Tesla and Buckyballs

Went to the Science Centre today with Hann. Hann has come out with new ideas for our outings since movies have become quite a routine that sometimes it gets a little mundane. (routine and mundane seems to be synonymous... but u know what I mean...)

Remember the previous time was like 4 years ago I think. Really glad that I didn't remember much of it this round, if not then it wouldn't be so fun! We had lunch at Macs, and so glad we adhered to the "Frugal Act" and both only spent about 8 dollars.
I shall keep it short, since I'm actually half way studying pneumonia.
The visit was quite fun, and the most fascinating part is the InfoComm area, which is new I think. You can draw pictures using infrared, different materials and colors can be used and everything is manipulated by a pointer. Oh, and the most amazing thing is the screen that is used by Tom Cruise in Minority Report- the touched screen kinda thing... Oh! But too bad it only allows one move at a time. The Infocomm interview was cool and hilarious too, it was like some video conferencing. I like all the simulations the best.
Well, I find the Physics part rather boring, as they're taking about Nanotechnology. I tried very hard to read and understand but it got quite tedious eventually. Let me see what I can recall... Buckyball, Nanotubes... and well, the use the nanotechnology for drug delivery.
The rest of the visit was not bad, nothing changed much except that they removed the aviation display... which is so sad, coz I was looking forward to sitting inside the helicopter once again, and visit the simulated control tower, and definitely to revisit the communication machine that I once like to play.
Well, at least I got to see the Tesla demonstration. It was scary I should say, when the electric bolt was firing away, especially when those people holding the sticks, directing it to the electricity. Well, the sticks contain fluorescence, and fluorescence requires an input in order to emit light, however, these fluorescence sticks lit up just by being in the proximity of the Tesla emission. It was definitely quite amazing. Hann said, it is a safe source of energy, and last time they used to have a human situated inside there to prove that it's very safe. I think it's a risky thing to do.

Tomorrow will be the last day of our mid-sem break. Anyway... Not much of a mid-sem break I should say.
