Making Money smile

Ok actually this post is not about making money - this post is about space trash or old satellites and what to do about it or with it.
I'm sure there is a least one person who has already a plan how to do it but I was wondering why the space agencies all around the world just dispose of their old satellites instead of inventing a way to recycle their satellites.
Yeah well let's just burn all the gold and other costy stuff - to hell with it...Oh and of course we do not need to know what happens to those satellites - this could be a new field of study - what has happened with all those satellites during their time in the orbit and what has happened with the instruments...

I'm sure this whole recycling business is promising - you will get a lot of money to remove the old junk satellites to make space for new ones and you'll get a lot of money for research and of course you'll get your hands on some really costy materials....




A new age of democracy?

, , , ...

I just had a funny idea about a new form of goverment - similiar to Open Source Projects....
What about a "open source country"?

Actually democracy should be like an open-source project but what about all that secrecy - I'm not allowed to know what is happening and what our beloved politicians are doing. Strictly confidential bullshit...

I think it would be funny -

Germany published under GPL with copyleft ^^ - transparent governing smile

I know - hell of an idea - and how can you implement this idea?

Maybe you have an idea?


Edit:

Ok some more things I'd like to add.

You could compare our current democracy to a big software company because

- they want your money smile
- if somethings goes wrong they try to cover it up
- they want to get as much control as possible
- you are always supected to try to cheat them and steal their important ideas or their money
- they claim that they are the only ones who can solve the problem
- somehow they dont want to listen to you when you have a problem


About Snarland some physicists and some crazy ideas in the morning

,

A few days ago I had this idea in my mind, a part of a dream, some pieces of memory or whatever...

Some physicists were trying to do something. Somehting? Yes, just something.
I do not know what they really wanted to do but let me first give you the details I remember:
This something they were plotting had something to do with the sun and another planet. Again it is just another planet. I do not know if it was Jupiter or Neptune or Mercury.
It was an experiment and therefore they needed a planet and the sun.
And they feared the outcome. At least one of them. So he prepared a place, or better a hiding place (maybe even a bunker). This bunker was located in what looked like a regular super market if you leave out the fact that they were stocking up certain food. And this place had something to do with Snarland. Maybe it was Snarland or maybe it was just the name of the experiment...
I don't even know if I got the spelling right- maybe it was Snarkland or whatever wink
Sound pretty crazy to me but I found it somehow interesting and tried to remember all of this.

And shortly after this I wondered about our physical world. About time and space and such things.
And I remembered that time is influenced by movement. And a thing like that huge masses bend space. And what it would be like to travel faster than light.
Maybe it would be like flying at super-sonic speed. And maybe it is not the air but the time or the space (very abstract...) you need to, well pierce through. I was really amused by that thought. Time beeing something material as air. Time beeing compressed in front of a moving object and when you go faster and faster....something like a boom - well what exactly would happen (it would be funny to able to hear the time-barrier).

Well I certainly got carried away by crazy ideas, but it was amusing and somehow reassuring that at least in my mind there are no clearly defined boundaries to what is possible wink




Eine kleine Revolution?

Marvellous sadness...

Something sad, something beautiful?!
I don't know but after watching some truly interesting movies I just wondered wether something really sad can be really beautiful..
I think sadness as an emotion or feeling is something very beautiful - just listen to the soundtrack of Babel or 21 Gramm.

Enough of sadness and back to the facts:

Since my last entry many things have happened. I have learned about the trash isles here in Braunschweig, was overturned and fell into the water (three times!) during a boat tour with my colleagues and went to the Magni festival...

Its just bits and pieces but at least I feel it was a good decision to go to Braunschweig.
I have met a lot of nice people around here and it is really fun (although I miss my other friends and would like to share those things happening here with them...)

Well at last something to think about (or better to say - i'm in the "thinking mood")

Eine Melodie aus dem was niemand kennt
Ein Lied für die, die man verkennt
Eine Komposition für die Gedanken
Die in Stille einst versanken
