best harlan coben novels
2 years ago
A Fórmula de Deus, in English The God's Formula, is the fourth novel written by the Portuguese award-winning journalist and best-selling writer José Rodrigues dos Santos,
published in 2006 in Portugal.
The novel narrates a quest for the scientific proof of the existence of god by a Portuguese professor, Tomás Noronha, based on a formula developed by Einstein himself. The adventure takes place in Iran, Tibet and Portugal, with the involvement of the CIA. The book presents an innovative view about the origins of the universe, based on recent physics theories.
Relativity on time, gravitations, light theories, and energy.
Worth a read after the finals!!
and guess what I found out,
Something about the facts behind Dan Brown's award winning novel " Angels and Demons"
This is on the God's particle.
Such matter does exist under physics terms and its part of the research done enclosed within the CERN.
I scroll through archives and wiki, and found a book called "The God Particle: If the Universe Is the Answer, What is the Question?"
This book is a 1993 popular science book by Nobel Prize-winning physicist Leon M. Lederman and science writer Dick Teresi.
It provides a brief history of particle physics, starting with the Pre-Socratic Greek philosopher Democritus, and continuing through Isaac Newton, Roger J. Boscovich, Michael Faraday, and Ernest Rutherford. This leads in to a discussion of the development of quantum physics in the 20th century. In a nod to the philosophy of atomism, Lederman follows the convention of using the word "atom" to refer to atoms in their modern sense as the smallest unit of any chemical element, and "a-tom" to refer to the actual basic indivisible particles of matter, the quarks and leptons.
It would extract out the description of the particle chapter : The God Particle
This is what called Fundamental Energy
The ignition of two protons, like how it was kept seperately at each end to avoid reaction that causes massive consumption of energy, explosion and creating a vortex.
This Event known as an Accelerator Event
The God Particle
Direct extract from wikipedia:Dr. Lederman begins this chapter by narrating the journey of the neutrino to illustrate the symmetry that the universe must have had at one time.
The neutrino, a particle without mass travels at the speed of light and can have a clockwise or counterclockwise spin.
The neutrino’s direction of spin is forever tied to the “direction of motion”, and this gives it a new property – chirality. This, according to Dr. Lederman is “lovely symmetry.” It is a reflection of the earlier universe where all particles have no mass and exhibit the symmetry that is hidden today, according to what’s known from the QCD, QED, and the Standard Model. It is an earlier universe extrapolated from abstract mathematical theory.
According to Dr. Lederman, the Standard Model mathematically predicts that there exists the Higgs, or something else at this level of discovery. [69]
Recent updated news, after the publication of this book, is that the LHC at CERN will most likely prove the existence of the Higgs field soon after it is up and running. It is scheduled to be back on line in
September 2009.
Surprisingly from the Higgs, not carbon nor hydrogen.
tree-level interactions between elementary particles described in the Standard Model.
Vertices (darkened circles) represent types of particles, and edges (blue arcs) connecting them represent interactions that can take place. The organization of the diagram is as follows:
the top row of vertices (leptons and quarks) are the matter particles;
the second row of vertices (photon, W/Z, gluons) are the force mediating particles;
and the bottom row is the Higgs boson.

Discovery: According to Dr. Lederman, plethora of photons, added to plethora of photons flood the universe, extended into the microwave range; a remnant of the Big Bang, discovered accidentally in 1965 by two Bell Lab scientists. COBE has discerned that
the microwave radiation is from 300,000 years after the Big Bang,
Prior to the big bang all observable matter was overheated and “squeezed into a volume vastly smaller than the head of a pin”. The temperature was unimaginably, baking and broiling; it was a blistering cauldron at 1032 degrees Kelvin. That's one trillion, trillion, billion degrees. Matter as we see with our eyes could not exist. It was too hot. Everything was quarks and leptons boiling around in hot plasma. Then came the expansion and cooling – quarks “began to coagulate into protons, neutrons, and the other hadrons”. Stable nuclei, began to form when protons and neutrons began to combine at around age three minutes, during a period known as Big Bang nucleosynthesis.
After that - according to Dr. Lederman - it took 300, 000 years for the universe to cool enough to allow electrons into the mix, and atoms were produced. Before this atoms were unable to form. In addition, at 300,000 years the photons were freed up and sped outward in all directions, and “that is why we got our microwave photon information [15 billion years] late.” Today outer space is about 2.73 degrees above absolute zero – that is 2.73 degrees Kelvin.
approximately around -270 celcius
low energy level.
