Welcome
Recently people are starting to get concerned about different technologies being developed in the different science and technology fields, and the different benefits for society. I would like to talk about how technology is a positive aspect in my personal life, making it a benefit and a essential part of my daily life.
2013 has been a year where science and engineering have taken amazing steps for the benefit of human kind, and it was the year when I got most involved with these topics. During this year, the different sciences got me interested to look deeper into what they can offer to everybody, especially physics and the different roots derived from this externes field.
The Higgs boson or Higgs particle, whose discovery was announced at CERN (European Organization for Nuclear Research) on 4th of July 2012, was confirmed in March 2013 making possible the confirmation of a Higgs field, which is essential for the Standard Model of particle physics. This theory concerns with electromagnetic, weak and strong nuclear interactions, which consider the dynamics of subatomic particles.
After reading an article about the discovery of the Higgs I go into the necessity of knowing more about this field. Luckily for me during Fall 2013 I had to take a physics course at The University of Texas at El Paso. Although it was classic mechanics class, I had the opportunity to meet an awesome professor. His name is Angel Sánchez Cecilio, a theoretical physicist from the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM), a young and experienced professor in the fields of Nuclear and Sub nuclear physics with different research papers on these topics. Although the course I was taking at the moment explained only the basic concepts of classic mechanical physics, he took the time and patience to explain me the different concepts of the Higgs boson and the other particles involved in the Standard Model.
The idea of having a one-inch long formula, which could be able to describe how the entire universe works, made me think deeper into what I should do to be part of the scientific revolution of the 21st Century. The further reading of these publications made me do research on this topic. During my research I found out about Michio Kaku, a Summa Cum Laude theoretical physicist at Harvard University. At first I did not know who he was or what he had done in science, but reading his biography I noticed something really impressive at an early age. His early development took the attention of Edward Teller, "the father of H-bomb", by creating a particle accelerator while he was in high school. He attended the University of California, Berkeley to receive his Ph.D. in 1972 and in the same year he became a lecturer at Princeton University. His current publications cover different topics in particle and theoretical physics such as string theory, supersymmetry, supergravity, and the standard model.
While reading some of his different publications I started thinking about how every single aspect that and movement around us makes what we are today. This took my interest into two completely different topics: material sciences and energy. Although these are very broad topics, they are the base of every single historic technological advance in human history.

The different developments we have seen in the last 20 years have been significant in the daily life of every single one of us. Since the moment we wake up until we go back to sleep, engineering and technology is always around us making our lives easier in different aspects.
A generation goes, and a new one comes; but earth keeps is infinite. These words highlight the contrast that exists between mother earth and humanity. Even when earth has suffered a large amount of damages, it has the capability to resist and keep generating life. |
Since World War I a period of development in transportation, communication, and other technological and scientific fields have seen incredible advances. All the developments for the last 100 years have brought economic changes never seen before. The changes have permitted a large amount of people to enjoy a complete new and redesigned lifestyle that was only seen in Sci-Fi movies.
