I started writing again because I am feeling I can’t still express my ideas in English very well in daily life. This is very frustrating.
I would say I can finally settle down Australia, Sydney. I have been experiencing a lot of things. This country of course is different either from Japan or the U.S.A. And, I am also working for Taiwan. To be honest, it is not easy to express my thoughts to anyone even I am using my native language. It is too complex because I need to be careful for four countries and its people. If I had lived only in Japan, I would have never thought about this. And, if I had lived only in Japan and U.S.A, I would have never thought about either. I am an experiment physicist working for Taiwan, in Australia, with sometime American, and as Japanese. (By the way, I am coming to the U.S. for experiment from Sep.16-21)
I haven’t written my thoughts down just because I couldn’t be honest. I could not write my thoughts with correct words, right logic, and appropriate politeness. I am a physicist, I would like to express my idea simply but not by thinking simply. The truths with simplicity have to be extracted carefully by my thinking based on my honest observation and comfortable amount of my research. However, my honest thoughts sometime hurt someone, might make someone angry. And also, I would like to be fair for everyone. So, I just couldn’t have written my thought here.
As I said to my friends, my purpose of life is to build the best character as possible throughout what I do in my life. Family is one of most important things but I am a single now so I don’t need to take so much time for them, I mean, my future family. But, the other thing is work. Working as a physicist gives me chances to contribute to the society and world. By being a physicist, what I am doing is expanding accessible future possibilities of human beings to strengthen probabilities of survival of this species. And, that is my definition of “intelligence”. That’s why I am challenging myself every single day.
As a scientist, I never forget this quote.
“Science is made by men, a self-evident fact that is far too often forgotten”
Werner Heisenberg
I need to start this. We do science not because we need, are needed, want, nor are wanted. Challenging new knowledge is not easy but sometimes we have fun. But we do this because we believe the nature could be understood by us rationally. Physicists do theory and experiment because we believe we can understand the nature. And, we believe understanding the nature contributes to human civilization. Knowledge, talents, and skills are not so important to be a scientist but the scientist has to have right motivation with their own philosophy. We do make mistake sometimes but we don’t deceit because that is totally against our fundamental belief which is “We can understand the nature by using capabilities we are given.”
It doesn’t matter how technology advanced, if the motivation is not right, there is no meaning of advancing science. That’s why this is important. The science is made by men. The system of science is perfect (This is also true for the system human made such as democracy, capitalism, and even communism, so on) but human sometimes makes the system bad because we are not perfect mentally and physically. If you want to know whether or not he/she is good scientist, you can know by knowing what he/she speak, how he/she behaves, and why he/she does so.
I will go on my scientific philosophy from I learned from experimental physics. I personally am focusing on problem solving skill because that we can do but A.I. can’t do in near future. I will also write book review. My reading pace now is like 15-20 books a month. It might be good idea to start short review what I read. Thank you for reading this.
