Customize your blog

To customize your blog's appereance you can change the blog's template or the blog's background.

- To change your template you can use the ones provided by blogger.com or you can download one from Btemplates, Blogger-templates, Freetemplates, or you can google "your subject+ blog template" (ex: music blog template) etc... Then, when you find the template you want, you download it. It will download as a ZIP file:

Then you right-clic the file and select "Extract here". When you have the template folder you'll find an XML file:


 

 

Open your blog's dashboard clic "Layout" and go to "Edit HTML". There you have to check the "Expand Wiidgets", and then go to the top box (the one of Backup/Restore template) and browse the file XML template file. When you are done, clic on upload.
P.S: Sometimes, after you upload your XML file a warning is shown. Just clic on "Keep Widgets".

-Some pages don't have the XML file to download, instead, they have the HTML (text) to copy. In that case just copy the HTML, enter "Layout", "Edit HTML" and paste it there:

- Now, to change the blog's background:

Search for an image on google and coppy its URL (adress). Then go to your dashboard, go to "Layout" and then to "Edit HTML". Search in the HTML for the patr that says "body" and below it "background". There you'll find the adress of the background you want to change. Erase that old URL (without erasing the brackets nor anything outside of them) and paste the one of the new image there:

Science vs. Fiction

This is my personal opinion and review of the article "So Movies Shouldn't Break the Laws of Physics? Don't Tell Captain Kirk" by David Mitchell

This article is about science fitcion movies, and their absurd mistakes. In the beginning of the article, Mitchell talks about common mistakes, easy to detect by inexperts, like variation in the lenght of a cigarrette in a scene, ilogical medical procedures, etc... But then he mentions how scientists has found many more flaws, and are willing to stop them.

Professor Sidney Perkowitz has decided to stop the science mistakes for the benefit of science (obviously), scientist and even the audience. Professor used as example several movies like "The Core", where its characters go to the center of the Earth, all they do is lightly sweat during the expedition. If someone could ever  travel to the Earth's core, they would inmediatly burn alive and evaporate. He also cited "Starship Troopers" where giant insect exist, but in real life, those instect would "collapse under its own weight".

So what Professor Perkowitz proposed was a limit of one major science flaw per movie (In the article "Drive to make Hollywood obey the laws of science") 

I think that it is an exageration to prohibit fiction in movies, because that is why movies are for, to escape reality and to enjoy seeing a world unknown and impossible to live in. I think that the producers creativity should not be stopped or limited by no means, and that science should comment about movies but not prohibit or interfer with them.
