Chapters 9 & 10

With chapter 9, I thought it was great that she talked about Burlington. It really brought this issue back home for me. Vermont really has a lot of initiative in actually doing something about global warming. I love the idea about deconstruction instead of demolition because it sounds like a good way to cease waste and to expound on renewing instead of creating all the time. I wish more of the United States was on this city's page on their steps against global warming. It says that some Northeastern states like Massachusetts and Connecticut are trying to control their emissions of carbon. Yet, we still need more of this country to be on this same wavelength.

It's interesting to read that China is following the same path as us. I think that no one should follow our path because we'd probably only make things worse. So, I would hope that China follow Burlington instead of the US. They shouldn't have to produce so much more energy as us and build new coal plants. I just hope they get more up to speed with us.

Chapter 10 was more of Kolbert ranting about her frustrations on global warming. She did talk about the hole in the ozone layer and she did talk about the origins of CFC's. Yet, I didn't really learn anything in this chapter. It was just an angry environmentalist getting out her last thoughts. Or maybe that was more in the Afterword. It seemed like she was trying to push global warming in our faces. "Ha, this is what it did to us already," I could imagine her saying. I'm pretty sure most people reading already know about the affects of global warming. Yet, I guess she just wants to continue to prove her point.

I felt like I learned information about global warming. Yet, then I also just got a lot of opinion and a lot of facts by one side from this book. She had a lot of good facts and statistics to prove what she was trying to say. Yet, she beat around the bush way too much and probably should have stuck to the point a bit more. It was a good read though. I was entertained and intrigued by some of the off topic information like about the mosquitoes or the rats. She is a good journalist because she was able to get a lot of strong facts from her sources and her writing was easy to follow. I just wish the ending was a lot more interesting than just a frustrated author's thoughts.

Chapters 7-8

I thought that these chapters were much better than the ones of the past. The beginning for both were straight to the point. Chapter 7 started off with BAU (Business As Usual) and with Socolow, director of the Carbon Mitigation. I learned a lot of interesting facts about how Carbon Dioxide is emitted into the atmosphere. (like how 70 percent of our electricity is generated by burning fossil fuels). I was glad to see that there were actually plans or wedges on what we can do about climate change. I think nuclear power is a wedge that we shouldn't try though. It just seems to cause a lot of waste and I know other problems can arise if we were to invest more money in nuclear power. Plus, I didn't really understand how it stop the carbon and climate problem. It wasn't explained well how it could help.    

If mankind doesn't do something soon, it's going to be harder to keep the CO2 levels from getting too high. Both Socolow and Hoffert had completely different sides on carbon levels in the future. Socolow believes that they're going to decarbonize and Hoffert believes that the levels are going to recarbonize. There wasn't enough reason as to why they two scientists believe this in my opinion. Yet, I do agree with Hoffert. The way we keep causing more carbon emissions without any notice says that its only going to keep increasing. Even if the world naturally depletes some of the carbon in the atmosphere.

In chapter 8, there was a lot more information about politicians are saying about climate change. Of course, we all know Bush's stance on this issue. It's interesting how we refuse to be a part of the Kyoto Protocol even though we're the largest emitter of greenhouse gases. The Bush Administration has been stubborn with their beliefs and even mentioned trying to focus on "greenhouse gas intensity." This makes no sense to me. How is this going to help us? But of course, Bush rejects the idea of global warming because he just wants to continue using up our resources so that our economy can continue to grow.

"A treaty that requires binding commitments for the industrial countries but not developing countries will create a very damaging situation for the American economy," said Richard Trumka, secretary-treasurer of the AFL-CIO. This just shows how much of a selfish country we are. It seems our government is just ignoring the facts (or changing the facts like Philip Cooney did to government reports on climate change). There's so much we can at least try to do about climate change. Yet, our past president and other elected officials are too interested in making climate change look like some kind of a hoax so that our economy can continue to grow; but the world that we live in will continue to die.

Field Notes from a Castrophe: Chapters 5 & 6

I really didn't understand what the curse of Akkad has to do with global warming. The beginning of chapter 5 discusses all the reign Sargon and his sons had over Akkad. I don't understand all the history lessons that Kolbert likes to have. I think someone needs to remind her that her readers aren't students in her history class. I know she must have a point to this, but I fail to see what it is. And I've noticed most of her chapters always go off topic and then she tries to tie in climate change to her message. I just wish she would just get straight to the point.

