A glimpse into the world of an engineer/physicist who turned translator and writer.
Chance Favors the Prepared Mind (Louis Pasteur) God Doesn't Play Dice With the Universe (Albert Einstein)
Prelude
Welcome to Dice With the Universe!
Generally, I am going to put some thoughts from my life here. They will usually have to do with my translation work or with my writing. Your comments are welcome.
Thanks.
The title of the blog, for those interested, is a part of a paraphrase of Albert Einstein's words -- "God doesn't play dice with the universe." The words originally meant Einstein's scepticism about Quantum Physics (that gives a statistical chance of an event occurring), but I use this phrase as a general guideline to life. Things don't happen randomly. If we want to succeed we need to make it happen ourselves.
I am 36, separated and a father of two. I am a Materials Engieer and a Physicist by education. I am a Materials Engineering PhD student. I also write science fiction/fanasy.
I was about to post how strange it was that most of the snow disappeared within a week. As far as I can remember from my childhood in Ukraine, this usually took much longer. Anyway, this post was foiled by a relatively heavy snow falling since this morning. Go figure.
