SG+Week+of+February+4th


 * Monday, February 4, 2008 -** Today the majority of class was spent discussing particle physics, Einstein's Theory of Relativity, Hesinburg's principle of Uncertainty, etc. etc. It was really interesting and I'd like to spend more time discussing such matters. For the first time in ages, I felt I was actually more fully understanding and learning about particle physics. The past week I didn't update my logbook because the majority of my class periods consisted of me reading __A Tour of the Subatomic Zoo: A Guide to Particle Physics.__ These readings took up such long periods of time because frankly, I wasn't fully understanding the content of the text. Thus, to put anything on my logbook, to put any sort of "summarization", would have simply been false and me regurgitating information that I simply didn't understand. After having a sort of "lecture" on the readings (even though at times we strayed from the topic a bit) was much more insightful and now I can turn to the readings to more fully comprehend its content. Today will consist of me finally attempting to restate what the text states, but with my own words. If time doesn't permit since class time was cut short today, then tonight will at least be the beginning of such statements.