Chapter 5 seemed to have a lot of useless information mixed in with some actual important facts. The climate models and research from GISS was very interesting. The research done by Hansen on the CO2 levels in Venus made me worry about what could happen to the earth with continuous increase of green house gases. Hansen had also made some predictions during the 1980s about Global Warming becoming a problem at the time. With the truth he had in his predictions and the fact that thousands people died in Europe in 2003 shows how much proof that climate change is really becoming a problem. I remember one of her sources, David Rind, was saying "We're really interested in adaptation to climate change. Well, what does 'adaptation' mean? It seems we're already having problems adapting to it right now. I question whether we should spend more time trying to reverse climate change (which is highly unlikely) or if we should spend more time trying to adapt to it. 

There was a lot of factual information in Chapter 5. I didn't know that average global temperatures were about ten degrees colder than they are today during the Last Glacial Maximum or about how water vapor can be considered a greenhouse gas. When I first read the chapter, I couldn't really understand how the curse of Akkad would have to deal with her point. Yet, I began to see it a bit more clearer at the end of the chapter. (And after reading it again. Ha ha.)

Chapter 6 was much shorter and more straight to the point. I liked the commercial ad in the beginning of the chapter. I thought that was quite funny even though be unfortunately true. The amphibious houses sound like a really good idea in terms of how to adapt with global warming. There was a lot of information in this chapter about the CO2 levels and the effects of climate change on the Netherlands. I loved the ending quote from Ann van der Molen. "The water is coming up, and we have to live with it, not fight it-it's just not possible." We've been continuously trying to fight this problem. Yet, not enough people seem to think that it may be too late to fight it; the only thing left to do might to just embrace it and learn to live with it. 

Is the world really going to end so soon? (Yea right)

I just wanted to share this article from the Huffington Post with everyone in case they were worried about 2012 and also to show how ridiculous these predictions are. ( I'm sure most of you aren't.)

2012: Mayan Year 2012 Stirs Apocalypse Predictions, Doomsayers

Chapter 4 of Field Notes from a Castrophe

In this chapter, I was able to learn a lot about the effects of global warming on some animals. At first, I couldn't understand why she would start the chapter off by talking about a butterfly. But I could later understand it was because of their change in migration most likely due to global warming. I found the section on the mosquites that bite people through their eyes very interesting. It seemed like this chapter was mostly about the changes in migration patterns and even of evolution that global warming has done to certain animal like the Wyeomyia smithii.

I think Kolbert wanted wanted us to see the dramtic effects global warming is having on various species. I found the information about how global warming can have effects on evolution  very interesting, but I wasn't sure I agreed with it. It seems that global warming does have drastic effects on how many animal species live. Yet, based on what she wrote, I couldn't really understand how it could change evolution. I liked the examples she used though. I thought it brought to light the changes that global warming has done to species over the years and what it may or may not do in the future.

Mother Nature Crying

I just thought I'd share this photo that Marine photographer and environmental lecturer Michael Nola took of an Ice shelf in Norway. Mother Nature must want to scold us too.

Field Notes from a Catastrophe Chapters 2-3

The next two chapters in this book were even more informative than the first. I learned even more information about what Global Warming is doing to the ice and how it's affecting people in Iceland. I thought the most interesting part for me was the fact that Iceland could lose all of their ice at the end of the next century. I also thought it was crazy how the people there have such a limited amount of time left there because of the speed of the melting ice.

I barely have any doubts after reading this, but I do still have some. There does seem to be a lot of scientific data to back up the idea of global warming. Yet, I question how they would explain this evidence to scientists who say the world is cooling. It seems the world has cooled years ago. The reading stated how farms were being buried under ice around 500 years ago. How do we know "global warming" isn't just a repeat of the past? Plus, I'm not sure I read enough information about what we're doing wrong to cause all these problems. I know about all the effects now, but really what are we doing that are causing them? What's different now than before? Kolbert touched on this, but I think she needs more information about what's so different about the world today to cause all this.

The writing was still good though. It was very informational and had good sources. It feels more like an interesting textbook than a journalistic piece. Yet, I like the writing style. I think science writing needs to be more scientific with the topic chosen rather than just straight facts. The information needs to delve in more into what we're reading about and that is exactly what the writer is doing.

