我想問下你,你平時一日讀幾耐架?有無d咩心得?
Congratulations for your achievements. At the same time, from reading a few of your posts, you seem like a humble girl. So thats great.
It was, of course, unfortunate that your blog address was published. And you have received so many rude comments since. At the same time, I hope you have also received a few supportive comments that you can treasure.
Based on your posts and the newspaper article in Ming Pao, looks like you have a great support network from your friends and families that will guide and help you in your ups and downs.
To keep this old man's long winded comment "short", from your name, looks like you enjoy physics. Let me share with you one of my most favourite Physicist --- Richard Feynman. I wrote a lengthy blog entry about him last year. I will simply copy and paste it here for your reading pleasure.
The reason I mention Feynman here is less to do with his Physics but his inquisitive and curious mind. And he is a lots of fun and a charming man who didn't take authority too seriously.
Take care and Best Regards,
Kempton
P.S. Ha ha, don't worry about us judging your skills in Chinese compositions or choice of words based on your blog entries. We are smarter than that.
===================
Following is my post about Richard Feynman
===================
Richard Feynman - Great minds of our time
Richard Feynman (1918-1988) is turly one of the “Great minds of our time”. I have been reading many books by him and books about him for years now. I probably have 10 books written by him or about him on my shelf and borrowed a few others from libraries.
“Surely You’re Joking, Mr. Feynman” and “What Do You Care What Other People Think?” have been two of my first loves. The stories Feynman told were so much fun and yet so insightful at the same time. Some simple Google searches on the book titles will sure bring out many favourite passages by many people.
“No Ordinary Genius: The Illustrated Richard Feynman” by Christopher Sykes has a large collections of photos, some drawings by Dick, and stories from a long list of people that knew Dick really well. It is a book that I love and treasure. Christopher also produced the documentary I included at the end of this post.
“Genius: The Life and Science of Richard Feynman” and “Richard Feynman: A Life in Science” are two books for general audiences that talk about Dick’s life. I love “Genius” and think “A Life in Science” is just a so-so book. Quoting Genius describes how Dick passed away still put tears into my eyes,
“He drifted toward unconsciousness. His eyes dimmed. Speech became an exertion. Gweneth [Dick’s wife] watched as he drew himself together, prepared a phrase, and released it: “I’d hate to die twice. It’s so boring.” After that, he tried to communicate by shifting his head or squeezing the hand that clasped his. Shortly before midnight on February 15, 1988, his body gasped for air that the oxygen tube could not provide, and his space in the world closed. An imprint remained: what he knew, how he knew.”
I love “QED: The Strange Theory of Light and Matter” because it is a book that is “a straighforward, honest explanation of … the theory of quantum electron-dynamics — for a nontechnical audience. It is designed to give the interested reader an appreciation for the kind of thinking that physicists have resorted to in order to explain how Nature behaves.“ [K: quantum electron-dynamics was the theory which Feynman later won his Nobel Prize on.]
“Most of the Good Stuff:” Memories of Richard Feynman is a great book of stories as told by many of Dick’s great friends and his little sister Dr. Joan Feynman (who was a Senior Scientist at the Jet Propulsion Lab before she retired in 2003). I finished this book in only two days at the end of 1996. Here is an excerpt from Joan’s chapter,
‘I was Richard Feynman’s first student and he was my first teacher. We were brother and sister, the only children in our family. When I was a baby, Richard would bundle me into my carriage and take me over to his friend Bernie’s house. There he would prop me up so I could watch the two boys work with the batteries, wires, rheostats, switches, and radio tubes they had collected for their “laboratory”. He was nine.
I soon graduated to larger tasks. We had a dog, a fox terrier (more or less), the kind you could see in circuses back then. The family taught him tricks, like sitting and begging, by patiently getting him to understand what was expected and then giving him a treat when he was successful. The dog worked hard for the dog biscuits and amazed the neighborhood children. Observing this, Richard decided that I was probably trainable too, and the most amazing trick he could think of to teach me was to do arithmetic. The problem was, what to give me for a treat? Our mother was very careful with our diet and I certainly couldn’t have candy between meals. But he was always resourceful. When I got a problem correct I was allowed to pull his hair until it hurt or, to be more exact, until he grimaced as if in pain. I remember standing in my crib, maybe three years old, yanking on his hair with great delight while he excitedly planned to surprise Bernie with my new trick. I had just learned to add two and three. I have always believed that the reason Richard had a full head of hair all his life was because I had done such a good job of strengthening the roots.’
My latest addition is “Perfectly Reasonable Deviations From The Beaten Track: The Letters Of Richard P. Feynman“. This book is a collection of Dick’s correspondences as selected and edited by his daughter Michelle. After Dick won his Nobel Prize, he made time to visit students at his high school newspaper and gave an interview with the school newspaper. He told the school newspaper that when he was a student at Far Rockaway High School, he was “no good in English, no good in languages, impossibly poor in drawing, and a goody-good boy in school. I’ve changed.” [K: I just love the quote.]
