
This is, without question, the greatest table I ever created (looks trivial to an expert - not if you're learning this for the first time and find it awkward):
Summary of above Geometry/Algebra Covariance Contravariance Nomenclature of "vector" vector, contravariant vector covector, 1-form, covariant vector, dual vector Basis is... tangent normal ...to coordinate curves surfaces ...in which one coord varies, all others are constant. one coord is constant, all others vary. The coordinate vector transformation is... while the basis transformation is... ...which are invariant since: The inner product is:
Favourite and successful files
Yes - they're so trivial, that's no reason to draw them.
-
Magnetic field due to a Magnetic moment.
-
Magnetic field due to an electric current.
-
Rotational fluid drag.
-
Wave particle duality (momentum known position unknown).