Field Notes from a Catastrophe 1-34

The first chapter of this book was great. It was like reading a travel story almost, but there was a lot of science involved. I noticed that there was a lot of information about permafrost and carbon dioxide level increase in the Arctic. There's so much I didn't know about how global warming is affecting the Arctic. It seems whenever we hear about Global Warming, it's always about how it's going to affect the world as a whole. Yet, I never hear enough information about how it is affecting the Arctic.

There was so much science involved in the reading. I learned a lot about Alaska and about how global warming  is affecting the people that live there. Kolbert spoke to her readers in a very interesting and captivating way. It was easy to read along and understand the science behind what she was talking about. I really enjoyed reading it and it was hard to put down. It was very journalistic because she had some good reliable sources. I learned a lot reading this.

Why do we talk in our sleep?

 My roommate told me the other night that I was talking in my sleep. I immediately panicked. Oh no, what did I say? I hope I didn't say anything too crazy? I hope she doesn't know about the weird dream I had last night. I barely understood it. She then told me she couldn't understand me. I breathed a sigh of relief. My dream secrets are still in my head. She was actually talking in her sleep the other night too. Lucky for her, I couldn't understand her either. But, why was I talking in my sleep? I don't even remember doing it.

Sleep talking, also known as somniloquy, normally occurs in children. Their young minds are still developing, so their sleep cycles are not quite complete yet. Five percent of adults - both men and women - talk in their sleep. Sleep talking can usually occur in families. This talking can range from small utterances to yelling and screaming.

Both my roommate and I only mumbled in our sleep so we didn't keep each other up with loud curses about our evil homework assignments. But why did it happen at all?

Some say that sleep talking occurs during the REM( Rapid Eye Movement) cycle of sleep. Others say it can happen in any cycle of sleep. This occurrence in most cases is harmless. But in some is the result of something more serious. Some people who sleep talk might have RBD (REM Sleep Behavior Disorder). This causes people to grunt, shout, yell and act out their dreams at most times violently. Night Terrors or Sleep Terrors can also result in sleep talking. People with this disorder usually have frightening screams and they trash and kick. They normally can't be woken up in this state. Children with it usually sleep talk and sleepwalk. NS-RED (Nocturnal Sleep-related Eating Disorder) can also cause sleep talking which induces eating while asleep.

Sleep talking can happen because of emotional stress, substance abuse, fever, certain medications, or a mental health disorder. Yet, lack of sleep, heavy meals, and stress could cause sleep talking. I guess my roommate and I need to skip the books at night and get some sleep.

Why Do Leaves Change Color?

An assortment of fruity colors litter the Adirondack Mountains. Random arrangements of yellow, red and orange leaved trees sparaticly color the forest with a few green leaved trees. I look out my window of the Greyhound bus and I'm in love with the beautiful creation of what nature has made. Yet, as I make my journey back to New York City, I wonder how could nature create such a vivid, lively color to such a boring, dull season.

Trees have to prepare themselves for the winter just like humans do. As the temperatures get colder, the days become shorter. The leaves in trees produce a pigment called chlorophyll. This pigment produces a green color which is absorbed from blue and red light. Chlorophyll is in the cloroplasts part of the cell. This section is where photosynthesis occurs and light energy is converted into chemical energy. It is produced during the summer when there's more light to brighten up a leaf's day.

During the fall, chlorophyll is less present because of less light. In some trees, a pigment called carotene is also produced. This pigment absorbs blue-green and blue light. It combines with chlorophyll when they are in the same leaf. They remove red, blue-green and blue light from sunlight after it hits the leaf. Carotene transfers energy to chlorphyll in photosynthesis. When chlorphyll disappears, carotene is usually still there and it produces a yellow color on its own.

Another pigment that can also appear in leaves is anthocyanin. This pigment is not in the cloroplasts of the cells. A reaction between proteins and sugars in the cell sap form anthocyanins. It doens't occur unless there is a high concentration of sap and it also needs light. It absorb blue, blue-green and green light. It is very sensitive to pH in the cell sap. If the sap is more acidic, the leaf will have a bright red color. If it's not as acidic, the leaf will have a more purplish color.

Trees have so many amazing characteristics about them that make up what they are. They truly change with the seasons and continue to survive through the bitter winter. They liven up the dreary fall mornings with their splash of color even with a lack of light. Who knew that less sunlight could produce something so beautiful.

