Text of the page (random words):
3 2014 by glenys and richard thomas mann time and my friend i received today an email from an old schoolfriend ignore his modesty he is stupendously clever and has a lifetime of outstanding achievement osf i am trying belatedly to refine my mind by reading a better quality of book richard in reading the magic mountain by thomas mann the following thoughts were triggered in the magic mountain thomas mann discusses the paradox that dull days when nothing much happens seem to chug along with excruciating slowness at the time yet afterwards that same period in your life seems to have passed in a flash conversely exciting days pass all too quickly at the time but stretch out luxuriously in our memory we measure time on looking back by events recalled the more we recall the more ticks of the clock the slower time seems to have passed as a child events cut deeper into the vinyl of our memory banks and time passes more slowly as we get older and remember less time seems to fly as a child we project future time from past time with our crowded memories a weekend seemed to stretch ahead like an eternity richard do you read german are they different books the originals and the translations i have made a note to read some thomas mann my mind certainly requires a lot of refining after reading your reflections about time i have to ask you if time is nothing but a human invention its physical reality existing only in the brain that would make all experiences including memories in the present or am i way off beam if there is no time and all we experience is motion then i have to wonder about space for there is nothing about that or its measurement that is independent of motion are the dimensions of time and space therefore convenient figments of the imagination used to describe motion if so what a productive leap of the imagination einstein s notion of space time and time dilation effects highlight the inadequacies of prior descriptions and call into question our very ideas of space and time i see similar issues have recently been mooted by quantum theorists do we need some new basis for describing motion all measurement depends on distinguishing the harmonies of motion from the discords again subjective if you used the axiom of time you d call them simultaneous events whatever that means or am i showing the signs of advanced senility put me straight it is urgent i m beginning to enjoy these delusions osf i wish i did read german richard we have been through the concept of time and yet again we are in a agreement it is highly subjective at least as far as personal experience is concerned so time exists only as part of the equation rate of motion distance time time has no independent existence correct the magic mountain is set in a swiss sanatorium for people suffering from tb before there was effective treatment it proceeds at a leisurely pace but you do feel that you are being guided by a highly intelligent person i read a few chapters and then read something else for a change before going back to it but it welcomes me back quite warmly and i don t find that i have lost track of the plot because there really isn t one i post this conversation in the hope that i raise this blog to the quality of its readership and look forward to my continuing refinement here is a link to the point about quantum time and space note the fourth paragraph from the end i really am out of my depth can anyone shed some light 18 comments january 21 2014 by glenys and richard trustee from the toolroom from time to time one seeks relief from agonising self examination abstract meanderings and quasi political anxieties nevil shute s trustee from the toolroom is just the ticket characterisation may be a little wooden but circumstance confers depth keith is a practical engineer of humble background who has learned on the job happily married though childless his wealth and earnings are meagre he makes miniature models in his basement writes for an enthusiasts publication and corresponds with his readers worldwide he has never been out of england his sister has done rather better and is married to a retired naval lieutenant they take it upon themselves to sail half way round the world with a view to settling in vancouver leaving their ten year old daughter in the temporary care of keith and his wife in what he regards as an ensuing legal obligation though beyond normal expectation keith leaves suburban london and travels to an uninhabited pacific coral island he has hardly any money and has to arrange a free air trip to honolulu and two thousand miles onwards a lift from an illiterate seafarer with no formal knowledge of navigation who has sailed from san francisco in a sloop he designed and built himself the trip home includes afternoon tea in washington state the writing is immaculate and can be beautiful even the technical engineering details and intricacies of sailing make compelling reading to me largely incomprehensible though shall i say the novel is somewhat naive in its story line it is subtle too for the plot takes all the tiny threads and ties them up securely except for one perhaps in authentic hollywood tearjerker style yes i have to say i shed a few tears and was left with important reflections on wealth duty reward deference with dignity and happiness though conscious of his name i knew nothing of nevil shute wikipedia tells me he was a popular writer and also after leaving oxford university as nevil shute norfolk a highly successful engineer who formed his own aircraft construction company 21 comments december 12 2013 by glenys and richard 1066 and all that i break silence to report on the battle of hastings 2014 time team is a long running tv programme with archaeological digs since no archaeological evidence of the battle of hastings has ever been found english heritage invited the programme to dig at battle abbey time team also also did a survey and assessment of caldbeck hill a nearby challenge to the traditional site but virtually ignored nick austin s work at crowhurst the results were aired a couple of weeks ago and archaeology remains absent that left it possible to assert that harold took up his position at the roundabout featured in this video from nick austin tagged battle of hastings 14 comments september 11 2013 by glenys and richard my last post wordpress have decided quite understandably to start advertising on my sites unless i pay a fee now i have other priorities than to preen a false sense of self importance and i do not wish to subject my visitors to a commercial platform at times and in appearance undisclosed to me and in which i have no say i shall therefore cease blogging i thank my loyal readers and visitors for their endurance and wordpress for their superb hospitality september 7 2013 by glenys and richard seasoned bland skies a cold unshifted dullard breeze with sense outworn as of a threadbare dream in grey to dampen all that might a spirit ease no fresher sound but muffled poundings seem to flatten highest reaches to a plain or aspiration to a wanton grin that renders hope and worthiness insane becalmed to ever neutral ways akin outwardly still but sprung with tightened coils far distant storms now on their mettle stand as armies do when hungry for the spoils marauders run their vessels on the sand a surging blood of rage distends the veins steeds champ and hold upon on their clanking reins once in a frigid sulk hope thus awakes black skies and thund