:D Hahaha, I can hear the screams, "year of what?!?" I suppose that is exactly the reaction they would like this project to fix.

Their official website is "here.":http://www.wyp2005.org I'm too busy right now to read their plan in detail, but I whole-heartedly wish the project to become a success. You see, I'm a physicist by training and profession, and any attempts to make that sounded more cool is very welcomed. ;)

I truely, madly, deeply like the subject. And the decision I made not to switch to engineering on my 2nd year of uni is one of the best decision I have ever made in my life. Physics never bothered me much in high-school, but it didn't get me very excited either. That was until I was exposed to _real_ physics. It's beautiful, and wonderful, and I was much entertained in my 3 years at "Mahidol's Physics Department.":http://www.sc.mahidol.ac.th/scpy/

I took a detour afterward to enter the "photonics":http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&oi=defmore&q=define:photonics field. (and took a fair share of bitching from my _purer_ peer) That was largely a financial decision, as nothing beats fundamental sciences in the sense of logic & simplicity that it conveys. It is like talking to mother nature herself.

I used to do tutoring for a few years, not just for the money, but also because I think I'm a farily good teacher. I believe most people hate it because high school science teachers are crap. _Nobody_ should have to remember hundreds of formulae to understand Physics. And nobody should have to be forced to learn it. We are _already_ curious about it since forever! What's out there in the universe? Why's the sky blue? How come we don't fall down if the earth is round?

*side note* "Stephen Hawking":http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephen_Hawking was born on January 8, 1942, exactly 300 years since the birth of "Galileo Galileo.":http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galileo_Galilei And they were both great scientist in their time.

Einstein was born March 14, 1879, and Chris came to earth March 12, 1979. Another 2 days and it will be exactly 100 years. _Coincidence?_ I think not.
