but sometimes she can be so "un cha boh" =x.. wish the best for u n ur loved one.. my dear ka ching.. =]

everything i said.. i thought too much.. but like i sensed.. stupid jk like hx lor.. bloody hell.. ask him he got feel fer her not?
me: u like hx rite..?
jk: no la.. i treat her like wendy liddat nia..

*next day*
me(to jk n hx): where u guys going?
jk: *duno* acts dumb
hx: *nv say anything*
me: ... okays...
*me crosses road to the bus stop across*
*jk flags taxi, hx n jk gets into taxi n goes off*

stupid jk -.- LOL everytime say CX n HX.. NOW IS WHO ARHS! u retarded dumb-no-link-arse..
then now sae me n wt.. lame leh.. i really bwg.. no link.. although i got sms wt.. but doesn't mean me n her got thing right. -.- then anyhow spread rumors.. -.-"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""

every decision i make. i hope is the wise-est.. everything i do.. i do not wish to regret.. i do not want to be responsible for any bad things that happen..

am i trying to be smart? i just think too much. linking everything up..

within my quietness.. i'm slowly observing.. every move that anyone makes and conclude.. why that move was made.. maybe i'm try to act pro.. but i'm tryin to help.

i do not wish to interefere.. but i wish for no hard feelings.. i hope for peace in this world.. where nuttin will be mean..

am i tryin to live life as a saint? i tink i'm doing things to great extends..
this life i lived the prophet once said.. tinks a lot and change ppl's fate..

time has passed quickly.. in a blink of an eye.. the times i spent were fun.. but some of them were boring.. i hope the paths i take and the things i do are right.. i'm physcoin ppl.. the paths i make them take.. i hope will be the best.. >_<.


lyn. i duno wad u tryin to do.

went out wif jess n eug! aahahhahahahahaha..
actually was suppose to go out wif jess nia.. but eug tag along.... -.-
went to pasir ris n find jess.. to plae bball.. at NIGHT LMAO.. WHY NIGHT?

me: where u want to eat lunch? da bao mac arh? she at home rot right?

*3.45pm *bathed out*
err wad time u goin out to eat? u rottin at home or goin to find her? i most probably goin to find her..

at 4pm me *makin hair*
want to go out a not...

THIS BLOODY IDIOT BROTHER. FUCKING CANT MULTITASK. everytime ask things he like 5mins later then reply.. sian. then in the end... 7pm then leave hse..

then before leaving the hse.. eug typed something like: i goin to go out rot.. 1 hr.., before he pressed ENTER (msn) i tell him.. u dun tell her first better.. wait til we reach then say..

then lalalala.. sit bus 88 til so song.. he suddenly nudge me.. ask me see his sms..
jess: WHERE U GOING TO ROT? or something

asking him where he is la.. then he so lame.. sms her back TAMPINES..

i BWG.. she sms him..: why u go tampines? FOR WAD?

then he reply.. go find fren cnt arh?

wtf-.- he reply so.. -.- bwg.. bwg bwg.. y this kind. hais. i told him not to hint or wadever.. he hand itchy.. bloody idiot. stupid. retard. duno wad to say. Y*)!#)$!*) stupid. dumb. hais..

then.. eug lost his way and bla bla bla blabla bla..
then jess came n fetch us.. err.. i gave my pissed off attitude.. stupid jess.. so emo.. =x FOR WAD?!?! i go ur there.. u feel bad for wad. -.- u liddat no need to be girl liao.. feel bad over such small things =x u be guy better la.. but u be guy not nice lookin.. be girl at least cute cute hur.. ahahahahas..

me. and my stupid thoughts.

very long time since i blogged.. duno y suddenly feel like blogging.. maybe because of the emotions that i bottle up in my heart. i have to let it out somehow.. lemme just let out everything that i want to say here. thx blog. =]

thx ying. for the sayang. even though its only one word.. or rather, emoticon, i'm still thankful for it =]

