“No cloud lasts for ever; neither is there such a thing as eternal sun-shine. From the darkest night the most beautiful morning is born and here I console myself. Human life is a true reflection of the life of nature.”

Let me tell you what I have been doing this last three days, I watched ‘The Big Bang Theory’ and finished the whole season one and season two for the total of 40 episodes 
It started when a friend of mind, a physicist himself, shared a link to one of its episodes, which contains tips on how to ask a girl out using the Schrödinger’s cat, on his facebook. I, then, couldn’t get enough of it. Btw, I wonder why physicist love cats so much.
“The wireless telegraph is not difficult to understand. The ordinary telegraph is like a very long CAT. You pull the tail in New York, and it meows in Los Angeles. The wireless is the same, only without the CAT.” – Albert Einstein
Isn’t summer break fun?!

The question remained unanswered until a few days ago. I was going back home from walking around enjoying Boston and it’s beautiful building. At the symphony station, which I didn’t visit a lot, I wait for quite a long time. I’m bored and I didn’t bring any book so I just look around. I read anything that I can read.

The Freedom Trail is not a building, it is a red (mostly brick) path through downtown Boston, Massachusetts that leads to 16 significant historic sites. The Freedom Trail was originally conceived in 1958 by local journalist William Schofield who was promoting the idea of linking important local landmarks with a pedestrian trail since 1951.
