An Introduction.

Hi, this will officially be my first post on this blog of mine. Since I am unsure of any really interesting topic to write about at the moment, I will tell you a little bit about myself. My name is Adam, which I am sure you might have guessed by now - hence the title above. Basically, I am 21 years of age and a student at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. I constantly enjoy learning new things whether it be science, languages, cooking new dishes, or some random skill.

I am currently studying Physics, Asian Studies, and Computer Science. I know that's a lot to try and tackle all at once, but I am often conflicted because I am still unsure what I really want to do for the rest of my life. I love physics for the intellectual challenge and the continual search for knowledge of how the world truly works. I love Computer Science for it's logical approach to problem-solving, inventiveness, and the opportunities it gives the physical and natural sciences for further advancement. Without the power computers have given us, physics, chemistry, and biology would not be where they are today. Finally last but not least, I am very interested in learning languages. Not only is it a fun and rewarding endeavor that allows you to communicate with people of different cultures around the world, I firmly believe that the study of language, or linguistics per say, should have it's own place within the field of science as well. The last frontier of science is the discovery and exploration of the "mind" ...or consciousness if you will.

To sum it all up, I feel that following these three passions of mine simultaneously will possibly lead me to a field in neuroscience/neurophysics. Our brain is the most important aspect of our existence, but also the least known. I think unlocking the mysteries of the brain will lead us into a new era of thought, thus changing our world view and how we perceive reality. All that we experience is the manifestation of the brain's trillions of neurons processing information. This concept leads us to interesting philosophical and physical arguments about whether our brain is dependent or independent of what we directly perceive in our daily lives. How do we know we're not plugged into some virtual world like the Sims or Habbo.com - and the laws we know of as physics aren't just some computer program? A program written by who? I don't know. Maybe God? Maybe some advanced civilization of mice? - Maybe the universe itself. This is only but one of the challenges that modern science is currently facing and upon which will make new and exciting discoveries in the future.

Equation Generator

I have found a great equation generator that produces equations in HTML format, allowing anyone to post equations in the comment section. Tell us what your trying to say with equations! sometimes it makes all the difference in the world.
