In the powers of ten and light,
Complexity and Potencial dance
the conga of the eternal night...
Curious simple life...
You harbour such ambition!
To die as equals at gravity's shoreline...
An Haiku circa 2003.
"So high !!!
So low !!
So many things
to know..."

Welcome to my homepage. It's purpose is to give you some insight into my persona, curiosity and humour.I'm also a self-styled scientist, writer, inventor, computer programmer, entrepeuneur and social activist.

Current Interests:
Mathematics (Number theory, Topology, Algorithms, Cryptography), Physics (Mathematical Physics, Quantum Mechanics, Many body problem, Gravitation, Instruments and Measurement, Errors and Uncertainty), Astronomy (Telescopes, Meteor counts, Comet and Supernovae searches), Mechanical Engineering (Finite Element Method for cutter simulation, the properties of wood), Electrical Engineering (Automation, Radio, Comunication systems), Chemistry (SonoChemistry, Osmosis aplications), Biology (Genetics, Gene expression and coding, whole organ and tissue culture), Computing (Free Software movement, Linux (KDE Programming, Astronomy software, driver development), Reverse Engineering, Ontologies), Behaviour (Human, Primate and Dog Behaviour, Population simulation through Agent networks, Human mating rituals, Lie detection), Education (Child development, The Ferré Method, Science education), Politics (Anarchism, Voting Systems, In-buit fairness organisations), Philosophy( Ethics, Atheism, Human Stupidity), Writing ( Science Fiction, Scientific Writing Style, English and French writing).As you can see, I just love a problem.
I prefer a problem to a solution, for a problem can have many solutions... With time, a problem becomes a best friend and gives you solace from age. It's a shame, for people and society have developed quite a diferent stance to it... A problem is something to be avoided and shunned away...
A problem tests the measure of a Man.