YES PROPHET U SAID IT RIGHT. I THINK A LOT! and i link things up and assume.. >_< i dun wan to assume too much................................. assuming means not the truth means miscommunication means distrust means quarrel means breakup means every other bad things that can happen in this world. if i get a gf now.. i will break up wif her. definitely.. hais stupid me.
got any job that earns nice $$ and needs ppl to analyse and assume not..? i sure fufil the requirements one.. =x

leo talked about mature love, only wif mature love will one be happy forever n have a blessful marriage.. i just want 1 gf n 1 marriage n 1 family. thats my thinking.. i m stupid right? i just want a good girl who likes me, be very sweet be very nice~ but i wunt be able to sustain the relationship.. coz i'm a retard, probably have a stone heart. no emotions.

give and do not expect anything in return. i want to love my friends.. because i want them to love me in return. looks like i shld not habour that thought.

if u read on, u'll see why i cant comunicate.. i duno how to start sentences, like starting, middle and ending... i just anyhow pop out something and say it.. like sentences, think of the middle, the end, then the front.. then everytime if i think before i say.. ppl will interupt me.. then i wunt be able to talk liao.. then forget it.. might as well dun talk right? then if i think, then i say.. then ppl said their piece.. then.. why shld i even talk.. hais.. duno y duno y. m i slow? i think a lot.. think a lott!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! siannnnns......... everydae cnt sleep.. coz my brain always working.. thinking thinking thinking thinking.. think so many shitty things. think of everything that happened that dae.. think of how i shld have better overcomed that matter, think of y i even did that.. then regret? stupid right.

my life is boring.

my pri sch life. always playing catching under void deck! so fun! that was the best part of my life.. i miss it so much..

my sec sch life, my mum dun let me go out one.. ask her can go out a not.. she confirm say cannot.. sian.. then i olso a bit anti-social.. everything i think in my head.. i nv voice out.. bottle up til i very stony heart liaos..

my "jc" life was in ausssie, where i studied in centenary heights state high school, this sch is so nice! my ang moh classmates all so fun one.. lolz.. but aussie bad thing is 5pm every shop close liaos.. then i remember the last time.. i ask my mum if i can go to my fren's hse(8pm) liddat.. go n dota wif them.. my dad was out of town on an exercise.. then my mum was like.. : wth? dun go la. then i ask her.. if dad says okay leh? then u let me go? then she sorta mumble.. i called my dad.. asked him for permission.. at first he okay one.. then he ask my mum to take the phone.. i passed it to my mum.. then she asked: u want to let him go arh? then they talk talk.. then when i take back the phone.. my dad dun let me go liao..... zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz so disappointed lors.. sians. they scared that i kena wad? drugs cigrette sex or wad ? i not so stupid one lors... bloody hell.. wad to do.. my mum duno wad sai la. just no goin out.. sians.. everything dun go out.. then i become nerd lor.. face the comp 24/7 then my dad everytime scold me playing computer when i in sec 3/4.. say i nv go out wad sai.. wtf... retard lors.. fuck. tears summed up in my eyes.. must be beacuse of the fan thats blowing in my eyes.

now i come back to singapore.. finally i out of reach of my parents.. thought WAH SO GOOD SIAH.. can everydae go out plae plae plae.. my parents everytime call to ask how we r, sure ask if we got enough money a not.. =X buwahahah.. but i nv used their money yet.. i only used up all my savings for my entire life until now. then now still got $500 to spend til i use up my own savings.. buwahahah.. the i will use it on my frens!!!!!! my fam!!

ying. i not rich. is i saved these money.. i nv buy much clothes n stuff.. nv buy new hp nv buy new specs.. money i saved up.. i wanna spend on frens! make them happi..! wahaha.. but i feel that i have very little friends.. know ppl but good frens.. little.. =/

ying. i know that u will definitely share those 2 sms i suddenly sent to u wif miike. or even hx n wt. i duno if i shld regret doing that a not. because. in that sms. i am like such a poor thing. if guys see that sms. they will think that i'm zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. tryin to get symphathy. i sent it to u. i knew u would show ppl.. hx initially thinks that i m interested in her.. which i do not know is a fact or not. because i DO NOT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT LOVE! i TOLD u that before. and i told u again. i do not know y i m doin this. but i think that i can get hx if i tried. but i wanted to call hx.. a few days after callin hx.. i went to buy a cordless phone. so that i can use the phone n call her. my hp bill would explode if i were to call her everytime on my hp. i duno i like hx or wadever. jk asked me. he gave me a chance to tell him if i liked her. i said no. thus i m gifin him my blessings now. i m a bloody sensitive guy. a stupid n sensitive n i think a lot, assume n misunderstand.

