Last week SintaKlaas has visited me three times but i won't publish my poems here for the simple reason that i did not work too much on them so you may get a wrong impression on me. I was a bit surprise to see him in school with his black servants throwing pepernot 'particles' all over the place when nobody was prepared for it.
Maybe i will talk more about my experience with Dutch traditions later but now i tell you something about what i do here. I have started my master in theoretical physics just a few months ago. Why did i choose this field? First because i was born as a theoretician and growing in understanding i found it very natural to develop my theoretical skills rather than working in a laboratory. Theoretical physics is a unique mix of mathematics and physics that gives (sometimes) answers to what happenes in nature using different theoretical models. In Physics theory and experiment goes hand-in-hand, you cannot do one without another. Even if sometimes the results may look opposite a good theoretician can explain where is the problem. And then the nice thing about being a theoretician is that you do not need more than a pen and some paper (and maybe a computer) to make different computations and to create theories but you need a lot of money and many engineers to set up a laboratory to confirm your theorethical predictions. My studies go in the direction of fields and particles so in the future (i hope) i will be able to answer some questions related to the elementary building blocks of matter and the interaction between them. My theachers here are busy with quantizing gravity, modeling superstrings or describing black holes phenomena. Having great professors that are famous worldwide for their accomplishments it is so easy to attack the top theories of physics !