Stephen Hawking Is Making His Comeback

The article called "Stephen Hawking is Making His Comeback," by Tim Folger was very interesting. I learned a lot of information about Stephen Hawking that I've never known before. He had a lot of scientific information and a lot of biographical information that made it a very educating read. Overall, it was a very extensively researched article that was still interesting to read. Yet, I must grade the overall structure of the article.

The lede was very entertaining. It was like Folger was comparing Hawking to a rock star. I almost thought I was reading about a rock star. Yet, it wasn't punchy at all. It moved slowly and was more like reading a book than an article. So I give the lede a 16/20.

The content was perfect. He had so much information about Stephen Hawking. The reader learned about his disease, his early days, his studies, even his personality. The writer interviewed people, so we got a bit more of a background of who Stephen Hawking is. I noticed he didn't interview Mr. Hawking himself. Yet, I think that actually works out for what the writer was trying to say. He gets a 20/20 for this one.

The writing was quite good. It was very interesting to read and it kept me in the entire time. However, I thought a large part of the article was subjective. I could easily see the writer's opinion when he was writing about Hawking's life. I was thinking that Folger was definitely a fan of Hawking as I read through the article. Folger receives a 15/20 for this.

Folger explained the science of the article very well. I wasn't at all confused. I didn't see any jargon throughout the piece. I learned a lot from what he wrote, so he must have explained it very well since I wasn't confused. The science was put together very well. I could understand what he was trying to say about black holes and the universe. Folger receives a 20/20 for this.

The final grade for this writer is a 71/80. Very good job Mr. Folger.

Why does water expand when it freezes?

When I was little, I always wondered about the little bubbles that sometimes formed in a cube of ice. I could never understand why it was there and why it wouldn't just freeze like the rest of water. I later discovered that the bubble is just water that didn't freeze yet. But one think I never noticed is the uniqueness of water from other liquids. It's supposedly very healthy for us and it serves us so much value since it doesn't do what other liquids do - contract when it freezes.

Why is it that water doesn't contract? Water does contract, but as not much as most liquids do. Water stops contracting at four degrees Celsius and then starts to expand.

This expansion is due to the body of the water molecule. Hydrogen bonds are created where each hydrogen atom forms a line between two oxygen atoms. The bonds become stronger the more lower the temperature gets which creates more space in the crystalline structure. This is why ice is more dense than its liquid form and floats on water.

Imagine a world where water doesn't expand when it freezes. There'll be a lot less water in our oceans, so the earth wouldn't be the same as it is now. Underwater creatures would freeze during the winter and they would die. Plus, it would be a lot more difficult for humans to navigate the worlds oceans. Water's unique trait is quite strange, yet quite helpful in its own cool way.

The Second Coming of Gene Therapy

“For the first two years of her life, my daughter, Katlyn, was knocking on heaven’s door every day,” says Daisy Demerchant, a 26-year-old mom living in Centreville, New Brunswick, just north of Maine. 


 I like this lede from the article "The Second Coming of Gene Therapy" because it made me interested in what the speaker was talking about. I normally don't like ledes that start with a quote, but this one worked for me. The rest of the paragraph provided information about a disease called "Bubble Boy" or severe combined immunodeficiency. This lede was attention grabbing and was meant for a reader with a heart. People will most likely feel for the womans' daughter and want to know what's wrong with her. That will make them read on and discover more about the truth of gene therapy.

Are there other universes out there?

People live in their own world. There's so much about our own world that we just don't know. Science is such a broad entity that continues to expand as time goes on. Yet, how much more can science expand from just Earth. Outside of this world, we know of other planets, planetary systems, galaxies and a few other aspects of space that make up this interesting thing called the universe. But, what if there are eyes looking upon us as we are struggling to look upon them? What if there's a strange species examining us under a super advanced telescope while our technologies are just catching up?

There are many theorists and cosmologists who question the theory of more than one universe. One question that comes to mind is how could science ever discover another universe? According to the Space website, when the "Big Bang" happened it was said that life and everything as we know it was created out of nothing. The science of quantum mechanics, that is made of atoms, helps us discover more about the universe.

