Physics and applied Mathematics. I create art when I have some leisure time. I find every bit of life to have a element of surprise.

Not everything I write about will interest everyone and science is a vast field as everyone knows. I like to combine the latest technology with Space and Music of our Futuristic moments. I try to mention Healthy lifestyle to encourage good living. The choice to choose natural healthy foods and fitness is choice everyone can make at any age to benefit future generations.Healthy Technology updates and cures will be added from time to time.

It is not stats or likes, but the magnitude of people who cared to keep read oddball or new advancements in the science and technology world. So here I am again. Well that all for now but I will share an imaginative memory, once long ago I remember sitting on a bench reading a good book as I ate my lunch and gazed at the soothing sounds of the sea..I was watching my nephew and niece that day collect sea shells. That was before “it happened,” I use to be like you, Human!