todae.. my bro asked me if i wanna go wif him, jess n yy to roller blading.. but last min, ying just popped out of msn n asked me to pei her go bugis buy a box.. then i okay lors.. then ask her wad time meet.. then she say sms her coz she late for her 3pm class liaos.. then i say okay lors.. went to bath.. prepared everything, every sai n wanna go out liaos, 3pm++ after she is IN her lesson smsed her.. then she tell me she probably going with us to watch movie.. and sms n say she going taka and buy her pressie wif hx n jk.. okays then.. then i stay at home rot lor.. so bloody angry.... dun disturbe u n jk n hx, coz if i go.. sure is jk talk talk talk.. i dun like to interupt ppl when they are talking. then i like very anti social. then i olso dun wan to disturbe those 2 lovebirds. may they be together n haf a happy relationship! =]

so her plan that she didn't tell me was that she duno she wanna go wif us to watch movie a not.. if she going, she will be going to somewhere near wt's workin place n buy her pressie.. if she not watching movie.. she will be going bugis to buy her pressie.. i so sian.. so conclusion.. she going out wif jk n hx later, going to taka.. then i dun need to pei her le..

but if she going to bugis.. which means shes not goin to watch movie, she will want me to pei her.. WHICH MEANS SHE WILL PANG SEH ME AFTER BUYING. wtf. sian. okay la.. although i really got nuttin to do.. u dun haf be like this de one right. i assume too much? but if its really like this.. i really sian lehs.. T_T y me as backup..

ying. i really wanna say this to u leh.. i could haf gone wif my bro n jess n yy to rollerblade.. i didn't tell u that in msn because u seem so busy and i thought u would definitely go.. or at least ask me out wif u guys.. dun tink jk will want me there cos hes wif hx.. and his sms was: "hx asked me to ask u guys." okay. so is not his idea to even ask me out in the first place.. so i dun wanna be extra and tag along like a bloody leech following n be light bulb.. i really sian. jk n hx.. i wish u guys the best la. jk. i wunt go call hx anymore. k. these few days i nv call her liaos. i nv told u i calling hx yest because i dun want u to lose concentration on ur studies.. although u probably r smsing hx when studying.. i like acting wei da right? but pls. i really dun wanna lose my frens. =[

hx.. i called u yest coz i didn't wanted to bother jk anymore. i smsed him asking wad time meeting.. he said: "tell me tml.." i wanted to sms back: "k, i call hx a while" but i didnt.. coz i didn't wanted him to lose concentration. then i called u.. n talked a bit.. then mike took the phone.. thought hx bluffed him that i was cx. then after jkin a bit.. i said i was edwin.. then talk a bit n he started driving.. then he said "call me back" okay. i waited.. knowing that he wunt call or hx wunt call. i didn't wanted to call hx back because she was alone on the van wif mike.. he will be like very "lonely" wif hx talking on the phone.. thus i nv called her. so. i waited like 1/2 hr to 45mins.. then i smsed hx.. asking her wad time tml n wad time she sleepin.. n i waited.. coz maybe she is bathing or something.. waited n watched hua yang shao nian shao nu.. til 2am+ n i know she wunt reply. k. maybe she was asleep or something.. then todae.. i called her.. first ques.. asked her.. hi.. err.. did u receive my sms yest? she said yea.. but was too busy to reply.. okays.. hao. too busy to reply.. i didn't ask wad she was busy wif.. so okay lors.. then i asked her wad time meetin later on.. she say wt off work at 8.30pm.. so meet a bit earlier? okay. fine. sure meet a bit earlier.. u n jk n jy go shoppin n things bahs.. i stay at home rot.. k.. this is from my point of view.. i dun want to ask if i can join them a not.. coz if they wanna ask me.. they ask bah.. dun ask.. nvm then.. i'll eat myself..