It says that matter and energy is an unpredictable event that can appear out of nowhere in the vacuum of space. Cosmologists say these quantum fluctuations are what created the "Big Bang." So there's a theory that if these fluctuations can create one universe, why can't they create another universe or more?

There is also the theory that there are multi-universes. In our solar system, every planet has their own stars. Almost every star is the center of other planetary systems. Thousands of these solar systems forms galaxies. They also have a center in which all planetary systems revolve around it. But does our universe also have a center that other universes revolve around?

There are only theories that specualte whether there is more than one universe in existance. Cosmologists are only theorizing and trying to gather enough scientific evidence to prove this theory. Yet, science is still yet to know for sure whether this universe is truly alone.

Fiesty Little Jewel

On my first nature walk, I spotted many beautiful flowers and plants. There were a few bugs like bees that had a interesting nature about them as they buzzed from flower to flower. I couldn't help but take pictures of these spectacles. But one of the plants that sparked my interest was the Jewelweed. It has many names, but a common name for this plant is the Spotted Touch-Me-Not. I knew nothing of this flower and didn't examine it more as my quest at the time was for the Staghorn Sumac.

The Jewelweed (Impatiens aurea) gets the nick-name touch-me-not because once anything disturbs the flower, it shoots out its seeds. The seed pod shoots out seeds whenever it's ripe. I wanted to try this out for myself, but I couldn't find the flower again on my second nature walk. This feisty plant got away from me this time, but hopefully I'll be able to find it again.

This herb grows usually during the summer and grows from 3 to 5 feet. It normally lives in wet soil beside streams and bodies of water. It's flower grows in different colors of purple, pink, white, yellow and scarlet. It's leaves are thin, oval shaped and have a green color.

The leaves contain tannin which can be used as a remedy once its leaves are boiled in lard and ointment. The juice of the herb can be used to relieve irritation especially from poisonous plants which it ironically grows next to at times.

This plant is just all to amazing. If you're interested in seeing this plant for yourself, it's best to catch it in September before it gets too cold in wetland areas. I know I want to catch a glimpse of it again.

Best Lede of the week

I've noticed a lot of people chose this same lede this week, but I agree that it was the best. The lede from the article "Bathing, but not Alone" was very interesting. It pulled me right in. It was informational and relateable to the reader. I learned something about bacteria in my shower that I never even thought about before. The reader can learn so much in just the lede, so I believe that it's just enough to pull the reader in and maybe even finish reading the story.

Best Lede:

There are some things it is better just not to think about. Like the 10,000 bacteria you inhale with each breath in the average office building. Or the 10 million bacteria in each glass of tap water. Microbiologists have now added something else to the list of things too gross to contemplate: the deluge of bacteria that hit your face and flow deep into your lungs in the morning shower.

Desire for Raspberries (maybe not...)

I went hiking behind the dorms right by the Saranac Lake on a quest to find a unique plant. The scenery is so beautiful. The sound of the river in the background is such a relaxing escape from the stress of school. It calmed my troubled soul as I noticed the different plant life in the area. There was all kinds of wildlife like squirrels, bugs, and plants. Yet, some were too hidden in the depths of the trees above for me see. I eventually came across a plant that reminded me of raspberries. I was wondering if it was a fruit, but with closer inspection, I noticed it was more of a plant. The shrub definitely caught my attention. I wanted to know more about this special plant. Yet, I knew nothing about it.

I frantically searched the internet looking for more information about my plant. I put in keywords like maroon, burgundy, fuzzy, northeastern, New York, red, raspberry, whatever I could think. The search results were usually nothing close to what I was looking for. People even came up. I could never understand that. After an hour or two of hopeless searching, I gave up and decided to ask my professor. He told me it would be best to ask a biology professor which was exactly what I did.

My quest to discover more about my plant was now over. I showed forest ecologist Kent Adams a picture the plant and he was able to tell me what it was. The plant is called a Staghorn Sumac (Rhus hirta). It's from the Anacardiaceae family. I wonder if this plant has anything to do with the heart? (Anacardiaceae) This plant is actually used for tea, pink lemonade, and for tan hides. Native Americans used the leaves and fruits for black ink and the dried leaves for smoking mixtures. It makes me curious as to if they use this same plant in the hookah lounge here in Plattsburgh.

