Mad world dance in Berlin

I saw a dance in front of the Brandenburger Tor yesterday.

I was surprised that a dance has such expression ability. So many things I don't know yet.

Mad world dance in Berlin (2014.3.8)

In the main part of the dance, without so much explanations, I can see (or it may just my misunderstandings) the Olympic athletes swim to the Fukushima daiichi led by the prime minister Shinzo Abe who declared "the "The radioactively contaminated water has been completely blocked." Then, Abe did nothing, but to demonstrate the fish safety, he ate the fish near the power plant. and so on.

My favorite part of this dance is the ending comment. Many can do satire and say, "oh bad... What's going on", I think it is important to show what is the problem, though, it's a bit depressing.

But the dancer's last comment was "Let's make a different future because it is possible if we all do something." I think this is a great message for the hope.

I like this dance and recommend to see, here you can find the movie. http://vimeo.com/88526070

By the way, the government decision announce page related leakage has been removed http://japan.kantei.go.jp/96_abe/decisions/2013/osensui_e.html. You can see the page in the Google cache with search keyword "Fukushima daiichi contaminated water" and follow the link. This may be some page reorganization, but it's a bit inconvenient.) and again, 100 ton's 2.3*10^9 Bq/l water leakage. (http://www.asahi.com/articles/ASG2N35BPG2NULBJ005.html) 2014.2.20.

Why parallelogram area is |ad-bc|?

Here is my question. The area of parallelogram is the difference of these two rectangles (red rectangle - blue rectangle). This is not intuitive for me. If you also think it is not so intuitive, you might interested in my slides. I try to explain this for hight school students. Slides: A bit intuitive (for me) explanation of area of parallelogram (to my site, external link) .

Geometric Multiplicity: eignvectors (2)

If eigenvectors of a matrix A are independent, it is a happy property. Because the matrix A can be diagonalized with a matrix S that column vectors are eigenvectors of A . For example, Why this is a happy property of A? Because I can find A's power easily. A^{10} is not a big deal. Because Λ is a diagonal matrix and power of a diagonal matrix is quite simple. A^{10} = SΛ^{10} S^{-1} Then, why if I want to compute power of A ? That is the same reason to find eigenvectors. Eigenvectors are a basis of a matrix. A matrix can be represented by a single scalar. I repeat this again. This is the happy point, a matrix becomes a scalar. What can be simpler than a scalar value. But, this is only possible when the matrix S's columns are independent. Because S^{-1} must be exist. Now I come back to my first question. Is the λ's multiplicity related with the number of eigenvectors? This time I found this has the name. Geometric multiplicity (GM): the number of in...

Tezuka Osamu's Black Jack, "Shrinking"

I like several novel authors. My first favorite author is probably Teduka, Osamu. I still love him. The list grows by adding Hoshi, Shinichi, Agatha Christie, Hermann Hesse, and so forth. My first favorite article of Tezuka was Atom as most of the (boy's) Tezuka fans did. But my favorite is Black Jack. I try to summarize one story, it is still quite vivid in my memory. I first read this story when I was 13 - 15 years old. I re-read it at least several times since Black Jack is composed of many short episodes. The title should be "ちぢむ (SHRINKING)" or it might be "縮む(Shrinking)". (It is not so convenient to translate this to English, since English does not have a system to say the exact same word in several ways. So I just simulate it with capital letters.) Black Jack is a genius surgeon, but he does not have the license. In short, his medical activity is illegal. His skill is top level in the world, but, the fee is also out-of-law expensive. In the story ...
