No time...

I stopped putting up poems on the blog for two main reasons:
- I haven't been writing any new poems ( because I had no time).
- I felt like I didn't have the time to keep the blog running and updated.

Both of those reasons, or excuses should I say, go back to the subject of having no time.
I think everyone has this issue of having no time, right? Sometimes I say if only there was an additional hour in each day; I would say that 25 hours would be enough, but 24 hours just isn't.

We'll lets do some math, a day contains 86,400 seconds. How is that not enough to finish what we have to do? An extra 3,600 seconds, an hour, will not really affect anything. We do not have enough time for anything, because we waste our times doing basically nothing useful. Then we make up for that wasting of time by reducing our sleeping time, which negatively affects the way our brains function. With a tired brain, we would be less effecient and it would take us more time to do things that we would normally do quickly. See where this goes? It might not always be a direct relationship between wasting our times and finishing things we need to do, but in the end, the two points are related.

So my new motto is that, you don't have time to do anything unless you make time.
When you want to go out, in the middle of a busy week, you make time for it. Well if we make time for everything the way we do for recreational things, then our problems would be solved.

So what I'm trying to say is that I'm coming back to my blog, but I'm not posting poems like I used to. I'm not making a new separate blog just because this one has several poems dated 6 months back, but there might not be any more poems on here. I'm going to make time to write here. I think I have some thoughts to share.

The Firewall Paradox

This article is (sort of) an expansion of a Twitter thread I wrote in January 2017 in an attempt to explain some of the work Emirati theoretical physicist Ahmed Al Mheiri was involved in. You can find the thread here: https://twitter.com/7anooch/status/826043463158337536 Any comments or questions are welcome. Modern physics has made immense progress over the last century or so, with general relativity and quantum mechanics at it's foundation. We've made countless tests of Einstein's general relativity, which have all passed with flying colors. We've discovered a whole world of sub-atomic particles. Our smartphones wouldn't exist without quantum mechanics, GPS wouldn't exist without general relativity.   General relativity (GR) and quantum mechanics (QM) are the two cornerstones of modern physics. The problem is that they don’t happen to be the best of friends. GR applies to large scale things (think: galaxies and stuff), quantum mechanics applies ...

What Happened in 1925

About 6 weeks ago I posted something about what I learnt when I started researching through those Arabic books. Now its time that I let you know what I actually learned. It's quite fascinating and I learned a lot. It also wasn't as tiresome as I thought it would be. So here goes, a brief history lesson for you all. The first time I heard about this, I found it hard to believe. Not because it didn't make sense, but because I found it hard to believe that I had gone through my life without hearing a single word about this, without knowing it ever existed. I shall assume that most of you don't know anything about it either; excuse me if you do. Iran. A country the Arab world is not exactly good friends with. You could also generalize and include the rest of the world into the previous statement, with Iran's suspicious nuclear program and all. To keep things short, there was an Arab land in what is not southern and southwestern Iran. It was its own Arab state even ...

I spent a lot of time in thinking of what poem I’m going to post first, since I’m just starting, most of my Arabic poems simply suck. At least that’s just my point of view about them; whatever I write, no matter how shitty it turns out to be, people say that its great, and I have no way of knowing if they’re being sincere or not. I decided on a poem that was really hard to write, maybe the hardest one I’ve written; it’s not even complete. It’s the first poem I tried to write 3ala ba7ar, or ma3arf maybe it’s the first one where I succeeded in doing so. I haven’t been able to do that in any other poem I tried to write afterwards; that probably indicates how long a road I have to down in order to be a good poet. Ktabt bs 5 abyat, hayail I really like, ana katbeh 3 abyat zyadeh bs a7s y5arboon 3al g9eedeh bdal may3adloonha. Its still incomplete to me, bs I couldn’t manage to add anything to it without ruining it. I love this poem because through writing it I discovered that ayshay maktoob ...
