Week 9 [09.12-15.12.19] Is the lifecycle predictable and can we step out the margins?



Human life in Europe is very similar nowadays. People are born, grow up, go to school, college then found the work, create the family, getting the mortgage loan, go the retirement and end a lifecycle. Is this the life we want? This is the life we require rather. The world's economy and environment create standardized us. But some sort of people are changing their priorities and age does not matter.
The 74 years man in the video below talks about how his life was changed after he was fired in 64 years old, and how he created the start-up 2 years later.



1)      What would you do if you were that man?
2)      Do you think he found the solution for old people? Can you treat it as a reborn?
3)      How do you plan to spend your pension? 
4)      If you asked your grandpa or grandma, they want to create the start-up, what could be the answer?

1) What would you do if you were that man?
I would prefer a simple life in a woods with family each day passing by slowly as we chop wood, prepare meal and play all my games gathered on Steam. I hope so at least.

2) Do you think he found the solution for old people? Can you treat it as a reborn?
Yes, seniors have amazing experience and if they are not sick or having problems with their heads they should consider this approach. It may give their life a new meaning and feeling fresh, a true reborn.

3) How do you plan to spend your pension?
In the house close to the woods, chopping wood, preparing meal and playing all my gathered games. Of course taking care of grandchildren and teaching them useful tricks also counts.

4) If you asked your grandpa or grandma, they want to create the start-up, what could be the answer?
'Oh my gosh, Karol, please stop joking I am to old and tired for this kind of stuff' but my grandpa and grandmas never where a CEO or something so maybe that's why.
It's hard to say, because I just simply can't imagine myself in his age. The idea is great and I think a lot of senior people get power and will to become an entrepreneur. I was dreaming of be able have a good cigar and spending a lot of time talking to other people, young generation, seniors. I know answer of my grandparents and it is "No". Because they don't want too, they are afraid, tired and don't want anything.

Your point of view is great. I just can imagine the grandpa who is playing the games. Especially the games from 2019 in 2059. That is definitely interesting.

Week 4 [04.11-10.11.19] Dark matter

If you don't live in a big city in Poland, you can observe many stars at night. Did you ever wonder how would look our sky in the next millions of years if we would count only on existing proven astrophysical theories and calculations? It would be absolutely empty. All  celestial bodies  in the galaxy are rotating around the biggest black hole in the middle of galaxy (in Milky Way this black hole is 6.4  billion times heavier than our sun)  with such speed that the gravity generated by galaxy’s observable matter could not possibly hold them together. This leads us to  conviction   that something we cannot see is at work and is giving galaxies extra mass, generating the extra gravity that galaxies need to stay intact. Something, that will ensure us that our sky will remain the same as it was a million years ago. The official name of this strange and unknown matter is the “dark matter”. Unlike normal matter, dark matter does not interact with the electroma...

Week 3 [16.03-22.03.2020] Flipping cat physics

Flipping Cat Physics Cats are one of  most common human’s companion. We can see them all the time walking around their own trails and climbing on everything just to be in a center of attention. Although sometimes I can see them trip on something they always fall on their four legs. How is that possible? In the video shown below we can see a youtube video created by Destin Standlin showing how cats rotate when falling. It’s fascinating how they can control their body to rotate. I won't spoil the reason but watch how percisely they control their body, every move is perfect.  Think about it for a second and watch the video presented below.  Link to the video:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RtWbpyjJqrU Did you ever wonder how is that possible? What are your thoughts about this video? Did you pity the cat as it had to suffer through the process of falling so many times (I felt a little bit angry when I was watching this video) ?