I’ve also read Feynman’s Rainbow: A Search for Beauty in Physics and in Life and love it. I initially didn’t like this book when it was first published as I probably wanted more Feynman and less Leonard Mlodinow (the author). But I have learned to love it as I aged. The idea of young mind seeking advice from the old genius really appeals to me. PlusMlodinow went on to become a writer and scriptwriter for TV series including Star Trek: The Next Generation and MacGyver.
As an aside, I also love “Albert Einstein, The Human Side“, a book of letters selected by his secretary of 27 years. I quote a part of a letter by Einstein, “Your letter shows me also that wisdom is not a product of schooling but of the lifelong attempt to acquire it.“
My most technical book on Dick has to be Jagdish Mehra’s “The Beat of a Different Drum: The Life and Science of Richard Feynman. Jagdish knew Dick for over 30 years and the idea of writing this book on Dick’s science and life was actually suggested by Dick himself. I skipped 70% of the book (just too technical for me) but the other 30% were good read. “Tuva or Bust! Richard Feynman’s Last Journey” was an ok book with some nice stories.
*************
As part of the research for this entry, I discovered, to my great pleasure (as I haven’t seen it before), the following 40 minutes documentary by Christopher Sykes about Dick. Here are a few brief comments,
1. The story and the lesson of the importance of “knowing something vs knowing their names” is just priceless.
2. Notice the respect and proud in Dick’s eyes when he talked about his dad.
3. Talks about learning Calculus at 13 by reading a book from the library!
4. The moment that Dick talked about he realized that he knew more about something than his father was quite a touching moment.
5. Dick’s discussion of whether his work deserves the Nobel Prize and his views on honour were truly priceless. The prize was finding the things out, the honours were the unreal things to Dick.
你可以試下挑戰哈佛女教授的理論，以你天才，貢獻可以更大，醫生唔洗資優生去做．．．
哈佛美女教授設想第五度空間挑戰相對論
據美國媒體8日報道，根據愛因斯坦的廣義相對論，人類生存的三維空間加上時間軸即構成“四維空間”。然而，美國哈佛大學理論物理學家、美女教授麗莎·藍道爾卻大膽假設，地球可能存在“第五度空間”。這一理論引起國際物理學界震驚。明年，世界最大規模的質子對撞實驗，可能驗證其“第五度空間”的假設。
美女教授最具影響人物之一
據報道，現年45歲的麗莎曾因美貌榮登美國《時尚》雜誌，被譽為哈佛美女教授。身為哈佛大學理論物理學專業的博士，麗莎多年來潛心研究引力、時空的額外維度、膜宇宙模型和弦理論。
她的代表著作《彎曲的旅行：揭開隱藏著的宇宙維度之謎》一書，由於深入淺出地談論了人類身處其中的宇宙故事，曾入選《紐約時報》2005年“100本最佳暢銷書”之列。2007年，麗莎還被美國《時代》雜誌評選為全球“100名最有影響力人物”之一，被公認為當今全球最權威的額外維度物理學家。
提出假設地球有第五度空間
日前，麗莎應邀前往日本東京大學講演，她在會上大膽提出了一項革命性的假說———地球可能存在“第五度空間”。由於這一假說與愛因斯坦廣義相對論中關於“四維空間”的理論相悖，國際物理學界為之震驚。據悉，麗莎曾在一次核裂變實驗中，意外發現有微粒突然消失。因此她大膽假設，這些消失的微粒可能飛入了人類看不到的“第五度空間”。
麗莎表示：“我認為(地球上)存在‘第五度空間’等其他的維度。如果這個假設正確，那麼其他空間（第五度空間）其實離我們並不遙遠，甚至可說近在咫尺。只是它們隱藏得很好，我們看不到而已。”
明年驗證地下百米質子對撞
據悉，最快在明年，麗莎就可以把“第五度空間”從假設變成全新的理論。因為歐洲原子核研究中心（CERN）目前正在瑞士和法國的邊境地下100多米深處，興建一臺世界規模最大的粒子對撞機。一旦正式投入使用，這臺機器將可解答物理學中一些最深奧的問題，比如宇宙起源與結構，以及其他空間維度等。
屆時，一條周長27公裏的環形隧道將把兩束質子加速到接近光速，然後讓它們以每秒8億次的速率迎面相撞，釋放出大量比質子更小的粒子，從而重現宇宙形成時發生大爆炸的情形。如果屆時有粒子消失無蹤，就可以證實後者進入了人類看不到的“第五度空間”。
麗莎指出：“涵蓋人類三維世界的五維空間應該還存在另一個三維世界，但只有重力產生的能量可穿梭於不同世界。”目前科學家正在努力找出除了重力以外可以穿梭不同世界的物質，這樣一來，就可以找出更多五維空間中存在的其他三維世界，甚至發現時光隧道。不過麗莎表示，要想進行穿越時空之旅還很困難，“因為人類目前還沒有能力離開賴以生存的三維世界
首先~恭喜你先
我RE係到係因為之後果幾個POST CM已經去到600= =
驚你睇唔到~
打係到希望你睇到吧~
首先我同意上面O既意見...
