Something not enough people have been discussing about Oppenheimer is just how accurately they portray what the wonder and awe of physics feels like. I remember watching the thought sequences and near obsession Oppenheimer had with stars and quantum mechanics, and between the visuals and the music, it just resonated *so hard with me.*
The phrase, "can you hear the music?" so perfectly describes what made me fall in love with physics in the first place. It's something so *beyond* the scope of human existence; a hidden score that the universe harmonizes to. I so often feel like movies either downplay science or glorify it to seem less taxing and tricky than it is, but I feel like Oppenheimer found the sweet spot. To quote someone I saw review the trailer, they "made scientists (and for that matter physicists) cool again." Anyways, just thought that was neat and figured I'd share my nerdy little thoughts since there's so much barbenheimer everywhere and I can't seem to find just Oppenheimer appreciation. Do love barbenheimer though.
The Lament for Icarus by Herbert James Draper
•omnia iam fient quae posse negabam - everything which I used to say could not happen, will happen now
•poeta nascitur, non fit - the poet is born, not made
•qui dedit benificium taceat; narrat qui accepit - let him who has done a good deed be silent; let him who has received it tell it
•saepe ne utile quidem est scire quid futurum sit - often, it is not advantageous to know what will be
•sedit qui timuit ne non succederet - he who feared he would not succeed sat still
•si vis pacem, para bellum - if you want peace, prepare for war
•struit insidias lacrimis cum feminia plorat - when a woman weeps, she is setting traps with her tears
•sub rosa - under the rose
•trahimir omnes laudis studio - we are led on by our eagerness for praise
•urbem latericium invenit, marmoream reliquit - he found the city a city of bricks; he left it a city of marble
•ut incepit fidelis sic permanet - as loyal as she began, so she remains.
the way my academic arrogance manifests in me as harshly critiquing others' work but then lashes out when somebody else does the same to me
Man cannot remake himself without suffering, for he is both the marble and the sculptor

There is something so comforting, so soothing about a mug of hot chocolate. No matter how old I am, I think chocolat chaud will always have the ability to take me back to special times, when all of the world's problems seemed to melt away by consuming one simple beverage.

GOOD DAY TO EVERYONE !
Greetings!
My name is Osito, and i've been feeling very sick lately 🤧.
After my human mom took me to several vets, ran many tests, and bought me a lot of medicine , yesterday I was finally diagnosed with a neurological problem, left vestibular syndrome. It is treatable, yes, but i need to get an urgent MRI to discard tumors or strokes. My hooman mom doesn't have much money left since she's been unemployed for a while, and the money she earns from commissions isn't enough for this exam.
She can't do more commissions right now because she already has so many ( thank you people 🙏❤️), and during the day she takes care of me and my grandma , who is chronically ill and at night she work doing comissions and illustrations too! So please help me to afford this examen wich is a cerebral MRI and it cost 413,83 USD ( 417.000 CLP)
HELP ME TO REACH THE GOAL !
You can donate by paypal wich is

Please share ❤️❤️❤️ me, my grandma and my hooman mum will be very grateful ! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

I am among those who think that science has great beauty. A scientist in his laboratory is not only a technician, he is also a child placed before natural phenomenon, which impress him like a fairy tale.
