I’m really a fan of the dynamic system theory. This scientific model is based on cause and effect. The preposition of cause and effect is time, because in order to have cause, you will need something to happen at time one, and this cause will influence an effect which will happen in time two. However, we have shown that in the Quantum universe, for example, time isn’t what we thought it was. It’s probably not linear anyway, and that might be a model that can’t explain physics to some degree.

I found this document while cleaning up my dropbox. It’s the reflection I wrote about my time at the Diagnostic Decision Making group at the Radboud Unversity Nijmegen. I thought this was an interesting document to share with you.

Read on to find out what I think about my internship at DDM

This is a great video about how we can educate our children for the world of tomorrow.

Watch that video! It is enlightend and sooo beautiful!

Dear Causality,

I really like you – I do.
When I first met you in my stats course A I was so enthusiastic I tried to explain to everyone that an association does not need to be causal and that Y could cause X, just as well as X could be the cause of Y. I then went on to explain that there could also be Z, that influences both X and Y and that temporal order does suggest causality, but does not prove it.

However I have not managed to give a good picture of you. You seem to be everywhere, even if it is just a faint association, but you are also totally misunderstood. Beeing everything seems equal to being nothing.

Sorry that I have failed you, but after attempt number 54 to explain your nature to some (normally) very intelligent people – I gave up. I can’t bear the burden anymore. WHY ARE YOU SO HARD TO UNDERSTAND?

I’ll keep you in my heart forever – but I will not be able to tell your story anymore. Maybe it was a lack of ability to explain all about you – or you might just be a construct of our mind. I just switch to dynamic systems theory and visit you from time to time.

Hope you have a good life! It was good to know you!
Your Martin

Yeah…

It seems that finally I have made a huge move towards finishing my study. My experiment if now online and I hope that this will increase the number of people that take part in the study. Just when everything was finished the server crashed, but luckily it only took only two hours to restore it.

I am also busy writing my first draft of my master thesis, which feels really good.

Over two weeks I am going to present my research at an international conference…I am really looking out for this and I hope that I can present my whole dataset….it would be sooo cool.

So I’ll probably finish with my master sometime during the summer. Yippieh!
So I’ll probably finish with my master sometime during the summer NEXT YEAR.
