New look!

I'm finishing Schwarzschild post II: the Schwarzs strikes back. For the moment, as you can see, several look changes have been made to the blog. For the sake of clarity.

Maybe I add several changes more in the future. Maybe the font is a little bit small...

Edit: It turns out Mathjax doesn't work well with my android phone... Working on it! :)

Edit2 (05/16/16): It turns out I'm a moron and I didn't activate the custom layout in mobile needed for Mathjax to perform its magic. Several issues regarding line breaking in formulae still remain, so I suggest to use your mobile in landscape mode to fully enjoy the math for now :)

Coming back soon!

Two years and a half. 

Two years. And. A. Half.

Lot of things have happened since the last post. Long story short, I have a little bit of free time again, so I'm preparing new posts in the point where I left.

Next stop, Schwartzschild metric.

See you soon!

Coming back soon!

So... 2013... Nice!

Hey, don't look at me that way. It's been a couple of hard months. More than a couple, I get it, but I needed to focus in real life problems, like ending a master and looking for a job. Which I already have... For the moment. The job, I mean. I'm still working in the master.

It's hard, OK? Come to Madrid, they said. You'll have fun, they said... :)

Anyway, thanks for the waiting. I'm returning to the subject as soon as I start to re-read all I have posted before. Last thing I tried was obtaining a parametric form for an easy geodesic, and I failed so hard it's been 7 months since the last entry. I have pending a couple of book reviews and lot of extra work, but I'll do my best.

See you in a couple of months!

Edit: It's been so long I almost forget how to post. Sorry for the mistakes!

So... Why did you say spacetime, again?

Too many post about intentions, not enough about the subject. Sorry.

It's important to fix things in order to stablish a shitty order worth of changing in the future.

As an engineer, I said previously physics -and math models about physics involved in a phenomena- were the key to design and construct cool stuff. For instance, we want to have water from a tap. We know water moves easily -as a fluid- by differences in pressure, so it seems a good idea to pressurize water in order to move it along tubes and conductions. You can fill bottles of water and transport them from a place to another but, is that practical? 

Sometimes it is, but when you want to carry a lot of water from a place to another... Man, you better attack the problem in its Achilles heel, which usually is the fundamental physical principle which gives Nature its "nature". In water, it is differences of pressure -there are actually more ways if you look closely to NS conservation of momentum equation for a fluid, but difference of pressure is quite a good choice.

The same applies to rockets and satellites. 

Let's get it on... A strategy.

As far as I learn how to working out a blog, I expect to expand and improve all subjetcs aborded. For now, the initial strategy for dealing with spacetime problem will be divided in 4 branches:

1. Real old-fashioned-book-hitting research.
2. Real physics and online paper research.
3. General views about what I'm learning along the way.
4. Dealing with dead ends.

Tired of waiting.

So, this blog goes about knowing a little more about spacetime and studying possibilities to warp it. Quite a task. Quite a pretentious big-head-smart-ass blogger, right?

When I told a classmate I was writting a blog, he was pretty impressed about my ability to talk about my exciting experiences in our university's computer center.

As an engineering student with no special fonding in hearing classes, and no classes to attend to neither, computer center is the place I've been into for a couple of months since the beginning of semester. And a lot of things happen here, yeah, but none of them worth of being described in a blog in my opinion.

In my defense I must say I'm working in a couple of projects -studying spacetime is one of them- and an internet conection has been proved to be a better tool than a library chair. And I'm hooked on reddit -first step is to admit it.

There was something, nevertheless, my classmate was right about when we talk seriously about the blog: I'm an engineer, not a physicist.

First Post: What is this all about?

Space, the final frontier... You know the rest, no reason to go on.

I like space. That's the reason I started studying aerospace engineering. Five years -that's a degree and a master, I guess- for finding and answer I already knew when I started: space I would like to be in, simply doesn't exist. There's no a StarFleet. There are no chances of pumping the Falcon into hyperspace. Space travel and exploration today is about probes, rovers, satellites and ISS.
