Calculus & attitude

Yesterday I had to do some calculations about the strength of a steel construction. Internet provides a wide array of knowledge but my old schoolbooks would be much easier, more fun and faster. Very soon after delving the attic I found the books and a flash animated pyrolysis oven I want to integrate later. 'Leerboek der Mechanica', a cloth bound hardback printed in 1975 struck me with simplicity, straightforwardness, was to the point and wonderful courteous. This attitude must be the essence of the 'good old days'; respect and well formulated words. 32 years ago I took this for granted, today it's rare; information is being fired around without any consideration, the spam-age. Some text became outdated though; the use of slide rules & precision because of electronic calculators.

Blogpage for www.4eggsco.nl

http://www.4eggsco.nl/will remain in a permanent ß-status. This blog is the latest addition but the site itself will change often. All content except the introduction page will be recreated in Flash 8 and placed with Dreamweaver 8. Main pages will be in published in Dutch and English.
Primary goal is the fun of creation but anyone interested in contributing is most welcome.
My Sunday started with a jog of 5.2 km at 8.3 km/h while listening to TTC - Relativity and Quantum Mechanics. While you were sleeping, I gained a fraction of a nanosecond in youth and used about 600 kCal. A relative view, because your space-time-gravity-altitude-mass was not taken in account. More good news; the way we look at things might influence these very things. For instance light; it’s both a wave and a photon (particle) depending of what we want it to be. The speed of light however will remain the same, regardless of the space-time where it’s measured from. Thus enabling 'travel' in time.
