I am currently pursuing an undergraduate degree in physics at [[LUMS|http://lums.edu.pk]], trying to play lots of football, and doing some other really cool stuff you can find out about in about 2020.

My interests range from rationality to football to physics to leadership to computers to music. I hold strong opinions on everything from the nature of the universe to the best ball points to work with, and plan to write on some of them pretty soon.

What I have already written can be found in [[Writings]].

If you are interested, you can check out my [[Curriculum Vitae]].

If you would like to contact me please check [[Contact]].

This website is a [[TiddlyWiki]]. Please check [[TiddlyWiki]] and [[MPTW]] if you intrigued.

|Description|Add checkboxes to your tiddler content|
This plugin extends the TiddlyWiki syntax to allow definition of checkboxes that can be embedded directly in tiddler content.  Checkbox states are preserved by:
* by setting/removing tags on specified tiddlers,
* or, by setting custom field values on specified tiddlers,
* or, by saving to a locally-stored cookie ID,
* or, automatically modifying the tiddler content (deprecated)
When an ID is assigned to the checkbox, it enables direct programmatic access to the checkbox DOM element, as well as creating an entry in TiddlyWiki's config.options[ID] internal data.  In addition to tracking the checkbox state, you can also specify custom javascript for programmatic initialization and onClick event handling for any checkbox, so you can provide specialized side-effects in response to state changes.

!!!!!Revisions
<<<
2008.01.08 [*.*.*] plugin size reduction: documentation moved to [[CheckboxPluginInfo]]
2008.01.05 [2.4.0] set global "window.place" to current checkbox element when processing checkbox clicks.  This allows init/beforeClick/afterClick handlers to reference RELATIVE elements, including using "story.findContainingTiddler(place)".  Also, wrap handlers in "function()" so "return" can be used within handler code.

Cartographers.'
'Go rap her carts.'
'Strap her cargo.'
'Crop rag hearts.'
'Chop Ra's garter.'


The first is what Karim from Kamila Shamsie's Kartography wanted to be. The others a rearrangement of the word that he and Raheen made up. Both are important to the story, I mean cartography and anagrams. The whole story is an anagram of sorts, you can dissect it in so many different ways, arranging and rearranging the parts, giving importance here, disregarding there, and every time coming up with something that makes some sense.

Yet, I have a feeling I didn't quite make the anagram that Kamila Shamsie really meant the story to be, and that makes total complete sense. If she meant a particular anagram that is. Perhaps the strength of the story lies in the fact that even though each anagram makes only some sense on it's own, together they all form a cohesive whole that gets the idea across.

Which idea anyways? There are so many. The blurb at the back made me start off by trying to read it as a love story. Clearly, I should have postponed my judgement. There were strains of adolescent love, of a friendship I could not find a parallel of in my own life, and the mysteries of the swapped fiances was enough to keep me hooked.

The story turned out to be more about Pakistan and it's heart of sorts Karachi. It was about the break up of the country. It put it more eloquently than ever, 'How can Pakistan still be when the whole is gone and  we are left with a part?' I have never really read about the breakup outside of government prescribed textbooks. To see it enacted of sorts in fiction, to see people I could believe existed play out parts, was a chilling experience.

Statistics have a horrible way of distorting reality. They reduce people to numbers. Stories too distort reality, but in a different way. They don't reduce people to numbers, rather ignore most of them and speak to us of the lives of only a few. The good stories make us feel. Kartography made me feel. It made me feel the pressure people lived in, the loss of life and how it affected those who stayed on. 

Then again, I could have felt more. For some reason or the other, Pakistani writers have a habit of writing about a class of people who don't exist. The ten thousand strong elites of the country, the ones who go to binge drinking parties, who travel back and forth across the world, who have 'contacts', who have millions hidden in their bank accounts, are lost to me among the teeming one eighty million strong that make up this country. In all my life, I haven't actually seen any of these people. Few of us ever do. They do exist. They exist in the sense that perhaps they do control the country. They really are richer than the rest of the country put together.

My question is, do they define Pakistan? Do they get to be the ones who we picture in our heads when we think of a Pakistani? How is the life of a typical Pakistani, and that of an 'elite'? Kamila Shamsie, Mohsin Hamid, Mohammad Hanif, food for thought?

The love story in Kartography came back in the later half. Inspiring as it was, I couldn't remove the nagging thought at the back of my mind, isn't this slightly overmuch melodramatic? Love is melodramatic. In the common lives around me, I see it everyday. To be human, love and drama always go together. Yet, there are always moments of sanity that seemed missing from Kartography. Perhaps, she glossed over those moments, in the same way she glossed over the one eighty million strong. I was sad. I wanted the anagram of love to touch me. I tried to draw parallels with my own life. Kamila Shamsie turned out to be a bad cartographer. Her map corresponded little with the reality of my life, and I was lost soon after the magic of adolescent love.

Three anagrams I saw I have mentioned here. I think the anagram of the break up of Pakistan would last with me the longest. The chills I felt down my spine, I know will stay for a long time. Pakistan is perhaps worse off then the times this story was written about. Kartography doesn't bog you down, it doesn't just make you sad. It gives you strength. By making you feel it, it hardens your resolve to fix it all. It never comes out and says it. I doubt if Kamila Shamsie had this in mind when she wrote it. Her words, unconsciously, anagram into this message too. We have suffered enough in the past on one occasion. Let there be no repeat, the anagram says. Fix it, it says.

The torture of it all. To be able to live but to not play the game. They say that the lost lover is the worst torture of all. I have experienced lost lovers and I have experienced injuries, and I tell you, not being able to play the game is much much worse. All you dream about all day is the time when you will return to the field and weave your magic again. How you will play the game the way it is meant to be played. Where you will respect and be respected. Your body screams and whines, asking you to give in and just go onto the field. You resist the temptation, the hardest treat you can deny yourself. It takes every ounce of your will to do it, but you do it because deep down you know that a game today will cost you another few months of off the field time - maybe more. You are the sportsman. You carry yourself with discipline and honor. You do what is necessary to play the game right.

Those months, when everyday is a fight. You go to sleep, you dream about you on the field. You think it's the real world and you start to feel guilty about playing. You struggle with yourself, trying desperately to pull yourself off the field. The game tempts you. You are caught in a trap. Then finally, discipline wins. You pull yourself away. You wake up with a start, all sweaty, almost panting from the fight. A few moments you don't know where you are. Then reality catches on. Your tensed body relaxes a little, but not enough. You turn over and try to go to sleep again. You lay awake, contemplating the day you will truly return to the field.

