  • E = mc²

    The equation E = mc², in which energy is put equal to mass, multiplied by the square of the velocity of light, showed that very small amounts of mass may be converted into a very large amount of energy and vice versa.

  • The power of communication

    The power of communication of thoughts and opinions is the gift of God, and the freedom of it is the source of all science, the first fruits and the ultimate happiness of society; and therefore it seems to follow, that human laws ought not to interpose, nay, cannot interpose, to prevent the communication of sentiments and opinions in voluntary assemblies of men. Eyre, L.C.J., Hardy's Case (1794), 24 How. St. Tr. 206; reported in James William Norton-Kyshe, The Dictionary of Legal Quotations (1904), p. 99.

Paul, Gurita Piala Dunia 2010

, , , , No comments


Baru kali ini terjadi... (dan terdengar agak konyol) dimana ada binatang yang lebih terkenal dari maskot piala dunia. Paul yang juga dikenal sebagai "octopus oracle" adalah salah satu koleksi binatang dari Sea Life Centre, Oberhausen, Jerman. Dia terkenal karena 'keberhasilannya' meramal hasil pertandingan sepakbola.



Seperti ramalannya yang menjadi kenyataan saat Argentina Vs Jerman atau Jerman Vs Spanyol. Walaupun begitu ramalanya tidak selalu benar, dari 6 kali ia mencoba meramal untuk erman, 2 diantaranya salah, yah mungkin namanya juga ramalah tidak bisa 100% dipercaya.

Jadi bagaimanakah untuk final nanti??? Well, ternyata Paul memilih Spanyol.
