The video is the one that's named " What does a Stone Sound like"



Is this guy from Mars? He is certainly not entirely human...

simply marvelous.



I see the exact opposite there: This wonderful man is more human than most of us.

At one time, the term used might have been, "Renaissance Man", and to my way of thinking such still effectively defines both the man and his approach.

He is actually following in the footsteps of others that have made the kind of discoveries that can only be described as fundamentally changing our meager abilities to understand and thus deal with the situation in which we find ourselves. Just like Maxwell, Bohr, Einstein, etc. I see amazing similarities in approach here.

A young Einstein used to sit and drink wine with physicists and mathematecians and discuss the ramifications of the then emerging atomic theory long into the night, just as this fellow describes sitting around drinking Ouzo with his friends and discussing what a stone would sound like. Whoa. A session like that must have been is the kind of stuff that lights my fire as well.

I also again see the situation we describe in our times as, "thinking outside the box," with that "box" having the common denominator of the accepted approach, the academic situation where many are taught not what they can do, but sadly what they canNOT do. This fellow was not hampered by having been subjected to the rigid conformity of the university, he was just investigating something that was interesting to him. He is literally yet another Amateur Scientist, who, since the word "Amateur" is derived from "Love" and "Craft" (Fr.), his Love of the Craft drives the project at hand. Not looking for recognition, fame, fortune or any of that worldly guff, but rather simply having fun discovering the spine of the universe (universe = literally, "one word") that God has wrought.

Seek and Ye Shall Find.

Ask and the door shall be opened.

It is the glory of God to conceal a matter; to search out a matter is the glory of kings.

The pursuit of excellence should be seen as the ultimate reason we were created IMO, and that is a human, not a "Martian" (Martians? Have you ever seen any?) trait.


The kind of Amateur Engineer who can see the spine of a mathematical relationship as a real 3D entity and then proceed to model it on a toilet paper tube.

That's my kind of human being.

After watching that video (thanks for the pointer BTW!) I would like to spend some time with the fellow.

And I know beforehand that we'd get along superbly.

Or, in the words of our very own Renaissance Man and CEO of PGMusic, we would Have Fun together...