Weeks have passed. You have had enough. You decide it's time to test out. A light jog will decide the progress on the injury. You have never gone to the doctor, because the he might tell you you can never play again. You think the fool's hope is better than the idea of never being able to work the magic again. But it's not that simple. You spend a week in contemplation. Planning the run. You think about your gear. You consider your sleeping routine, trying to align the peak of your daily cycle with the time of your run. You consider the food you are taking. You push yourself to eat more healthy. A few more vegetables, a few more fruits here and there. You think what you will do if there is no pain. You think about what you will do if there is pain. You run through all the possibilities in your head, thinking and contemplating. You picture the best case scenario and the worst case.  An hour or so before the run, you go off alone by yourself. You dream some more. You do some more thinking. You prepare yourself a bit more. You stare up at the moon and bask in it's beauty. You go and put on your gear. You walk to the jogging field. You put some music on your mobile.

You start jogging...

<<<
2008.06.11 [1.9.3] added $(...) function as 'shorthand' convenience syntax for document.getElementById()
2008.03.03 [1.9.2] corrected declaration of wikifyPlainText() for 'TW 2.1.x compatibility fallback' (fixes Safari "parse error")
2008.02.23 [1.9.1] in onclick function, use string instead of array for 'bufferedHTML' attribute on link element (fixes IE errors)
2008.02.21 [1.9.0] 'onclick' scripts now allow returned text (or document.write() calls) to be wikified into a span that immediately follows the onclick link.  Also, added default 'return false' handling if no return value provided (prevents HREF from being triggered -- return TRUE to allow HREF to be processed).  Thanks to Xavier Verges for suggestion and preliminary code.

She was always strong, always far out of reach, never... Yet he loved her. Her heart always was closed, to him and to everyone around her. Yet he loved her. Only once she revealed himself to him. It was a moment of weakness that should not have been. It did happen. She revealed himself to him. His heart overflowed with even more love for her, deeper and stronger than ever before. Yet, she was not to be. The same loving heart told him that died and was reborn in love again and again like the phoenix. The debate ever happened in his heart. Tired he was, doubting and considering if he should go on. He stood at the cross roads and pondered...

//Written in the heat of the moment, this is a record of a way-of-looking-at-life-changing moment. The bad language is just a reflection of my emotions.//

The football field can be a magical place at dawn. You sit in one of those dirty little seats along the sidelines, their backs too low because football fans are always supposed to be leaning forward in excitement. Or maybe they always seem to be excited because the backs of the seats are too low. 

The moon from last night is still sitting up in the sky, it's light now barely perceivable. The sun has a habit of creeping up on you and surprising you. You think it's still night time. A few minutes later, the morning light has lit it up all around you. You can see the birds going about their morning business. They chirp and hop and look for food. 

The magic lies in nature and it's beauty. Fields are nature. But there is a little bit more magic hidden in the football field. If you are not a fan, you will just have to look a little bit harder. 

Life is a cruel place to be in. There is plenty of hardship and toil and heartbreaks. You would think it's like the beautiful field, the grass green and the flowers blooming.  It really isn't. Life and the people in it have habit of slapping you down. With your face in the dirt, the field doesn't look all that pretty. 

That is where football comes in, and where the football field comes in. Football has a way of training you about life. teaching you how to deal with all the pain. The world of football is like a simple form of life played out for you. 

See, the thing with life is that what you get hurt by is not your enemies, but your friends. Like in football. Opposing teams come and go. You win against some, lose against some. In the long run, you don't really care about them. After all, you have to live with your team mates, and not your enemies. 

See, football restores your faith in the world. When you are on the field, you are on the field. All you care about winning the game, so does every one of your teammates. Then you become brothers in arms. You lose the self and become one with the team. Then there are no betrayals and no heartbreaks. If there is pain, it only comes from losing. That really isn't pain, because there are so many of you to share it with. 

When the world slaps you down, and you stand heartbroken, wondering what to do, that is when the magic sets in. It makes you forget, even for a little while. It makes you forget that the people you care about, and their cruelty. It makes you forget life and it's iron fist. It reminds you that in life, there are no teams. The only team is you. That is if you want to  live with any sort of sanity. 

The people around you, even the ones you care about, don't act like the way that brothers in arms do on the magic field of football. If you try to put them in your own team, they have a habit of scoring for the other team in your own goal, the other team of coldhearted life. You really have to put other people in the other team. Even if you have to start imaginary wars with them. For they do belong there. That is the lesson from football. You have to take it. 

For then those people can only beat you like other teams can beat you. But the pain of losing is not really pain, because there are eleven of you inside. Then you can be a little brave and hope they will be wise enough to settle for a draw, though they often don't. You on the other hand never try to win. For you know this is not a game. 

The football field at dawn is a magical place. It brings it all back. The lessons and the memories from yesteryear. You remember, and you are rejuvenated for another day, another life. The sun is up. The moon is gone. It's time for you to get up and go and get to work.

What happens when a Lecturer in Mathematics at Oxford takes delight in wordplay puzzles, wants to entertain children with stories, and does not like the new developments in the mathematics of his age? Why, you get the wonderful Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, Through the Looking Glass, and other delightful stories and poems, of course. Written by Lewis Carroll and still in print, these are the among the most popular pieces of fiction, bringing delight to countless children. However, there is more to Lewis Carroll than meets the eye.

Lewis Carroll, whose real name was Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, lived in a time when a revolution was taking place in the world of mathematics and logic. The old guard of that time, of which Dodgson considered himself a part of, believed that “mathematics should be based on axioms, the truth of which ought to be self-evident”. In contrast, the new guard recognized “that the most we can hope for is a set of postulates which we choose to accept.” The difference might not seem too important for someone not familiar with mathematics, but this new idea is the basis of almost all of modern mathematics. Though the Alice stories on the surface seem meant to entertain children, there were in fact designed by Dodgson to illustrate to his peers in the field of mathematics and logic what he thought was so inherently wrong with their new ideas.

One of Carroll’s favourite ways of doing this is by taking the idea his peers championed and taking them to their logical limits, where they took up an absurd form. In fact, the whole of the Alice adventures take place in a completely new world that can be seen as Carroll's idea of what the world in which the new mathematical ideas were accepted would look like. Consider, for instance, the scene of Alice’s meeting with the Duchess and her baby. Everything is wrong with this world. The Duchess is a very bad aristocrat and a horrible mother, paying no attention to her crying baby. The Cook, if anything, is of the worst kind, putting too much pepper in the soup and throwing pots and pans at her mistress for no reason at all. In the middle of this the baby is a ‘queer-shaped little creature” (p.62) whose legs stick out in all directions. Alice takes it outside, only to find that it turns into a pig albeit with it’s legs sticking out and small eyes like those of the baby! What’s happening here is that Carroll is mocking the idea of continuous functions in topology (then the field of projective geometry). The idea is that if an object is varied in a set manner within certain limits, some of it’s properties don’t change. This was a new idea in Carroll’s time and in Carroll’s opinion a step in the wrong direction from the rigidity of Euclid’s elements that he valued so highly being of the old guard. Ridiculing this idea is easy enough for Carroll. In topology the objects being transformed are usually geometric figures, but he ignores this for a moment as he takes the idea of objects being transformed, takes it to it’s logical limit and comes up with the absurdity of an ‘ugly’ baby (p.62) turning it into a ‘handsome pig’ (p.62).

