I used it for market research because I was struck with inspiration for a physics song the other day but I'll have to get back to you about that once I can sing... (never!) but here's my first few lines so far which I felt I should post because it will probably never be anything more:
Like a neutron star dancing,
around a black hole
in the dark of the night
(reference to the evidence for black holes)
And like two lovers on a train
and a stationary observer
between them passing light
(reference to special relativity and the analogy for time and distance dilation)
See it kind of rhymes and everything! Plus its nice and creepy!!
The other is more serious and inspirational. I found in in my science dump app and was blown away (no pun intended!). This guy basically borrowed a textbook from a library and from a diagram built his own wind turbine to create electricity for his family. It is really impressive but made even more so when you add that he had to drop out of school because his family couldn't afford to pay the fees and needed him to work on the farm. I mean, it really makes me appreciate all the oppurtunities I have. Then they bring him to America to see a wind farm there and its just incredible. Imagine, living in a small village in Africa and then coming to New york, how mad must that feel?
There is also an autobiographical novel that I have to read so I added it to my amazon wish list, it is called 'the boy who harnessed the wind'
