I agree with ya, brother man. I am who I am and act what I am. Too ethnic by the way I eat my food with fish sauce or uncoordinated attire, well too bad because you’re getting exactly what you see…

Black hair with a slight slant in my eyes fitting well in the background, it don’t mean I don’t see all the shite that goes on. Nor am I hired to carry out white man’s dirty work. Hell f-ing no! If that is the case, I might as well stay put back in VN and done that for commies. This is the land of the free and opportunity. If the shitehole community I live is diep in sh@t (no pun intended), I move to another that suits my taste or another job that values my skills, none of that hired fall guy for the piece of shite making gobs of money above me.

Risk = reward, larger the risk, higher the pay; hell f-ing no, I am taking all the risk and getting underpaid. If the boss man wants me to dig trenches with other diep sh#ts and they pose a danger to me, I just ask for mo’ money. Then again, that’s why their leader is making bank from extorting the locals and political party, for working in a dangerous environment with all the diep sh@ts and morons.

I don’t want to take up any more of Bolsavik’s blog space; after all, we have save it for JK’s random responses.

Thanks in advance folks…Night.

For his astronomical research, Professor Trinh Xuan Thuan makes use of the largest telescopes on Earth (Kitt Peak, Hawaii, Chile…) and in space (Hubble, Spitzer…). In late 2004, thanks to observations made with the Hubble Space Telescope, he discovered the youngest known galaxy in the universe (I Zwicky 18), a discovery that was amply discussed in the international press.

In addition to his research, Professor Trinh Xuan Thuan teaches a course at the University of Virginia which is known as “Astronomy for Poets”. Students with a non-scientific background take this course to discover the wonders of the Universe related in non-technical language.

Prof. Thuan has published many books for non-scientific readers. Among his most famous are: The Secret Melody, a panorama of modern cosmology and its philosophical implications; An Astrophysicist, an Autobiography; Birth of the Universe – The Big Bang and After, an illustrated history of the Big Bang; Chaos and Harmony, a synthesis of the perspectives of scientific revolutions in the 20th century and of their philosophical implications; The Quantum and the Lotus, a dialogue with the Buddhist monk Matthieu Ricard on convergences and divergences of science and of Buddhism in their descriptions of reality; Origins, a coffee-table book illustrated with splendid photographs of the cosmos, which tells the 14 billion-year history of the Universe from the Big Bang to the emergence of the life and consciousness; and The Ways of Light, explaining the Universe through the signals it sends us in the form of light. This latter book has been awarded the 2007 Grand Prix Moron by the Académie francaise.

All of his books were originally written in French and have since been translated into at least 20 languages, including English. Professor Trinh Xuan Thuan is regularly an invited guest on television and radio talk shows in the USA, France and elsewhere.