Another of Carroll method’s of making his points is through clever word play and puns. For example, when the caterpillar advises Alice to “keep your temper”,  if all we do is to find him incredibly rude or at least extremely mysterious we are missing the pun that Carroll intended. In his times, the ‘temper’ was not only used in the sense of anger but also to mean the properties of an object. “Keep your temper.” actually means to for Alice to keep her properties or proportions. In Alice’s tale, this might only mean for her to return to her proper size and proportions, which she is finding very hard to do. However, in the real world it’s a references to symbolic algebra and new mathematical inventions such as imaginary numbers, which as the name suggests have no physical interpretation - or a sense of ‘proportion’.

Later on, in Through the Looking Glass, Alice encounters Humpty Dumpty- the one from the popular nursery rhyme - perched on a very thin wall, and unknown to him very likely to fall. Alice is initially confused when Humpty Dumpty uses words that don’t seem to fit into the context of the sentence in which they are used. When she admits that she doesn’t know what he means, Humpty Dumpty smiles and informs her, “Of course you don't -- till I tell you...”(p.196) This leads up to the following exchange:

//'When I use a word,' Humpty Dumpty said in rather a scornful tone, 'it means
just what I choose it to mean -- neither more nor less.'

'The question is,' said Alice, 'whether you CAN make words mean so many
different things.'

'The question is,' said Humpty Dumpty, 'which is to be master-- that's all.'(p.197)//

Alice is much too confused to ask what he means by ‘master’, and instead relents to his viewpoint for a while, asking him what he means by words he uses in the dialogue that follows. But later when she leaves him she declares to herself, “of all the unsatisfactory people I ever met” (p.203), but never finishes the sentence on account of a loud crash that is nothing other than Humpty Dumpty falling off his wall. The message is clear. Humpty Dumpty is none other than new age mathematicians, who choose to give symbols names as they wish, and who unknown to themselves are in a very precarious position and are soon to fall down to their destruction.

Carroll had a penchant not only for including math and logic in his literary works, but also of making his arguments in the field of logic and math in literary style. Most notable among these is What the Tortoise Said to Achilles (1895), in which Carroll borrows the Tortoise and Achilles from the paradoxes of motion of Zeno. In this piece, the tortoise asks Achilles to convince him using logic to accept the conclusions of a simple syllogistic argument based on the given premises. In the highly entertaining dialogue that follows, Carroll sets up a logical paradox that has yet to properly answered. The paradox deals with the metalanguage, the language that describes language itself. For example “my last sentence was about metalanguage” is a statement of metalanguage, for it describes what a statement of language (and not I) talked about. The purpose of the paradox is to note that metalanguage is itself governed by rules similar to those governing language, and so there can exist a meta-metalanguage that describes statements of metalanguage. But then there also exists meta-meta-metalanguage and so on and so forth until we have an infinite number of metalanguages. This is a problem once one realizes that rule of inference which lets us say that “Socrates is a man” and “all men are mortal” and then conclude that “Socrates was mortal”, is correct because metalanguage says so. But then to validate this rule, there needs to be a rule in meta-metalanguage about this rule. But for that we need a rule in meta-meta-language... And so we have a infinite regress that has never been properly resolved.

Carroll alludes to this problem with the field of logic much earlier in Through the Looking Glass. A dialogue between Alice and the White Knight takes place in the following way:

//'You are sad,' the Knight said in an anxious tone: 'let me sing you a song to
comfort you.'

'Is it very long?' Alice asked, for she had heard a good deal of poetry that
day.
[...]
“The name of the song is called "HADDOCKS' EYES."'

'Oh, that's the name of the song, is it?' Alice said, trying to feel interested.

'No, you don't understand,' the Knight said, looking a little vexed. 'That's what the name is CALLED. The name really IS "THE AGED AGED MAN."'

'Then I ought to have said "That's what the SONG is called"?' Alice corrected herself.

'No, you oughtn't: that's quite another thing! The SONG is called "WAYS AND MEANS": but that's only what it's CALLED, you know!'

'Well, what IS the song, then?' said Alice, who was by this time completely bewildered.

'I was coming to that,' the Knight said. 'The song really IS "A-SITTING ON A GATE": and the tune's my own invention.' (p.224)//

A first the reader himself might be quite confused by the semantics of the Knight. But a closer reading reveals that Carroll is talking about metalanguage. The poem belongs to the language level, the name of the song belongs to the level of metalanguage, but what the name of the song is called belongs one level up in meta-metalanguage. Poor Alice fails to keep this distinction, and gets horribly confused by the answers she receives, though all the Knight is doing is keeping his semantics clean and correct.

It was in these ways that Carroll sought to save the mathematics he knew from the birth of new ideas that were trying to change it into something he was not comfortable with it at all. But he was no martyr. The ideas he was trying to repress were the very ideas that were at the centerfold of mathematics in the decades to come, and resulted in unimaginable developments in human knowledge in ways unforeseen. Without those ideas, the world would have been a much poorer place indeed. But he was no devil either. In at least one place, his contribution is still remembered and debated upon. In other places, which were not the subject of this piece, he had many notable contributions and he is well remembered  for them. But forgetting the issue of mathematical and logical contributions for a moment, we can remember that Lewis Carroll wrote two wonderful tales, tales that have brought supreme delight to countless people across a century and a half and from the looks of it will keep on doing so for a long long time. That is contribution enough.

"President Hosni Mubarak of Egypt resigned his post and turned over all power to the military on Friday, ending his nearly 30 years of autocratic rule and bowing to a historic popular uprising that has transformed politics in Egypt and around the Arab world.?" ([[source|http://www.nytimes.com/2011/02/12/world/middleeast/12egypt.html?_r=2&hp]])

The above is the opening sentence from a story  by the New York Times. In journalism speak it's called the lead. Actually, it's a hard lead, owing to it's direct style that aims to quickly give the reader the most crucial pieces of information and gets him hooked for the rest of the story. What I am employing right now is a soft lead. I am taking my time to reel you in, slowly coming to the point of the story.

I am taking a course in Media Writing this semester. As the name suggests, it's aims to make journalists out of us - not just by teaching us how to write for Media but also other stuff like making a documentary. The instructor is reasonable good, though not great. However, what's great about it is that unlike courses on Fiction Writing that don't help you much beyond the world of story telling, this course teaches you the nuts and bolts of effectively reaching out to an audience, telling them what you need to tell them in the best possible way. Incidentally, I am now in the nut-graph part of my post.