tml is valentines.. i sibeh sian.. i asked eug, to ask vin, to ask jess out on wed, vin tooth ache.. -.- Then i ask eug to ask jess out.. but duno he do wad.. i tml so sian.. no body to go out wif.. rotting at home again like everydae.. coz if jess dun go out wif someone tml.. she will go out wif her exbf who is a bloody fcker *heard frm eug*.. so jess.. if u tml no one go out wif u hors.. i ask u out kae! dun go out wif ur ex... pls pls pls pls pls pls pls pls! =/

jess said she will make strawberry cheesecake for me n my bro if we read that entry* in her blog! so sweet of her!! haha.. cant wait to taste her cheesecake!! =]] =D *waits patiently*

i haf a good bro n haf mani good frens.. but m i thinking too much.. if crying out will make me better.. i wanna cry.. like jess liddat.. cry at things that she dun like.. then after that.. okay liao, can jump n shout n be so joyful.

my bro like everydae go out.. he organise outings wif his frens. so fun. i olso wanna go out.. my frens poly.. his frens jc.. go out wif him.. my jc de frens all workin.. everyone buey on one.. sian.. say go out.. then sometimes pang seh last min. fk. sian. z. then i olso bad organiser.. my birthday that time.. organise 1 week in advance.. but only like 5 ppl celebrated my bdae.. i shld be contented right? but out of 5 ppl.. 1 is not sincere de(jason) -.- 1 is bling's fren(shu hui), 1 is bling's fren's cousin(annabel), bling n me.. only bling i asked her if she wanna celebrate one.. other is i at shu hui's place.. so they shun bian olso. my frens all working or no time on my bdae.. hais.. then nvm la.. at least they sent me happi bdae mesges! =] then another time i tried to oragnise.. i sibeh wad lors.. cnt even organise.. ppl not on. hais.. i dun wana try to organise things liaos.. organise things sure cok up one. z. z. z.

why do i like gaming? i do not know y.. maybe because i am anti social.. i have a stone heart. i dun like anyone. i haven cried for many years. n when i heard my frens, hx n jess cries a lot, i suddenly thought that crying can actually make u better..

hx said that she cries very often.. but not in front of ppl.. maybe when shes showering or something.. but now.. she probably will develop a feel for jk, n jk will also have feelings for hx.. because relationships starts from friends n time that are devoted.. jk olso very joking n fun to be with!, they are often together.. hx is open to any relationships.. jk if dun mind.. sure can get her n they will be very happy! i think.. =] lemme just gif them my blessings n everything.. jk jiayou! ni ke yi de.. just dun make her sad hors.. or else i will find u and make sure u KENA FROM ME.. =)

jess olso cries very often.. that time i talk wif her on the phone.. i actually heard her cry 1 time.. and she almost cried 2 times.. once when she says her hair kena cut til very not nice.. o.o she cries to make herself better! let all the things out..

wt says she scared of whale. hx says she wunt be able to get rid of the fear. that fear is placed in her when she first saw the whale when shes very young, she thinks that whales are very fierce, mouth very big, and thought that the whale wanted to eat her.. or maybe she saw the whale eating something very fiercely.. so she got so scared of whale that she might even cry when she sees whales.. but i think this can be cured! because... she have to think that whales are friendly, touch small toy whales, then touch medium size de.. let her punch whales.. make her think that whales are actually very cute! n she can KILL the whale.. let her hit a whale..

i was wondering why ppl pray to god or wadever.. my runescape username was praytoheaven last time.. i wonder.. why did i even put that as my username? hmm... good question eh?
it derived from toheavens.. i olso duno y i put that as my diablo2 "character name" LOLS SO FUNNY LORS.. think of it.. lame =x -.-"

ppl worship god, christians.. they give away all their sufferings, their pain, from those that have hurt them.. to jesus. i think that christainity is a good thing.. it makes man forgive and forget those who have hurt them. i m a free thinker. but i m willing to be a christian if theres no such rules as fully trust or wadever.. =/ to be christian, u'll have to say that u give god ur life.. i then dun wan.. -.- a bit diao lors.. even though its not really die or wad.. but i just dun like that vow or something.. so i'll be a free-thinker! but i support christianity. hee =]

assignment.. bla.. =X

didn't bring any storage items to sch.. and its already the last dae of the week.. =/ have to think of some ways to bring the assignment home right? haha =X so i blogged it!! clever me? =XxX lolz.. jkin.. lifes like this.... smooth going.. juz nuttin to do during lunchbreaks / morning tea... bla bla bla... sianz.... hais... going to dreamland tml.. weeeeee... aust de thingy... not wad my lala land horz.. kk.. haf to go le... cyaz all~~~ miss yaz~~ ^^

The world around us are materialist. No ones likes to be poor and everyone wants to be rich. There are too ways of people defining poverty. That is why there are the wealthy and the less wealthy ones.

