NOTE

Judging from the scientists I know, including Eva and Ruth, and those whom I've read about, you can't pursue the laws of nature very long without bumping into beauty.

Why nature should conform to theories we find beautiful is far from obvious. The most incomprehensible thing about the universe, as Einstein said, is that it's comprehensible. How unlikely, that a short-lived biped on a two-bit planet should be able to gauge the speed of light, lay bare the structure of an atom, or calculate the gravitational tug of a black hole. We're a long way from understanding everything, but we do understand a great deal about how nature behaves. Generation after generation, we puzzle out formulas, test them, and find, to an astonishing degree, that nature agrees.

You can do science without believing in a divine Legislator, but not without believing in laws.（这一句很喜欢）

in a pinch（在紧要关头，在必要时）

I'm never more aware of the limitations of language than when I try to describe beauty. Language can create its own loveliness, of course, but it cannot deliver to us the radiance we apprehend in the world, any more than a photograph can capture the stunning swiftness of a hawk or the withering power of a supernova. Eva's wedding album holds only a faint glimmer of the wedding itself. All that pictures or words can do is gesture beyond themselves toward the fleeting glory that stirs our hearts. So I keep gesturing.

Anyone with eyes can take delight in a face or a flower.

COMMENT

Ineffable, limitless, endless. That's what this delicate essay have rouses in my heart: something so immense that pervades evey corner of the universe--yet so tiny that unveils itself from every atom and dust.  My tongue is too clumsy to utter a thing like that. Yet my mind shivers while staring at the those words,  being flooded with unutterable feelings brought by mixture of numerous hints, vague and fleeting that all I can capture are the notion of freedom and order. 

Once I saw a signature in a BBS( a music forum) read "beauty of iron" (有铁一般的美，不知道这样翻合不合适). I was struck with an description like iron for music. The will, order and unrivaled power of music suddenly hits me. Today I read this article, chewing the words of scientists, and find out that the thrilling power comes from a perfect combination of freedom and order, which allows us to explore the beauty and curbs us from deviation. 

A little ashamed, though touch beauty indeed in scientific masterpieces, I didn't feel much of it in my daily major. Perhaps it is because I haven't reach that stage yet. Perhaps one day when I really know the order, I will feel free, and then the beauty.

Thx hugesea again for delivering us so elegant an essay, hug~

HAPPY NEW YEAR'S DAY!


NOTE
populated only by aboriginal peoples with quaint customs. All that will start to change in 2010.
And still to come—delayed by debilitating squabbles among Canada’s shipbuilders and the usual cost overruns of military projects—are three Arctic patrol ships and a polar icebreaker, plus the publication of plans for a deep-water port at Nanisivik, on the north coast of Baffin Island.  if all goes according to plan
Canada paid little heed militarily to the Far North.
Now, the rush is on to discover the Far North
unresolved border delineations（未定的边界线）
the Kyoto climate-change protocol
No matter who governs Canada in 2010—the country’s fractured political system has thrown up a series of unstable governments—all parties agree that the rush to research, develop and protect the Far North has become a national priority. 


COMMENT
If Canada decides to reclaim the Arctic, she must shoulder the responsibility of protecting it. As the world warms up in respons to the millions of tonnes of greenhouse gases poured into the atmosphere each year, the pole suffers the deepest wound which, conversly, will bring awful subsequences. Melting glacier is one aftermath; the releasing methane(CH4), which used to be locked into those glacier yet is letting out with vaporation, is another. Were the methane emitted, it leads to ever intensifying global warming with its higher warming potential(nearly 25 times of that of carbondioxide). Given such devastating situation, the protection should be an indispensable part--or even a top concern--to Canada government. 

To our disappointment, such thing seems not high in their priority list. We see oil exploitation, sea lane regulation and laboratory overhaul, yet when comes to enviromental protection, only vague responses. Candada didn't have a bright record on curbing its emissions, and it seems not highly possible that any large amendment will be achieved under the fractured government. 

Up to now, however, manifesto remains manifesto, and there is a long way before real measures be adopted. Regardless all the complexity of exploitation rights, maritime power and unsettled borders, we simply hope the Arctic to be a place away from contamination---for all's sake.
