Die Zeit als Kristall

Vor acht Jahren sagte der Physik-Nobelpreisträger Frank Wilczek die Existenz von Zeitkristallen voraus. Diesen seltsamen Materiezustand haben Wissenschaftler jetzt im Labor hergestellt – und die Grundlage für eine neue Technologie geschaffen..... go to the link to continue reading!

Incredible space age stuff: But remember how we smiled at the flat screens they had in Star Trek and/ or similar epics. In 1969 an 'expert' said that the world would never need more that 5 computers. OK. Go further back. I seem to remember smoking having been declared healthy! 

So what next? It is now being claimed that the coroma virus will never go away. Survivers will need frequent vaccination to keep them immune since a vaccine against the corona virus will only be active for a short time.
It's hard to believe anything these days.
 

Lockdown

I'm not sure it's a good idea even to think about what is happening to the planet's social framework. Apart from ast trips to get the groceries at 7 in the morning, I haven't been anywhere for 7 weeks.

How many words?

I'm short of time at the moment because I am reviewing all the books in the Price series (for links to the blogs go to top right of this page).

Where does the time go?

Nearly Xmas and I never seem to get round to updating this blog.

I spent 5 summer weeks in the UK battling with sinus trouble that left me deaf on the right ear and with only about 50% hearing on the left. I recovered only when I got back to Germany and was able to buy the capsules that always work: Gelomyrtol is the substance. You can get it in the USA, but they had never heard of it in the UK. Somehow I got through that vacation, including a week in Scotland only memorable for 2 things: the torrential rain and a visit to Stirling Castle. My journey back was a nightmare of a ripped tyre and rescue by a charming English guy who organized the rescue service and a new tyre. I even managed to get my train under the tunnel!

Pick's disease ...

There is a website called "The Painter's Keys" that was run by an artist who died a few years ago leaving a huge amount of material. I used to read the letters twice weekly and often contributed to the site. I also have a collection of letters and comments that was sent to frequent contributors as a gift. Looking for something quite different under my artist name (FP), I came across this comment here: https://painterskeys.com/creative-muscle/. This is the entry copied exactly including one or two errors I obviously did not see at the time.
I don't subscribe to that website now. It lost its charm for me when his daughter took over.