真係唔好做醫生
醫人的確好,但係不設實際
但你知唔知點解當初周樹人先生點解唔行醫而改去寫作
就係因為佢知道醫人係表面
但係透過文章先能夠真正的去醫治人的內心(大概係咁= =,,我都唔太記得)
醫人的確幫到人
但係世上的病人係以千萬計
你醫得1個..醫得晒所有人麼?
病毒是不能全消滅的
生,老,病,死
人人都經歷
而且醫人真係埋沒左你O既才能
點解你唔嘗試做D人係去改變全世界,而唔係單單去醫個人
當然,..我冇諗過三言兩語就改變你的思想
但係,諗清楚吧
還有...
對於那些攻擊性言論
一笑置之可矣~
加油呀@@
勝不驕故然有大將風範
不過木秀於林,風必毀之
適當既時候不妨謙虛d啦
畢竟呢個世界多妒忌少欣賞
聰明,能言善辯,堅毅或者你都有,不過
忍人之不能忍 成人之不能成=)
HIHI!!
你好叻女牙!!
我同你都係14歲丫,,
不過學歷就差勁多/___\
你介吾介意add我msn,,同我做個fd呀?
bonnie1993bonnie@hotmail.com
等你!=)
恭喜你..我都係14歲-3-升f3
你好叻呀
我都會好好努力
屌你老味
你好撚戇鳩
希望你唔好嬲啦
你好,
我自己都係應屆會考生（文科）
本來我冇咩留意有關狀元的消息，但偶然地在討論區見到好多人數落你
我個人認為佢地應該係「沒事找事做」ge人，所以不停上網搵有關你ge資料
因為我想知道你係唔係佢地口中個個好串ge女生
但係我睇睇下又唔覺
我覺得你EQ好好，有到咁多人用粗口話你，你依然冇以牙還牙
佩服！！！
至於，佢地話串你ge原因有兩個：一個係話你指補習冇用，一個係話你母親指你成日考第一好平常（我唔知自己講得岩唔岩，因為我冇睇新聞，係綜合所有人講ge野得出離ge）
我覺得佢地有點兒無聊
一. 有用無用係自己覺得ge，點可以憑你一句說話離定奪
所以，你ge做法係聰明ge>>>唔理佢地
其實最好ge辦法係lock xanga（不過，好彩你冇lock咋...如果唔係我就唔可以入離留言啦）
二. 當一個人天資好，又勤力，考第一係好平常ji~係佢地少見多怪~
我好想結識你，交個朋友，好嗎？
MSN：ruth_luka@hotmail.com
另外，我仲未恭喜你完成左一項驕人的成就
恭喜！恭喜！ ^^
希望你將來會繼續努力，貢獻社會
P.S.：讀醫會好辛苦嫁！記住要練好D體能
如果唔係，實習個陣會好難捱
加油啊！！！
你要繼續努力向你既理想出發!
認清目標,知唔知?
雖然你而家出左名,
好多人會望住你,
可能你會多左好多壓力,
但我相信你可以好好咁處理!
記住,沉默是金,謠言止於智者,
雖然我唔知道點解有咁多人咁激動,
對於某一d比較負面既留言,唔好太介意。
仲有好多人會支持你!!
我睇好你做個好醫生為社會貢獻。
你好~
我是第一次來你的blog
看到很多不滿你的cm
說真的,我初頭真的不滿你
我覺得你只是憑著天賦才能才可9A
還有看到電視上的你,那麼串
真的非常不滿!!!
但來到你的blog,看到一名網民的cm
"不招人妒是庸才"
才醒覺,其實我只不過是嫉妒你
事實上我IQ不及你
只不過我不及你才找藉口不滿吧
但你是你,我是我
何必比較?
做好自已就可以吧
在電視上,你也只不過說出自已感受
串?你都串得起啦
不過你也要注意態度^^
我相信你在CE都下過苦功吧
可能其他人比你更努力
比較只會增加痛苦,何必呢?
在這裡衷心祝福你
繼續努力吧!!!
ps.我不是應屆會考生,不過過多幾年就係啦
其實好多人打 blog 果陣都唔似作文咁，
咁認真組織同修飾，
所以打日記未必同佢寫作能力有直接關係。
大家做個fd吧~我不是不良學生@@
恭喜你anyway~