It's very important, to master the art of communication. One of my (our?) heroes Feynman was called "The Great Explainer" because he was so good at teaching. His books and lectures are famous for that very reason. They explain things so simply yet in so deep a manner, that you fully understand the topic. His renowned book QED: The Strange Theory of Light and Matter, written for the layman with no knowledge of mathematics, is frequently a part of graduate physics courses. The reason: He simplifies things to the simplest possible level, but not anymore. That is why the intuitions that he forms in our heads are the right ones. A piece of advice from him that I quoted [[yesterday|http://theboxmove.weebly.com/1/post/2011/02/the-huckleberry-boot-camp.html]], " "Don't say 'reflected acoustic wave.' Say [echo]." Or, "Forget all that 'local minima' stuff. Just say there's a bubble caught in the crystal and you have to shake it out." Nothing made him angrier than making something simple sound complicated."

That is the goal. That was half the goal when I tried to [[explain about falling bodies|http://theboxmove.weebly.com/1/post/2011/02/rebuttal-to-galileo-galellie-galeleilelo.html]]. If you are into the same, trying to learn how to talk to people so they understand you, how to teach them when you have to teach them, then Media Writing is a course you should consider when it is offered in your university. Though perhaps you should wait around for my review of the course once I am done with it.

To him [Landau] fell the tragic fate of dying twice. The first time it happened was six years earlier on 7 January 1962 when on the icy road, en route from Moscow to Dubna, his car skidded and collided with a lorry coming from the opposite direction. The epic story of the subsequent struggle to save his life is primarily a story of the selfless labour and skill of numerous physicians and nurses. But it is also a story of a remarkable feat of solidarity. The calamitous accident agitated the entire community of physicists, arousing a spontaneous and instant response. The hospital in which Landau lay unconscious became a centre to all those his students and colleagues - who strove to make whatever contributions they could to help the physicians in their desperate struggle to save Landau's life. 

"Their feat of comradeship commenced on the very first day. Illustrious scientists who, however, had no idea of medicine, academicians, correspond- corresponding members of the scientific academies, doctors, candidates, men of the same generation as the 54-year-old Landau as well as his pupils and their still more youthful pupils - all volunteered to act as messengers, chauffeurs, intermediaries, suppliers, secretaries, members of the watch and, lastly, porters and labourers. Their spontaneously established headquarters was located in the office of the ~Physician-in-Chief of Hospital No. 50 and it became a round-the-clock organizational centre for an unconditional and immediate implementation of any instruction of the attending physicians. 

"Eighty-seven theoreticians and experimenters took part in this voluntary rescue team. An alphabetical list of the telephone numbers and addresses of any one and any institution with which contact might be needed at any instant was compiled, and it contained 223 telephone numbers! It included other hospitals, motor transport bases, airports, customs offices, pharmacies, ministries, and the places at which consulting physicians could most likely be reached. 
"During the most tragic days when it seemed that 'Dau is dying' - and there were at least four such days - 8-10 cars could be found waiting at any time in front of the seven-storey hospital building. . . . 

"When everything depended on the artificial respiration machine, on 12 January, a theoretician suggested that it should be immediately constructed in the workshops of the Institute of Physical Problems. This was unnecessary and naive, but how amazingly spontaneous! The physicists obtained the machine from the Institute for the Study of Poliomyelitis and carried it in their own hands to the ward where Landau was gasping for breath. They saved their colleague, teacher, and friend. 

"The story could be continued without limit. This was a real fraternity of physicists. . . "
<<<

Nothing really needs to be said.

//June 5, 2011//

//I originally wrote this on Tuesday, April 21, 2009 at 4:12pm. But never posted it. Maybe, this deserves the light of the day.// 

Yesterday at around 4 pm in the morning a drunk driver crashed, or rather crushed, the car of Waheeb Alam. Waheeb Alam was a third year LUMS student. He died on the spot. His two companions were injured. 

Yesterday, at around 11 pm, I attended my first rally. The protest had simple objectives. The drunk driver was politically well connected. The police had, therefore, not properly collected the evidence- perhaps even tampered with it. The first objective was to force the police to properly evaluate the situation and collect as much evidence as possible, and release the reports. The second demand was that blood tests of the driver be taken. These had not been taken in a bid to protect the said driver. The third demand was to arrest the driver and his two companions, as is normal in these circumstances. This had also not been done, and the culprits had been allowed to leave the area. 

Around four hundred LUMS students attended the rally. First the road leading to the site of the accident was blocked off. Later, the rally was moved to Masjid Chowk- which is a major intersection- to create more pressure on the concerned authorities. Everything was conducted peacefully. There were no chants. No emotional speeches. No unnecessary inconvenience was caused to either the Police or passerbys- as far as I could see. After six hours, results started to show. A prominent politician showed up to promise justice. The evidence list was released. Two arrests were made and promises of the third were made. The blood tests were also made (which later came out positive). All in all the whole thing went well. I was happy with how my first rally went. 

However, I still think that it could have been done better. There were certain areas in which improvements could have been made (please note that I have already mentioned the positive points above). The first problem was the problem of internal disagreements made external. The people who had taken up the responsibility of the movement had their disagreements. And very rightly so. Disagreements within any decision making body should not only be allowed but should always be actively encouraged. It is one of the better ways of coming up with better decisions. However, what should also be done is to resolve the disagreements into one final concrete course of action. The followers should never be made aware off the disagreements of their leaders (unless the committee decides there are specific political advantages to be gained from creating that awareness). A united leadership creates the environment of trust that allows the followers to be more united. This was what did not happen completely. The disagreements were made public, different people gave conflicting "orders". Even though it did not cause the type of harm that it might have, it is something to be avoided in the future. 

The second area of improvement was organization, which is to a large extent tied to the above. Even though no overall organization errors were made, on the micro level there was a certain bit of disorganization that I was very surprised to see. I had the perception that LUMS being heavily active in protests, rallies and the like would have strong managers who would be able to efficiently implement decisions made. My perceptions proved to be not entirely correct. I would suggest that the Law and Politics society (or any other society for that matter) should have a trained team which helps any society or group in LUMS to organize rallies and protests and similar events. What most concerns me now was that even though there was an awareness at the top level of the dangers of a suicide attack, no real actions were taken to minimize this risk. In fact, the protesters were not even informed of this risk till the very end. 

The third area of improvement was the dispersal of information. I believe that keeping followers aware of what is going on is essential to keeping a movement going. A dis-informed following is a disinterested one is a general principle that I think is true. Telling followers exactly what the facts are helps keeps rumors at bay, but more importantly it gives them the sense of involvement, which is so essential to keep a movement going. This was not done. The facts were laid out, but not in a simple way. Updates were given frequently, but I believe not frequently enough- especially towards the end. Any future protest should be more careful with this. 

There is a fourth area but I have not properly formulated my beliefs on the issue, and till that time I keep that criticism- if it may be that- in my mind. 

It was a good rally.

!Description<html><a name="Description"/></html>
With the {{{<part aPartName> ... </part>}}} feature you can structure your tiddler text into separate (named) parts. 
Each part can be referenced as a "normal" tiddler, using the "//tiddlerName//''/''//partName//" syntax (e.g. "About/Features").  E.g. you may create links to the parts (e.g. {{{[[Quotes/BAX95]]}}} or {{{[[Hobbies|AboutMe/Hobbies]]}}}), use it in {{{<<tiddler...>>}}} or {{{<<tabs...>>}}} macros etc.