Econs: Poverty Assignment

United Nation’s definition of poverty:

In the Copenhagen World Summit for Social Development (1995), the United Nations adopted a definition of poverty that was heavily influenced by Sen’s conceptualisation.

Poverty has various manifestations, including lack of income and productive resources sufficient to ensure sustainable livelihoods; hunger and malnutrition ill health; limited or lack of access to education and other basic services; increased morbidity and mortality from illness; homelessness and inadequate housing; unsafe environments; and social discrimination and exclusion. It is also characterized by a lack of participation in decision-making and in civil, social and cultural life. … Absolute poverty is a condition characterized by facilities, health, shelter, education and information. It depends not only on income but also on access to social services. (United Nations 1995)

NATSEM and the Smith Family claim that 11 out of 12 different measures of poverty

Henderson poverty line

Ann Harding and Agnieszka Szukalska, Financial Disadvantage in Australia - 1999: The Unlucky Australians?, a report commissioned from NATSEM by The Smith Family, 14 November 2000.
The report uses the half-average income poverty line and covers:
§ trends in poverty since 1982 by family type
§ poverty by educational attainment and labour force status
§ poverty by family type and age
§ poverty and housing
§ the poverty gap
In the book: ” Defining Poverty by Peter Saunders”, there are two basic strategies for combating poverty. One, the “capitalist” strategy, is to allow economic growth to improve everybody's living standards (raising all boats). The other, the “socialist” strategy, is to take resources away from more prosperous people and transfer them to
those with less. (http://au.newslookup.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=590 )
Definition of poverty is not the same for all countries. There are various definition of poverty for each country as each countries’ relatively standard of living are different.
For example in US, the average living standard is higher compared to most European countries. But it is a lot less equal in terns of income distribution because incomes in US are more widely spread out den in European countries. Thus, the poverty situation is worse den poverty in European countries.(for there are more people relatively lower income)

The project was moved to New Mexico in 1944, and on July 16, 1945, the first atomic bomb was detonated at Alamogordo Air Base. Three weeks later, bombs were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, ending World War II.
Fermi returned to the University of Chicago until his death of cancer on November 28, 1954.

Enrico Fermi
Born in Rome, Italy, on September 29, 1901
Death on November 28, 1954
The son of a railroad official
Studied at the University of Pisa from 1918 to 1922
Later at the universities of Leyden and Gottingen
Became professor of theoretical physics at the University of Rome in 1927

Quote: "The President of the United States of America ... for especially meritorious contributions to the development, use, or control of atomic energy, grant[s] an award of merit to Enrico Fermi for his contributions to basic neutron physics and the achievement of the controlled nuclear chain reaction." – Excerpt from Enrico Fermi Award signed by President Dwight D. Eisenhower on December 1, 1954.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

-Discovered new radioactive elements produced by neutron irradiation
-Discovered nuclear reactions brought about by slow neutrons
-On December 2, 1942, he achieved the first self-sustaining chain reaction and thereby initiated the controlled release of nuclear energy
-quantum theory