Dr. Lederman shows, through the work of other physicists, that cosmological quantum theory must be developed to understand the Universe before 10-33 seconds. In other words, what were the initial conditions, during the time period, from zero seconds (the moment of the big bang) up to 10-33seconds, that led to the “seeds” of galaxies, seen in the microwave field, as measured by the COBE platform, at age 300,000 years? Calculations have shown that there hasn’t been enough time for the universe to have formed and coalesced as we see it today. There must be some initial conditions just at the billionth of a moment before the universe was
created in the big bang. There is speculation about the existence of quantum mechanical (particle) fluctuations just prior to the big bang, which were then “stretched” by an inflation of the universe, to account for an enlargement “commensurate with galaxies”.If it was left in Wiki, no one would go scout for it, so I repost it here. = =
This gives me a conclusion to study the facts behind Dan Brown's arguments. As it is not something made up of, but relatively bonded to physic concepts regarding the exploration of science and time relativeness, and the discovery of the God Particle, (Boson Higgs)
Now I am free from boredom after finals.. keke...
Accounts... damn...
GG =D
Quote from Dmitri Mendeleev :
" This was not crazy enough"
Studying for 5 months, the time is finally here.
Last level : Final Exam
Current Internal Status:
English A-------------78%
Maths A--------------------------------------------- 95%
Accounting A---------------82.8%
Physics A---------------------83.33%
Computer Science A-----------------------90%
*Figures are estimated and taken into account of the Worst Scenario
Target = 308/400
to be enrolled in Engineering faculty
Expected Minimum Figure:
Overall progression
English ------ 77%
Maths -------77%
Accounting ----77%
Physics --------77%
Computer Science ---- 77%
(77*4 + bonus of 7.7)/400 = 315.7 /400
Permitted!
However, to aim for entrance scholarship,
have to achieve safely 365/400
this is the best possible figure:
English -----------------80% ( already expected to be converted as bonus 10%)
Maths ----------------------------------------98%
Accounting---------------------88%
Physics-------------------------88%
Computer Science----------------------94%
(368+8.0)/400 = 374/400
Reduction of random error, lack of preparation, scale down moderating,
Possible markdown applies for Accounting and Comp Science ( most riskful subjects)
Maximum markdown of 30% consumed due to error,
Minimum Achieve, assumption of other subject remain consistent,
Hence,
English----------------------80%
Maths----------------------------------------95%
Accounting-------------75%
Physics ------------------------83%
Comp Science------------------------88%
(346+7.5)/400= 351.5/400
Still Permitted, no scholarship, bloody impossible to get scholarship with that grade.
So how, Study bloody Hard!!
Analysing broken component, contribution to raw final marks:
English internal 39/50 = total 39%
Maths Internal possible outcome:
a) higher internal, 95% internal = total 38%
b)lower internal, 95% internal = total 28.5%
Accounting internal, possible outcome:
a) Best 4 method: 87% internal = total 43.5%
b) Average of 5: 82.8% internal = total 41.4%
Physics Adjusted Internal 83.32% = total 33.33%
Computer Science Adjusted Internal 90% = total 36%
Sum up the figures, the marks before even counting in the finals are
a)38+44+33+36 = 151
b)29+41+33+36 = 139
c)38+44+33+36 = 151
d)29+44+33+36 = 142
*Making assumption that English scored the least, hence converted to bonus of 10%,
figure neglected to prevent overstating.
Determine Mean to Distribute the score with maximum probability,
(a+b+c+d)/4 = 145.75
Conclusion is that, the current standing without adding in the final scores is 146/400
taken account the worst scenario.
However, the probability I get 0/400 is 0.00%
100/400 is 0.00%
200/400 is < style="font-style: italic;">thats close to goal)
400/400 is <1% style="font-weight: bold;">Imba)
Estimating possible chances to fall within 300 to 400 is >80%
setting it 368/400 , currently 146/400
just need 222 more marks!
So, STUDY HARD LO
lol = =
TEO, FISH, GOAT, AADI, ERIC, BROWN, AND EVERYONE ELSE including cb Ong~
Good Luck on your Finals!!!!
Is it a coincident?
Hey I am back on blogging stuff... Joining the fun, gaining back the addiction that i once sealed.
The Desperation to follow the "freedom of speech" trend boils within me.
Looking at Fish's blog, uncle Teo's blog and GoAt's blog, feel so sorry for my half dead AUMNO.
So, I decided to exercise this routine back again! xD xD xD
So, I decided to exercise this routine back again! xD xD xD
Damn it, I have plenty of photo's, all still raw in the camera.... dad's room T.T
Recently, I had been quite 'busy" with test, quizes and exams .. " Believe it ornot ;) "
Because of that, I seldom have time to write articles on blog like how that cb fish did.
Like I said, no time to use computer for long, that's why everytime use also play DOTA.
Logically related. My second accusation is that EXPOSITORY WRITING and ARGUMENTATIVE WRITING already haunt me for weeks.. That's why I try to avoid myself from "writing"
Ahaha.... Lame leh.... just like jingwen. Oh.. the presentation!