''Syntax:'' 
|>|''<part'' //partName// [''hidden''] ''>'' //any tiddler content// ''</part>''|
|//partName//|The name of the part. You may reference a part tiddler with the combined tiddler name "//nameOfContainerTidder//''/''//partName//. <<br>>If you use a partName containing spaces you need to quote it (e.g. {{{"Major Overview"}}} or {{{[[Shortcut List]]}}}).|
|''hidden''|When defined the content of the part is not displayed in the container tiddler. But when the part is explicitly referenced (e.g. in a {{{<<tiddler...>>}}} macro or in a link) the part's content is displayed.|
|<html><i>any&nbsp;tiddler&nbsp;content</i></html>|<html>The content of the part.<br>A part can have any content that a "normal" tiddler may have, e.g. you may use all the formattings and macros defined.</html>|
|>|~~Syntax formatting: Keywords in ''bold'', optional parts in [...]. 'or' means that exactly one of the two alternatives must exist.~~|
<html><sub><a href="javascript:;" onclick="window.scrollAnchorVisible('Top',null, event)">[Top]</sub></a></html>

!Applications<html><a name="Applications"/></html>
!!Refering to Paragraphs of a Longer Tiddler<html><a name="LongTiddler"/></html>
Assume you have written a long description in a tiddler and now you want to refer to the content of a certain paragraph in that tiddler (e.g. some definition.) Just wrap the text with a ''part'' block, give it a nice name, create a "pretty link" (like {{{[[Discussion Groups|Introduction/DiscussionGroups]]}}}) and you are done.

Notice this complements the approach to first writing a lot of small tiddlers and combine these tiddlers to one larger tiddler in a second step (e.g. using the {{{<<tiddler...>>}}} macro). Using the ''part'' feature you can first write a "classic" (longer) text that can be read "from top to bottom" and later "reuse" parts of this text for some more "non-linear" reading.

<html><sub><a href="javascript:;" onclick="window.scrollAnchorVisible('Top',null, event)">[Top]</sub></a></html>

!!Citation Index<html><a name="Citation"/></html>
Create a tiddler "Citations" that contains your "citations". 
Wrap every citation with a part and a proper name. 

''Example''
{{{
<part BAX98>Baxter, Ira D. et al: //Clone Detection Using Abstract Syntax Trees.// 
in //Proc. ICSM//, 1998.</part>

<part BEL02>Bellon, Stefan: //Vergleich von Techniken zur Erkennung duplizierten Quellcodes.// 
Thesis, Uni Stuttgart, 2002.</part>

<part DUC99>Ducasse, Stéfane et al: //A Language Independent Approach for Detecting Duplicated Code.// 
in //Proc. ICSM//, 1999.</part>
}}}

You may now "cite" them just by using a pretty link like {{{[[Citations/BAX98]]}}} or even more pretty, like this {{{[[BAX98|Citations/BAX98]]}}}.

<html><sub><a href="javascript:;" onclick="window.scrollAnchorVisible('Top',null, event)">[Top]</sub></a></html>

!!Creating "multi-line" Table Cells<html><a name="TableCells"/></html>
You may have noticed that it is hard to create table cells with "multi-line" content. E.g. if you want to create a bullet list inside a table cell you cannot just write the bullet list
{{{
* Item 1
* Item 2
* Item 3
}}}
into a table cell (i.e. between the | ... | bars) because every bullet item must start in a new line but all cells of a table row must be in one line.

Using the ''part'' feature this problem can be solved. Just create a hidden part that contains the cells content and use a {{{<<tiddler >>}}} macro to include its content in the table's cell.

''Example''
{{{
|!Subject|!Items|
|subject1|<<tiddler ./Cell1>>|
|subject2|<<tiddler ./Cell2>>|

<part Cell1 hidden>
* Item 1
* Item 2
* Item 3
</part>
...
}}}

Notice that inside the {{{<<tiddler ...>>}}} macro you may refer to the "current tiddler" using the ".".

BTW: The same approach can be used to create bullet lists with items that contain more than one line.

<html><sub><a href="javascript:;" onclick="window.scrollAnchorVisible('Top',null, event)">[Top]</sub></a></html>

!!Creating Tabs<html><a name="Tabs"/></html>
The build-in {{{<<tabs ...>>}}} macro requires that you defined an additional tiddler for every tab it displays. When you want to have "nested" tabs you need to define a tiddler for the "main tab" and one for every tab it contains. I.e. the definition of a set of tabs that is visually displayed at one place is distributed across multiple tiddlers.

With the ''part'' feature you can put the complete definition in one tiddler, making it easier to keep an overview and maintain the tab sets.

''Example''
The standard tabs at the sidebar are defined by the following eight tiddlers:
* SideBarTabs
* TabAll
* TabMore
* TabMoreMissing
* TabMoreOrphans
* TabMoreShadowed
* TabTags
* TabTimeline

Instead of these eight tiddlers one could define the following SideBarTabs tiddler that uses the ''part'' feature:
{{{
<<tabs txtMainTab 
    Timeline Timeline SideBarTabs/Timeline 
    All 'All tiddlers' SideBarTabs/All 
    Tags 'All tags' SideBarTabs/Tags 
    More 'More lists' SideBarTabs/More>>
<part Timeline hidden><<timeline>></part>
<part All hidden><<list all>></part>
<part Tags hidden><<allTags>></part>
<part More hidden><<tabs txtMoreTab 
    Missing 'Missing tiddlers' SideBarTabs/Missing 
    Orphans 'Orphaned tiddlers' SideBarTabs/Orphans 
    Shadowed 'Shadowed tiddlers' SideBarTabs/Shadowed>></part>
<part Missing hidden><<list missing>></part>
<part Orphans hidden><<list orphans>></part>
<part Shadowed hidden><<list shadowed>></part>
}}}

Notice that you can easily "overwrite" individual parts in separate tiddlers that have the full name of the part.

E.g. if you don't like the classic timeline tab but only want to see the 100 most recent tiddlers you could create a tiddler "~SideBarTabs/Timeline" with the following content:
{{{
<<forEachTiddler 
		sortBy 'tiddler.modified' descending 
		write '(index < 100) ? "* [["+tiddler.title+"]]\n":""'>>
}}}
<html><sub><a href="javascript:;" onclick="window.scrollAnchorVisible('Top',null, event)">[Top]</sub></a></html>

!!Using Sliders<html><a name="Sliders"/></html>
Very similar to the build-in {{{<<tabs ...>>}}} macro (see above) the {{{<<slider ...>>}}} macro requires that you defined an additional tiddler that holds the content "to be slid". You can avoid creating this extra tiddler by using the ''part'' feature

''Example''
In a tiddler "About" we may use the slider to show some details that are documented in the tiddler's "Details" part.
{{{
...
<<slider chkAboutDetails About/Details details "Click here to see more details">>
<part Details hidden>
To give you a better overview ...
</part>
...
}}}

Notice that putting the content of the slider into the slider's tiddler also has an extra benefit: When you decide you need to edit the content of the slider you can just doubleclick the content, the tiddler opens for editing and you can directly start editing the content (in the part section). In the "old" approach you would doubleclick the tiddler, see that the slider is using tiddler X, have to look for the tiddler X and can finally open it for editing. So using the ''part'' approach results in a much short workflow.