The Staghorn lives along hardwood forest edges, dry uplands and old fields. It grows from 15 to 30 feet. It can be seen in various states of the United States. This plant blooms in different colors of red, yellow and green. The leaf color is green on the top and pale on the bottom. It's colors show more during the fall and its twigs appear more like antlers during the winter. For more fun facts about this plant, go here. Hopefully, you'll enjoy discovering more about this plant as much as I did.

The concept of Birth Order

As the youngest child, I always felt like I needed to catch up with my oldest brother in everything. It felt like almost every minute I would hear: "Rodney got all A's in this class, Rodney never had problems with this subject; Rodney always behaved well, etc." I'd never hear the end of it. I always felt pressure to do better than him in almost everything.

So I stumbled upon an article called "Birth Order: Fun to Debate, but how Important"  which grabbed my interest as soon as my eyes hit screen. It discussed the issue of birth order in families. It was about the differences between the second child and the first child in a family in relation to birth order. Parents who have a second child normally want to make sure they don't repeat the same mistakes they made with their first child. They also try to make sure they do the same things right and try to improve on being a parent. I feel like with my own parents they tried to be more liberal and weren't as strict on me as they were with my brother. The article also stated how younger siblings also try to play catch up with their elders. I can relate to this notion because my family was always hard on me about my grades and behavior because they wanted me to be just like my brother or even better than he was. It makes me question whether parents are trying to create a line of successful achievements with each child; the younger the child, the more successful they'll be or the more children they have, the more chances they'll have to make the next child better. The article also brought up the idea that younger children usually start to talk later than their elder siblings. I actually started talking when I was three years old. My mother told me that my doctor thought I would never learn. Yet, my brother helped me with my speech like the older sisters stated in the article. Then one day I was able to talk (I've been doing really well for myself actually.) It makes me question if doctors really know what they're doing when they diagnose someone or if they just want to make a quick diagnosis and make their money. But maybe I'll save that idea for another blog.

This article made me understand a lot of things about myself and about my brother. It also highlighted a lot of ideas about the issue of birth order. Truly, everyone does take it personal when it comes to birth order. It raised many questions which will help all those misunderstood older, middle and younger children understand a little bit more who they are. It helped me. =).

Global Warming is not all to blame

A weird thing happened this summer. The weather was surprisingly cold. Almost everyday it would rain in heavy amounts or it would just drizzle. Whatever the amount of rain, it was always there waiting to put a damper on my summer. I thought with Global Warming, this summer would have been much warmer. But I guess the weather proved me wrong.

The weather has always been quite unpredictable. According to this article in the Science Times section of the New York Times, summers in the Arctic have been getting cooler. Scientists are saying that Global warming may not be the only reason for climate change, but the coming of another ice age that could last for the next few millenniums. Warming in the Arctic has seen significant change for 2,000 years. Yet, the effect of global warming and how humans have treated our planet allows Arctic ecosystems and sea levels to have a major change. This change can have a drastic effect on our planet as a whole.

The weather has always been an unpredictable force. We try our best to predict the outcome of our world's natural problems. Some theories are right and some theoires are wrong. Many scientists believe that the climate change is normal and that's it's supposed to happen. Some believe that it's because of the greenhouse gases in the earth's atmosphere that's all to blame. Some believe in both theories. Yet, this climate change is taking a real toll on how the biosphere is shaping. I believe both theories are right even though I thought we were already in an ice age. Hopefully, the truth will come to light one day and maybe we'll be able to save this planet before it's too late.

The Endeavors of Diving deep

There's so much mystery hidden in the depths of our worlds oceans. The discovery of what's unknown is an entity just waiting for us to reach. But sometimes our stretches for a tasteful enigma is far harder than we think.

Scientist Peter A. Rona has spent 33 years looking for a particular creature of the deep. He is an oceanographer at Rutgers University who has attempted numerous times to find a small organism that could be one of the oldest living fossils. He wrote a new research report about his findings with a team of colleagues. The scientist has pursued this creature many times, but his persistence stayed strong. The dark, intimidating depths of the creatures home was a place of interest for Rona as he searched. He has found that the creature, P. nodosum, lives in certain parts of the Atlantic bed. It has many tiny holes arranged in six-sided patterns and large ones forms of this creature have 200 to 300 holes. Scientists are questioning whether these patterns are burrows or body parts. This is a true challenge for Rona to solve. Only time will tell if he will be able to reach what his heart desires in discovering the unknown.
