I may not be the third to answer but I would live to win this book! Tres magnifiqué
ReplyDeleteLove your blog. That's all I got.
ReplyDeleteAs a French Canadian, I feel greatly discriminated by the space time of this contest which did not take into account the time zones and the problem of engineer of the synchronization of the clocks having inspired an important work in connection with your field of research , I think. I have been reading you regularly for a long time and love your work and your thoughts, I would like a free copy of your book but hey, how to fight against the determinism of space time. Everything is already written, is not it?
ReplyDeleteHi SABINE, !!!
ReplyDeleteWie Gehts ?
I hope your day is going well.
- I find mine ,at the moment,
lacking time
to communicate.
- the least of reasons being
that my car did not start
this morning. ...Ugh !
First, I appreciate your contest though I had little interest in it. I already have a copy of Your book (Love it) and my French is limited to very short romantic or military phrases lol
(Go figure)
I'm still waiting to hear about
the workshop at OZSW... ?
I didn't realize, initially, that you were an opening speaker.
!!! :)
I/we (your readers) would Love
to hear how you thought it went
... and what was your
'take away'.
I can't be alone
in this respect.
-Actually, I think a lot of
Your readers would like to hear some (at least short)
details about your day.
- Or when you go away...
to conferences, speaking engagements, etc.
Your travels, acomidations etc.
ie. something funny happened
to me...
I'm not sure if you realize
or not, but you expose some part of your personality
in your text , your lectures,
your videos.
People actually Like YOU. (whether they agree with you or
not).
Your knowledge and expertise are first and foremost, however..
An underused part of your personality is your humanness.
for example; 'I had a crappy start to my day. I walked outside and stepped in dog shit, I slipped , and spent 20 min cleaning my shoe. I hope your day is off to a better start .
Now, let's get down to Science'
- Good or bad, people ( even in the Scientific community)
identify with events in other
people's lives.
' I woke up this morning and looked outside. It was (raining/sunny) and made me think of ...
My dear, you have poetry
in your heart.
- and if you keep it short,
it won't detract from
the theme of any
blog post.
I can only see it endear
Your readers to you more
- and make you more popular.
Think of it as ' A day in the life of - a theoretical physicist:
You know, with anyone, even
our Einstein...
When you get past the persona,
the hype,.
the ' mind- blowing' concepts
(for the time). The technical
aspects....
It's ultimately comforting
to,at least, imagine
the person as 'human'.
So, give it a try.
Oh, yeah.
a while ago there was some question as to whether you exist
. or were some sort of AI. ?
Really,. ?
- I had no doubt .
* a basic 'AI'
would have figured out
a method to boost
the popularity of your blog
- a lot sooner. lol.
Gotta run,
Please feel free to
'not publish' this.
I (really) just wanted to
say 'Hi' and have
no better avenue
at the moment.
All the best,
Love Your Work.
How come the French edition did not translate the title?? I mean, they translate EVERYTHING in France. It's odd that it is the only country that could not figure out the equivalent of "Lost in maths".
ReplyDeleteMay you offer the Spanish translation ? Because I've a good reason to get one.
ReplyDeleteEloi,
DeleteI didn't get author copies of the Spanish translation, so I actually do not have the book. Sorry about that.