//February 12, 2011//
//Posted at: [[http://www.facebook.com/note.php?note_id=10150158892343293]]//

One of the reasons I took up the freshmen Electricity and Magnetism TAship was that I wanted to pass along the baton [1]. It's old news now that the School of Science and Engineering has lost the awesomeness of the first year. Yet some of us from the old guard still try in various ways to improve the standards. Some go along political lines, trying to reform the administration - perhaps pushing for the appointment of a dean worthy of being called a dean. Others try to reform the faculty, pushing for better instructors, complaining against the not so great ones - though I doubt flying paper planes in class is any kind of solution.Yet there are others who try to instill some of the values inculcated into the old guard by the faculty now all flown away, into the younger crop - they will be pushing for peer advising for the next batch, stay tuned!

I have worked in all three departments over the last two years, (mostly as an AD :P), and have faced too little success. SSE dilutes everyday. My latest venture is to reach out to the prospective physics majors in the freshmen. The reason are two fold.

First, I realized that instead of one world class instructor giving freshmen physics lectures with five or six world class instructors providing support in recitations and supporting material, now there is just one world class instructor. 'Sohnai par sohaga' the not-so-good-at-math-wanna-be-biology-and-chemistry-majors-and-other freshmen complaints over the years have resulted in the severe dilution of the freshmen physics and math courses, so that the new classes look more like English composition classes rather than math based ones. Even though this might be a level of the course more appropriate for everyone (I severely disagree) it results in the under training of the prospective physics (and math) majors. I am sure it will even lead up to higher level maths and physics courses becoming much easier over the years because the new students won't be able to handle the harder-should-be-taught material.

Second, we noticed that the percentage of pure science majors in the second batch of SSE was much less than in the first batch. This is not a statistical anomaly. Among the numerous possible reasons, one was that the pure sciences were never pitched to them properly. Now, I deeply believe that people should study and do what they want to do. I would never dream of convincing someone against their will to take up a major or career that they don't want to. That is exactly the reason I want to pitch them the pure sciences. There is a strong pressure created by parents/society/peers on young ones to take up 'practical' career paths that would easily lead them up to good jobs - even if the young ones want to play at something else. This in economic terms is a case of a market failure. Our response. Create an opposing pressure that cancels out the above pressure. Balance out everything and let the young ones pick their own toy.[2]

Till now I have failed miserably. The smart freshmen (read prospective physics majors) don't really come to the tutorials because they don't need to. They don't come to us in office hours because they don't need to. I really should have put more thought into it before taking up the TAship offer. My latest plan is to send out an email to the freshmen and ask them to come talk to us/me if they are interested in physics [3]. Perhaps this will have some effect. But I want better ways. The deadlines for their choice of major is fast approaching and this is the time for action. Ideas anyone?

//[1] Before anyone says so, the other reasons for taking up a TAship were that I wanted an item on my CV and earn some money. But why I took up the EM TAship particularly is as stated.
[2] I won't go into a deep discussion on the rights and wrongs in this because this has already been discussed to death all over space and time. I stand by my position.
[3] This should correspondingly happen with the other majors too. But the spirit should always be to help them decide what they really want to to, and not what you want them to do.//

People are always mistaken about what physicists do.. Let me tell you that all physicists want to do is to write down the laws of the universe on tshirts, so that they can wear them and score on the geeky chics!!
//February 10, 2011//
//Posted at: [[http://theboxmove.weebly.com/1/post/2011/02/rebuttal-to-galileo-galellie-galeleilelo.html]]//

Hassan just [[posted|http://theboxmove.weebly.com/1/post/2011/02/galileo-galellie-galeleilelo.html]] on the misconceptions surrounding falling bodies. Now, he is right that heavier bodies do fall faster than lighter ones when there is air resistance. But his explanation is wrong. Let me go over it all over again and hope that I manage to eradicate a wrong idea from your head.

Let's start with the simple case. When there is no air resistance, for instance when your ball is falling in a vacuum, then it will fall at the same rate whatever it's mass. If you drop a heavy and a light ball they will end up splat on the ground at the same time - exactly - not a nanosecond worth of difference. And this is because of how Hassan explained it to be. When the earth pulls something down, it pulls down proportional to the weight of the body. So heavy bodies get pulled down more than light bodies, and so they fall down at the same rate.

Now let's inject some air into the scenario. Now we have air resistance. And what affects this air resistance? Three things: the type of surface, the surface area and the speed. As far as types of surfaces go, the rougher the surface the more air resistance there will be - with some subtle qualifiers I won't mention. The other thing is the total surface area. That is why a flat sheet of paper falls down slower than a ball of paper. The third thing is the speed. The faster that a body is moving through air, the more air resistance it feels. This is half the reason cars have top speeds. The faster they are going, the more the air resistance and the harder the engine has to work to push them against this resistance. On one side the resistance is increasing as your speed goes up. On the other side, your power is not increasing past a maximum. Eventually, the resistance is equal to the resistance power and you you what physicists call 'terminal velocity'. Terminal in the sense that you can't do better than it. You can't go faster without more power. This is not the reason that lighter bodies fall faster than heavier one.

Let's talk about what happens to the rate now. Does the heavier ball fall down faster than the lighter one? Yes, indeed it does. But why so? The secret is the speed. And Newton's second law. The world's most famous equation is E = mc^2. I bet if it was F = ma instead, Hassan might not have made his mistake.

Let me explain. When I say air resistance, I am talking about the force on the ball that slows it down. Imagine not dropping the two balls from the tower of Pisa. Rather, throwing them down at exactly the same speed. Now the force due to this friction at this starting moment will be same. Right? The speeds are the same and we have made the surface type and surface are the same for both balls. Then there is the force of gravity- the earth pulling down upon the balls. We know that the earth pulls down on the heavier balls more than light balls. So, then the total force that we have on heavy ball is more than on the light ball.

Now the subtle point. When we had no air resistance, the greater mass of the heavy ball compensated exactly for greater force (then just because of gravity) and we had the same acceleration. Now, this does not happen. The greater mass does not compensate for the greater force exactly. Rather, it undercompensates. And so the acceleration of the heavier body is more and so it falls faster and ends up at the bottom of the Tower of Pisa before the lighter ball.

Which is really the real explanation for why the heavier ball falls faster. The balls do not have to reach terminal velocity. They just have to fall and the interplay of air resistance, gravity and masses will be such that the heavy ball will fall faster.

