Dear Esther

Posted on by

To get a feeling of dying, play the video game Dear Esther till the end.

— Me@2012.12.16

When you finish a video game, you go back to the real world;

when your real world is over, you go back to your realer world.

There is another theory, that in a car crash, Esther was put in a coma, and the voice is her husband talking to her, in hopes that she can hear him. She wanders along beaches and through caves that are filled with sometimes strange things, things that are bits and fragments of what she is hearing and what her mind is putting together. At the end when Esther jumps, it is possible her heart rate increased, showing up on the hospital monitor, which would explain the voice at the end saying “Come back,” and the darkness at the end would probably be her dying in the coma.

Past papers 26.1

Posted on by

這段改編自 2010 年 6 月 15 日的對話。

我先給功課你們。你想拿什麼 grade（成績等級）？

（LMC：可以拿什麼 grade？）

如果要拿到 A 級成績，你就要做足，總共 20 年的 past papers（歷屆試題）。

（CPK：吓？你要我們下次見面前，完成 20 年的 past paper？）

當然不是。我要計一計，你們應哪一年的 past paper 開始做。你們將在 2011 年參加高考。倒數 20 年，即是你應該大概由 1990 年的那一份，開始操練。那你們在下次見我時，就要遞交完成了的 1990 年 past paper。

你練習 past paper 時，記住要「計時間、計分數」，然後還要做改正，記低需要背誦的重點，於「魔法筆記」之中。不懂改正的地方，就正正是下次問我的問題。

Quantum entanglement 2

Posted on by

EPR paradox, 7

Some people have interpreted this as telling us that “everything is connected to everything else” or that “quantum mechanics entangles us all in one universal whole.”

After all, the reasoning goes, at the big bang everything emerged from one place since, we believe, all places we now think of as different were the same place back in the beginning.