rous rain in fanfare blast have scattered all before them for our sakes old summer s heat restores a heady past as through this tired vessel now does course fresh fired youth bent on that azure dome where sultry peace descends to quell the force in lazy melding with a loving home make haste to seize this rapture by the throat for winter with his dark and gloomy face will shrink before an armour d coat bedeck d in frills of summer s breezing lace no more shall i resign to doom s despair but breathe instead this free and giving air 1 comment august 13 2013 by glenys and richard once i was undecided now i m not so sure coptic icon of the miracle of five loaves and two fish wikipedia as far as the propositions of mathematics refer to reality they are not certain and as far as they are certain they do not refer to reality albert einstein mathematics may be defined as the subject matter in which we never know what we are talking about nor whether what we are saying is true bertrand russell every number has a successor giuseppe peano axiom a system based on arithmetic cannot be both complete and consistent moreover no system can be shown to be consistent kurt godel paraphrased taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven he gave thanks and broke the loaves then he gave them to the disciples and the disciples gave them to the people they all ate and were satisfied and the disciples picked up twelve basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over the number of those who ate was about five thousand men besides women and children matthew s gospel to what extent may i ask are the axioms of mathematics based upon observation do the consistencies of mathematics merely ape the consistencies of the universe if every number has a successor then 1 1 2 doubtless this is based on the observation that when we place one pebble beside another we have two the experiment is repeated so often without contradiction that we cannot doubt it yet what prevents a third pebble appearing might such an observation be part of a consistency inaccessible to the human mind because it is of another hypothetical universe if indeed all mathematics is ultimately based upon observation is it hardly surprising that by its use we are able to describe our universe and make predictions about it with a consistency that belongs not just to us but to the universe at large experiments are not always as clear cut as the pebble count false observation an inevitability arising from inescapable human weakness and faulty description by axiom leads to incompleteness and inconsistency in its own right thus was euclid s geometry built upon his parallel axiom which he was wise enough not to attempt to prove more than this though we have no true knowledge of the nature of consistency itself let me then not be too sure of myself and my conclusions 9 comments august 9 2013 by glenys and richard unwritten dream an aching in the bones or some such burden of the unexpressed brings halt once the world moved and swayed the spirit now it rests still all outward sense of being erased light entered at the first through open eyes a mother s voice and the touch and smell of her nurture told when alone now the vessel of life cast motionless on untrammelled seas is raised by the might of mass beneath ripples play to a trifling breeze though the finger traces among the waters nothing holds and soon the memories close over lost to the deep 2 comments july 28 2013 by glenys and richard conquest apprenticed to write i am sometimes dull sometimes vaguely promising my work is a chore always the master of grammar stands there the shadow of his cane across the sky his assistants punctuation and spelling merciless in their condemnation stab and wound to death ignorance lifts me cruelly to its massive shoulder where briefly i glimpse distant sunlit vistas then it chains me again in its depth of darkness noise and folly i feel the gentle embrace of poesy may she purge the demons take my hand and weave for me shimmering flashes of colour in silken threads of truth 19 comments july 10 2013 by glenys and richard perfect imperfection my dear departed father in law was a self proclaimed perfectionist that i suppose was why his daughter s choice of husband rankled so no screw left he unscrewed no smear on a wineglass no appointment missed an impossible standard to follow and he knew it on retirement he took to restoring pioneer motorbikes with relish he travelled around the countryside calling in at remote farmsteads searching under hedges and pulling at rusted pieces of metal with faithfully rendered delight he scoured the classified advertisement columns formed liaisons with the like minded and conducted negotiations at which he was a master to secure for himself that missing component in order to complete his to me motley collection of parts soon he led me to his workshop to view this innocent mound of scrap preening himself in carefully measured pride this is when the real work begins laddie over the ensuing months i marvelled at the miracle that unfolded before my eyes it was like time lapse photography in reverse first the frame in sand blasted smoothness lacquered on unblemished black reflecting the summer sun then the chromed handlebars and leather saddle hung with a leather saddle bag authentic lighting and studded leather belt transmission the wheels appeared with fitted tyres and the exact fuel tank sign written in tattoos of unwavering lines and logo in silver on glistening royal blue all of it true in every detail to the traditions of the ariel motorcycle company not finished yet laddie throughout his highly successful office career engineering had been his secret love now that love was near consummation if the frame had been a miracle the engine was an act of divine creation attended to with redoubled energy and devotion then one day i saw my attic hero impeccably clad astride a live gazelle it breathed regular puffs of white smoke as it leapt across his neat suburban lawn my father in law was ready for the annual run from epsom downs to brighton in which of course he excelled many ancient motorcycles were thus born again he amassed a large collection and considerable notoriety final acknowledgment of his preeminence came with a visit from the brigadier who asked him for a fee of course to restore his rare but still assembled douglas the retired senior officer produced remarkably a spare fuel tank it was genuine but cracked and was to serve as a model for work on the scruffy original plans were drawn the telephone lines buzzed specialists were consulted and a year or more later the brigadier came to collect an immaculate and shining passion i had to tell him said my father in law dolefully when i called he wasn t very pleased what s that i restored and fitted the wrong tank the wrong tank i confess i gloated not the one with the crack yes thenceforward we understood each other my father in law and i almost perfection is for god and not for man 13 comments july 8 2013 by glenys and richard brief encounters how long do they take to charge that question had become tedious whatever happened to english reserve though this time they weren t english about two hours and how long does it last oh about fifty miles how does it do on the hills round here all right though it has a job on the one in fours we re from the unided states i omitted to ask which part really are you heading for north cornwall with its long sandy beaches or hidden...