(For the technical minded, the solution to the differential equation of a body falling under gravity with air resistance is determined by two parameters: b, which accounts for the resistance; and m, which accounts for the force of gravity. The solution is a complicated expression involving exponentials which is nevertheless a strictly increasing function of m.)

//Posted at: [[http://theboxmove.weebly.com/1/post/2011/07/scientific-conferences-in-pakistan.html]]//

Turns out scientific conferences at Pakistan can be reasonably good. I had the the chance of attending the National Symposium on Quantum Information Processing held at COMSATS in Islamabad early this April. The defining factor was the keynote speech by the legendary Dr. Sabieh Anwar. The others provided a good encore.

The problem was not with the research. There was some good work being presented. I won't be able to comment in detail, because I am as of yet not too familiar with the field and the work being presented was mostly experimental with a lot of jargon incomprehensible to me. Yet I could say that the quality was better than some of us would have expected.

The problem for me was with the presentation. Only two presenters were able to give a good a presentation, Dr. Sabieh Anwar and Dr. Abu Bakr Muhammad. This might seem like institutional bias. It really is not. There were clear differences in presentations. On one side were people presenting their work, and on the other a pair who was trying to make their work comprehensible to the audience, many of whom were not deeply into the field.

As proof of my being not institutionally biased I will say this out. Dr. Abu Bakr only made a good presentation. He did not talk about anything deep or very exciting. His talk was really the review of a few papers, very accessible and comprehensible to me when I looked at them later. He did not make any deep points, and though this talk was illuminating to me, I doubt it was so much for the real scientists present.

The other thing I noticed was something that has been talked about elsewhere. The conference started off with approximately over an hour of introductory speeches from various administrative members and organizers of the conference who had little to be talk of besides the accomplishments of each other. It was an elaborate set up where everyone got praised by someone or the other.

There was one good thing to remember. Dr. Sabieh and Dr. Abu Bakr made requests multiple times during the conference that the academic community needs to join hands together against the government's idea of dissolving the HEC. By the end, they managed to convince the organizing community of the their views and a resolution was quickly drafted and signed by all present.

It was an interesting conference, giving me faith that more can happen for Pakistan's scientific community, that it can grow to something that can make real and substantial contributions to human knowledge. I have hope.

Two months ago, I made an [[open call|Passing Along the Baton]] for ideas on how to help the freshmen make a more informed choice of major. As a followup we managed to implement a few seminar sessions where we taught the freshmen some mathematics and physics. Applauds to Usman Naseer for coming up with the idea, and him and Umer Ashraf aka Umer Scientist for conducting the sessions. 

Using the age old physics and mathematics technique of generalizing everything in sight, I came up with the following idea. We managed to implement a seminar session of students taught by students. Why not do it for other subjects, and make it open to everyone? Hasnain Lakhani is already doing something along these lines in computer science. 

The problem with college is that you can only take semester big bites. Sometimes, you just one smaller ones and they don't let you take it. But suppose you want to understand group theory but not take the whole algebra course to find out? Why not find five people who are interested in the same thing and get someone who understands group theory to teach you in a couple of sessions over a week?

It's a win-win situation for everyone. The 'students' learn something they want to, and the 'instructor' gets to polish his teaching skills. And hey, don't they say you don't really understand a subject till you can teach it. 

I decided to give it some more thought. We need to reward the instructors a bit more. Since, only science is liable to be taught easily by students still in their undergraduate, I thought of SPADES. If these seminar sessions can take place under the auspices of our very beloved science society, if we work out a scheme where the instructors are rewarded in some way by the society... 

Not sure though if we really need it. I know several people who would be more than happy to teach just for the heck of teaching. 

The market would be reasonable big, I would say. Lots of people hang around the university during the vacations, and nothing better than to learn something new, eh? 

What do people think? Implementable? Doable? Wantable?
I am not afraid of silence. To be silent does not mean you are not communicating. Rather what speeches you can make in the realm of silence to your lover are unmatched by the finest of words said out loud. Nothing can compare to the story that the eyes tell, or the emotion that the touch of the hand to the hand can transfer. Love, fear, longing, happiness, these are all the inhabitants of the country of silence, who are but an unhappy lot in the land of speech. 

How the soul speaks to the soul, can tongues ever speak like that? The lovers kiss under the spring blossom, pure and beautiful, can be a lifetime in which all season come and go, but the tale of the two lovers continues. A tale without a word being spoken, but the experience of it all more powerful, deeper and longer lasting than the best poetry that the tongues and pens of men have carved out.

Silence transcends speech. Speech is the poor beggar at the doors of silence's mansion. Do not be afraid of silence. Walk into the doors, for silence is all accepting. Lose your garments and take a bath in the water drawn by silence in the silent morning from the well. Then be wreathed in the clothes woven by silence in the silent afternoons. Feast at silent table in the evening. Sleep peacefully under the silent full moon in the bed silence has prepared for you. But do not speak. Be silent and be powerful. Feel what is in the air. You will be as rich as the silence. You will have a part in the infinite and never ending treasure of silence.

But be silent.

What do you get when you mate philanthropy with profit-making? Social Entrepreneurship. 

Traditionally, there were in the broad sense two kinds of organizations. One were the capitalist profit making business that in simplistic terms did all they could to mint money with no regard for the type of impact they were making on the world. On the other side were philanthropic and charity type organizations that asked countless donors to give them money so they could do some social good. Then people realized that between the two extremes - the black and white - there was a scale - the shades of gray. The idea was simple. How about create organizations whose goal is to social good but who also earn money to sustain themselves. In other words, cut out the dependence of the charity and goodwill of donors and try to make it on your own.

Take the example of [[CEMEX|http://www.cemex.com/]] who decided to sell cement and other building materials to poor households in Mexico at low cost and with the option of paying in installments. Imagine trying to get donors to pay the bills for the houses of a poor families. At best bet, you would get a couple of hundred - perhaps a few thousand - houses built before funding dries up. CEMEX took up a different approach in their program "Patrimonio Hoy" which started in 1998 and which has since then served over 150,000 families. The difference is clear.

In 1996 the Nobel Peace Prize was given to Muhammad Yunus for starting the microfinance institution, Grameen Bank. This idea is extremely innovative, and in terms of the impact it has made to the world it is simply outstanding. A typical bank does not fund the poor because the poor are unable to pay the heavy installments, and more importantly they can make much more profit by concentrating on the higher strata of society. Step in Grameen Bank and other microfinance institution who fund poor people to start simple businesses for themselves with the loans given out at very low interest rates. A poor unemployed person does not need much. A loan of a few thousand rupees can allow him to set up a small shop or buy the materials needed to start his craft workshop. The cost per person is very low. The overall impact across thousands of people is indeed Nobel Peace Prize winning.