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Fermi discusses the nuclear chain reaction and possibilities for peace time uses of atomic energy.
Excerpts about the first self-sustaining nuclear chain reaction, peaceful uses of nuclear energy, and the role of plutonium in nuclear energy.
Ten years after the experiment, Fermi recalls his confidence in the success of the first self-sustaining controlled nuclear chain reaction.
The First Reactor (40th Anniversary Commemorative Edition)
A story of the first self-sustaining controlled nuclear chain reaction that took place at Stagg Field, University of Chicago, December 2, 1942.
US PATENT 2,708,656 [May 17, 1955]; Fermi, E., et al.
Patent for the first nuclear reactor.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In 1938, he received the Nobel Prize in Physics for, "for his demonstrations of the existence of new radioactive elements produced by neutron irradiation, and for his related discovery of nuclear reactions brought about by slow neutrons". While in Sweden receiving the Prize he began emigration to America, primarily to escape Mussolini's fascist dictatorship.
On December 2, 1942 in a squash court under the University of Chicago's stadium, he finally achieved the world's first man-made nuclear chain reaction. This was the key to the atomic bomb. He was instrumental leading scientists at Los Alamos.
Element 100 was named fermium (Fm) in his honor.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Enrico Fermi was born in Rome on 29th September, 1901, the son of Alberto Fermi, a Chief Inspector of the Ministry of Communications, and Ida de Gattis. He attended a local grammar school, and his early aptitude for mathematics and physics was recognized and encouraged by his father's colleagues, among them A. Amidei. In 1918, he won a fellowship of the Scuola Normale Superiore of Pisa. He spent four years at the University of Pisa, gaining his doctor's degree in physics in 1922, with Professor Puccianti.Soon afterwards, in 1923, he was awarded a scholarship from the Italian Government and spent some months with Professor Max Born in Göttingen. With a Rockefeller Fellowship, in 1924, he moved to Leyden to work with P. Ehrenfest, and later that same year he returned to Italy to occupy for two years (1924-1926) the post of Lecturer in Mathematical Physics and Mechanics at the University of Florence.In 1926, Fermi discovered the statistical laws, nowadays known as the «Fermi statistics», governing the particles subject to Pauli's exclusion principle (now referred to as «fermions», in contrast with «bosons» which obey the Bose-Einstein statistics).In 1927, Fermi was elected Professor of Theoretical Physics at the University of Rome (a post which he retained until 1938, when he - immediately after the receipt of the Nobel Prize - emigrated to America, primarily to escape Mussolini's fascist dictatorship).During the early years of his career in Rome he occupied himself with electrodynamic problems and with theoretical investigations on various spectroscopic phenomena. But a capital turning-point came when he directed his attention from the outer electrons towards the atomic nucleus itself. In 1934, he evolved the ß-decay theory, coalescing previous work on radiation theory with Pauli's idea of the neutrino. Following the discovery by Curie and Joliot of artificial radioactivity (1934), he demonstrated that nuclear transformation occurs in almost every element subjected to neutron bombardment. This work resulted in the discovery of slow neutrons that same year, leading to the discovery of nuclear fission and the production of elements lying beyond what was until then the Periodic Table.In 1938, Fermi was without doubt the greatest expert on neutrons, and he continued his work on this topic on his arrival in the United States, where he was soon appointed Professor of Physics at Columbia University, N.Y. (1939-I942).Upon the discovery of fission, by Hahn and Strassmann early in 1939, he immediately saw the possibility of emission of secondary neutrons and of a chain reaction. He proceeded to work with tremendous enthusiasm, and directed a classical series of experiments which ultimately led to the atomic pile and the first controlled nuclear chain reaction. This took place in Chicago on December 2, 1942 - on a squash court situated beneath Chicago's stadium. He subsequently played an important part in solving the problems connected with the development of the first atomic bomb (He was one of the leaders of the team of physicists on the Manhattan Project for the development of nuclear energy and the atomic bomb.)In 1944, Fermi became American citizen, and at the end of the war (1946) he accepted a professorship at the Institute for Nuclear Studies of the University of Chicago, a position which he held until his untimely death in 1954. There he turned his attention to high-energy physics, and led investigations into the pion-nucleon interaction.During the last years of his life Fermi occupied himself with the problem of the mysterious origin of cosmic rays, thereby developing a theory, according to which a universal magnetic field - acting as a giant accelerator - would account for the fantastic energies present in the cosmic ray particles.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Professor Fermi was the author of numerous papers both in theoretical and experimental physics. His most important contributions were:"Sulla quantizzazione del gas perfetto monoatomico", Rend. Accad. Naz. Lincei, 1935 (also in Z. Phys., 1936), concerning the foundations of the statistics of the electronic gas and of the gases made of particles that obey the Pauli Principle.Several papers published in Rend. Accad. Naz. Lincei, 1927-28, deal with the statistical model of the atom (Thomas-Fermi atom model) and give a semiquantitative method for the calculation of atomic properties. A resumé of this work was published by Fermi in the volume: Quantentheorie und Chemie, edited by H. Falkenhagen, Leipzig, 1928."Uber die magnetischen Momente der AtomKerne", Z. Phys., 1930, is a quantitative theory of the hyperfine structures of spectrum lines. The magnetic moments of some nuclei are deduced therefrom."Tentativo di una teoria dei raggi ß", Ricerca Scientifica, 1933 (also Z. Phys., 1934) proposes a theory of the emission of ß-rays, based on the hypothesis, first proposed by Pauli, of the existence of the neutrino.The Nobel Prize for Physics was awarded to Fermi for his work on the artificial radioactivity produced by neutrons, and for nuclear reactions brought about by slow neutrons. The first paper on this subject "Radioattività indotta dal bombardamento di neutroni" was published by him in Ricerca Scientifica, 1934. All the work is collected in the following papers by himself and various collaborators: "Artificial radioactivity produced by neutron bombardment", Proc. Roy. Soc., 1934 and 1935; "On the absorption and diffusion of slow neutrons", Phys. Rev., 1936. The theoretical problems connected with the neutron are discussed by Fermi in the paper "Sul moto dei neutroni lenti", Ricerca Scientfica, 1936.His Collected Papers are being published by a Committee under the Chairmanship of his friend and former pupil, Professor E. Segrè (Nobel Prize winner 1959, with O. Chamberlain, for the discovery of the antiproton).Fermi was member of several academies and learned societies in Italy and abroad (he was early in his career, in 1929, chosen among the first 30 members of the Royal Academy of Italy).As lecturer he was always in great demand (he has also given several courses at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor; and Stanford University, Calif.). He was the first recipient of a special award of $50,000 - which now bears his name - for work on the atom.Professor Fermi married Laura Capon in 1928. They had one son Giulio and one daughter Nella. His favourite pastimes were walking, mountaineering, and winter sports.He died in Chicago on 28th November, 1954.