Yesterday we had our physics presentation, students are required to present their respective topics in full formal attire. Everyone of us wore collarshirt and tie [I got feddup of the bulky coat since the English Presentation]. Uncle Teo's shirt is nice, reddish and with a printed solid pattern. He look exactly like a supervisor in a chinese restaurant. LOL
Fish's definitely looking like a technician ( not engineer oh..) With his father's Shirt, tie and even Pants OMFG!!! Who cares as long as C likes it. :)
JingWen.... hahahahhaha...... " Mid Valley, berapa?" White collar black slacks, typical taxi driver attire.
Dic's one looking fine. Mine was ok, but the tie.... its too thick for me... T.T
Argumentative writing was a crap. I just go through the articles a night before. Went on pretty well, possible mistakes are grammatical errors, weak citation and poor refutation... @@
The good thing is
THIS IS THE BLOODY 1st TIME I MANAGE TO FINISH EVERYTHING up to the bibliography... Wooooooootz~~
THIS IS THE BLOODY 1st TIME I MANAGE TO FINISH EVERYTHING up to the bibliography... Wooooooootz~~
The presentation !! Everyone looked well prepared and well attired. The 1st few groups took too long on their presentation, that's why the other half of presentors are delayed. Including our group, I set up the slides and the decorations till late night and she tell us " 2 weeks later"
Nice................have to bring the aeroplane back.....
Me, YewJin(aka CD Seller), Tien Ding, Zakia

Please Read the comprehension below. Your Summary must be less than 80 words.
0 thoughts Voiced by Ryuka at 11:44 PMHere's the reasons for being absent from blogging for such a "long = =" period
( dammit u guys, its less than a month still... not that i am dead though =/ )
Its so 自卑 ma, see TJ,the "ressurected" blogger still that active, even after classes started.
I am considered MIA. Seriously missing to nowhere. Damn, there's really lot to settle before I can sit on a plastic chair comfortably and blog..
Enough. This is what RyukA will do as you buddies know. I will go for a long rest for weeks,
and come back with ton of excuses.. crap crap crap.. like Michael. For some reason, I do have very valid reasons.. ya know..
like..
" I am busy studying for quizes" ( booooooo~~)
" I recently seldom use the computer when I am at home." ( booooo~~ Life so sad?)
"Not Really. during class intervals that has atleast 2hrs, I will go Cyber and play" ( Fuiyo... with who?)
" Ding Yang and that Long-face Yu Ning" ( Why them?)
" Same Program la, brother." ( What Program)
' MUFY. Manchester United Final Year." ( MU fans dont 吊 me >.<)
*Monash University Foundation Year
" Last reason. I lazy to blog. I wait for free time to blog stuffs." ( So fake~ )
Its kinda good experience though. Only 3 musketeers from CHS enrolled in MUFY.
Make us having a higher chance to meet more new friends :D
MUFY program is considered more foreign compared to other programs like SAM, A levels, STPM. Its always " what u studying? hah? apa Mufy?"
This program is rather abit enclosed from the public i guess.
So Far so good. Screwing assignment as usual. But It's done a little more Professional then the High school style. Lecture hours are lot longer than High school lessons, yet not that tiring i suppose. The "air change concept" could be a factor. The MUFY lecturers are quite nice, friendly
and precise. I always like to play challenge with teachers, throwing miscellaneous questions at them, yet the lecturer is always good in giving the feedback, unlike some of those xxxxx teachers that want us to Shut up than giving her reply.
Class size not big, a good thing. A max of 30 per class. Furnished with Projector and Airconditioner every classroom. ( its kinda common for colleges, in case some barbarians dont know @@)
Due to quite a number of foreign students in the MUFY program. Our classes were mostly blended in a 70-30 ratio of Local and foreign [ the statistics differ for different subjects].
For example: my Physics class, its a mini United Nation of students from 19 countries.
For your info, Foriegn Buddies are very friendly and polite peoples. ( hope its not just for now. >.<)
Anyway, every morning the CHS-ians do meet up somewhere in the cafeteria.
The Girls do the CHit-chatting, and the boys do the Sight-seeing. shhh.... =X
And the friendship community just get bigger and bigger whenever one of us introduce our
coursemates when they pass-by sometimes.
From time to time, when the break is long enough for me to play 2 games of Dota ( bout 2:30 hrs)
I will meet up those CHS-ians working in Sunway Pyramid, with friends or just alone (how sad).
To be specific, is to have lunch with Ah Bin and others. Of Course, i would reach there early,
for a reason i cant recognise places excluding fast food restaurants and the Guitar shop at LG1.
Mentioning SUnway Pyramid, Damn it! Its the 3rd time i went there in this week.
Wednesday my continuous break ngam ngam during Lunch hour, so i made a little promise with Ah Bin that every wednesday noon we go Yamcha together.
VOCAB PLUS : "yamcha" = Have a drink. Drink tea. Derived from Cantonese
That's a brief of What's going on over here. haha.
Gotta Sleep, My system need to recharge. lol.
T@t@
To be continued on __________
( man, how da hell i know when will be the next time i blog, I aint full time blogger #.#)