At the recent talk on graduate school applications, Dr. Asad Abidi made two points that I would like to reiterate. The first of these was regarding senior year projects. Don't make gadgets and toys, he said. Everyone out there is making them. You have to stand out and make something that really demonstrates your skills. (My memory is pretty shaky and he might not have used these words, but the general gist is correct).

The second point was his parting message. Pakistan's problems are not going to be fixed by the current generation. They will have to be fixed the new one - us. The future is yours.

Not wonderfully new, I admit. There is something to the connection between it and the first point that I was hoping he would make, but he did not. 

See, a lot of the problems this country faces can be fixed by lazy, incompetent and corrupt politicians being replaced by hardworking, competent and honest ones. Yet, some of those problems can also be solved in different ways. Let me illustrate.

One of the biggest problems this country faces is electricity generation. We need our politicians to approve new dams, set up those new power plants etc etc. They are not going to do it fast enough, if at all. The demand keeps growing and the supply keeps falling behind.

Hassan Bukhari's solution to the above problem is the following. Make a concentrated solar power unit for individual homes that generates enough power to substantially cut down the from-grid electricity consumption. For those of you who don't know, a concentrated solar power unit uses mirrors to reflect sunlight onto a single point, the point heats up, and then you can use that heat to generate electricity or heat water or run an air chiller. These are pretty neat machines and currently have efficiencies much better than photovoltaic (solar cells) based electricity generation. The problem is that the units developed so far (and development is underway all across the world) are so expensive that the electricity savings don't recover costs quickly enough or in the lifetime of the unit.

Hence, the specific technological challenge that two teams from the batch of 2012 are trying to solve during their senior year project is making concentrated solar power units that are cheap, made from locally available material, and highly efficient.

Which is a sort of problem I believe a lot of us should be doing. The whole country is infested with technological challenges in every domain that can be solved by a group of senior year students working for an year. Don't make toys and gadgets. Solve the country's problems by being smart and coming up with solutions that don't require government officers getting off their lazy backs.

To help along with this, Hassan and I had the idea of creating a forum where people from our batch can discuss their senior year projects. Consequently we created [[http://sproj2012.tk/]]. It's a bit late granted, and a lot of people have settled on their ideas, but things haven't been formalized as yet and we hope that this forum will allow everyone to come up with the right sort of ideas for their senior year projects. 

Hala SSE!

A blog run by students from LUMS, mainly from various science majors. It can be found online at [[here|http://theboxmove.weebly.com]].
//February 10, 2011//
//Posted at: [[http://theboxmove.weebly.com/1/post/2011/02/the-huckleberry-boot-camp.html]]//

I attended a talk today that I can only call a 'boot camp', in the way that we were treated by the speaker Dr. A.T. Huckleberry. He worked us hard - very very hard - and in the process taught us something that can never be taught any other way.

The idea that he was trying to drive home was perhaps simple. It wasn't even new. It has been said before. Rather, it was the way he made us realize it that was impressive.

He started off by picking up a very simple thing, the position of a particle. Then he asked us //what we meant by position//. Somebody tried to define position in terms of coordinate axes. //But then what is a coordinate?// Some random mumbling on our behalf, or as he called it //blah blah//. Then, //let me simplify it a bit, what is 'x'?// Blank stares. Some more random mumbling. //blah blah, tell me what 'x' is?// This went on for quite a while. Any answer we gave was not good enough for him. Simply because we did not know the answer. He pushed us. He made fun of us. He picked out problems in our naive views when we dared present them. Yet he kept the pressure on. Kept pushing us to come up with something substantial, but mostly what we did come up with was just //blah blah//.

There were lot of smart people in that auditorium. People from physics, mathematics, computer science. From sophomores to seniors to transfer students. Yet all of us sat there, feeling completely stupid and realizing that we did not know the answer to the most simplest of questions.  No one complained. No one felt bad that we were being insulted. We knew we deserved it. Every bit of it. And finally, when he did reveal the answer, when he did tell us what 'x' really was, I at least wanted to shoot myself. Because it was so simple. It was a simple question with a simple answer. But we did not know it.

People have always said that we must always concentrate on the fundamentals. Not just scientists. I have seen football coaches scream it out in practice, philosophers do it all the time, drill instructors at boot camps do it. I myself have always believed it - something I learned from football. I have never really understood how Quantum Mechanics - let alone Quantum Field Theory - can be taught by spending months on Functional Analysis. Something akin to what Feynman used to do. Daniel Hillis [[describes how he taught him|http://longnow.org/essays/richard-feynman-connection-machine/]], " "Don't say 'reflected acoustic wave.' Say [echo]." Or, "Forget all that 'local minima' stuff. Just say there's a bubble caught in the crystal and you have to shake it out." Nothing made him angrier than making something simple sound complicated."

Yet, when I went through our own little one hour boot camp, did I truly realize what concentrating on the fundamentals really meant. In the way [[Donald Rumsfeld would have said|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/There_are_known_knowns]] it. Before there were things I knew that I did not know. So I used to try to know them. But Huckleberry showed me stuff that I did not know that I did not know - the unknown unknowns. That was humbling.

Huckleberry also showed us the way to go about learning this stuff. He suggested that we always ask ourselves the "minus one question". If do go down deep into some field, we usually stop when we have answered the first question or the zeroth question. He said that we must go down one step more and ask ourselves the minus one question. Smart.

All I wish for is that we had lectures like this every so often, boot campish as they might be.

|Name:|ToggleTagPlugin|
|Description:|Makes a checkbox which toggles a tag in a tiddler|
|Version:|3.1.0 ($Rev: 4907 $)|
|Date:|$Date: 2008-05-13 03:15:46 +1000 (Tue, 13 May 2008) $|

|License:|http://mptw.tiddlyspot.com/#TheBSDLicense|
!!Usage
{{{<<toggleTag }}}//{{{TagName TiddlerName LabelText}}}//{{{>>}}}
* TagName - the tag to be toggled, default value "checked"
* TiddlerName - the tiddler to toggle the tag in, default value the current tiddler
* LabelText - the text (gets wikified) to put next to the check box, default value is '{{{[[TagName]]}}}' or '{{{[[TagName]] [[TiddlerName]]}}}'
(If a parameter is '.' then the default will be used)
* TouchMod flag - if non empty then touch the tiddlers mod date. Note, can set config.toggleTagAlwaysTouchModDate to always touch mod date
!!Examples
|Code|Description|Example|h
|{{{<<toggleTag>>}}}|Toggles the default tag (checked) in this tiddler|<<toggleTag>>|
|{{{<<toggleTag TagName>>}}}|Toggles the TagName tag in this tiddler|<<toggleTag TagName>>|

White tufts of clouds spread across the evening sky. The sun sinks into the west, down out of sight. One shaft of light, one last shaft reaches across the sky from west to east. It hits the white rim of a great tuft turning it into gold. Down north lightening among the evening clouds. A broken heart under a sweat drenched chest.
I go through a rewrite of my belief system every couple of years. Anything written two years previous to your reading it should be considered obsolete and not my opinion in any way.