In 1933, he developed the theory of beta decay, postulating that the newly-discovered neutron decaying to a proton emits an electron and a particle which he called a "neutrino". The theory developed to explain this interaction later resulted in recognition of the weak interaction force

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Experimentally, Fermi and his colleagues, during the early 1930's, studied in detail the theory of neutrons; they bombarded most of the elements in the periodic table with them. They slowed down the neutrons, and among other things, produced a strange new product when bombarding uranium with neutrons which later was recognized to be a splitting of the uranium atoms.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Fermi received the Nobel Prize in 1938 for "his discovery of new radioactive elements produced by neutron irradiation, and for the discovery of nuclear reactions brought about by slow neutrons." Fermi and his family used the opportunity offered by his trip to Sweden for the awards ceremonies to leave permanently because of their increasing concern about living under the Italian Fascist regime. They came to the United States where Fermi accepted a position as professor of physics at Columbia University.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

At that time it was recognized that nuclear fission (the splitting of the atom) had taken place in Fermi's and other similar experiments. Scientists felt that this principle might be applied to construct an "atomic bomb"

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Fermi moved to the University of Chicago to be in charge of the first major step in making feasible the building of a bomb. In the squash courts under the west stand of the University's Stagg Field, Fermi supervised the design and assembly of an "atomic pile", a code word for an assembly that in peacetime would be known as a "nuclear reactor". Today, a plaque at the site reads: "On December 2, 1942, man achieved here the first self-sustaining chain reaction and thereby initiated the controlled release of nuclear energy."

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Fermi joined the faculty at the University of Chicago and continued his investigation of the nucleus of the atom, concentrating on the particles that make up the nucleus. He was the prime mover in the design of the synchrocyclotron at the university which was, at the time of its completion, one of the most powerful atom smashers in the world. At the end of its useful life at Chicago in 1973, the machine's large electromagnet was moved to Fermilab, and is in use in experiments here.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To Fermi high energy physics was the most exciting area of physics. He accurately predicted that giant accelerators (such as Fermilab's) would be built in the future. In lighter moments, he even dreamed of an accelerator that would be built at the equator and encircle the globe!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Quantum mechanics is a fundamental physical theory that extends, corrects and unifies Newtonian mechanics and Maxwellian electromagnetism, at the atomic and subatomic levels. It is the underlying framework of many fields of physics and chemistry, including condensed matter physics, quantum chemistry, and particle physics. The term quantum (Latin, "how much") refers to the discrete units that the theory assigns to certain physical quantities, such as the energy of an atom at rest (see Figure 1, at right).

Enrico Fermi’s quote…:
There are two possible outcomes: if the result confirms the hypothesis, then you've made a measurement. If the result is contrary to the hypothesis, then you've made a discovery.
