“Había ­a una vez una niña que sabía mucho de palabras. Mucho. Sólo que tenía un problema. Sí. Ella era incapaz de pronunciar la palabra espuma. Esa es la clave de un libro que podremos leer, quizás, hacia el próximo mes de octubre. Es posible que lo publique la editorial Progreso, aunque aun no existe contrato alguno que lo garantice. El libro fue escrito en Monterrey y su autor se llama Paulino Ordoñez. Nota@Milenio

“Is a Mexican theoretical physicist who, in 1994, proposed a remarkable scheme for faster-than-light travel, now widely known as the Alcubierre Warp Drive.

Alcubierre was born in Mexico City and lived there until 1990 when he entered the graduate school at the University of Wales, Cardiff.

In 1994, he received his Ph.D. for research in numerical general relativity, using high-speed computers to solve Einstein’s gravitational field equations.

After leaving Wales in 1996, he worked for a time at the Max Planck Institute for Gravitational Physics in Potsdam, Germany, where he developed new numerical techniques to describe the physics of black holes that spin down due to collision.

Since 2002 he has worked at the Nuclear Sciences Institute of the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM), where he continues to conducts research in numerical general relativity. “

“The achievements of Arthur C. Clarke, unique among his peers, bridge the arts and sciences. His works and his authorship have ranged from scientific discovery to science fiction, from technical application to entertainment, and have made a global impact on the lives of present and future generations. Arthur C. Clarke was the son of an English farming family, born in the seaside town of Minehead, Somerset, England on December 16, 1917. In 1998, his lifetime work was recognized by H.M. The Queen when he was honored with a Knighthood – formally conferred by Prince Charles in Sri Lanka two years later. ”

“Bookies cursing, cars reversing, I had the Bottle of Smoke. Glasses steaming, vessels bursting, I had the Bottle of Smoke. Slip a fifty to the wife, and for each brat a crisp new five. To give me a break on a Saturday night when I had the Bottle of Smoke. Priests and maidens drunk as pagans, they had the Bottle of Smoke. Sins forgiven and celebrations, they had the Bottle of Smoke.”

“A Hibernophile is a person who is fond of Irish culture, Irish language and Ireland in general. Its antonym is Hibernophobe. The term is often used in particular for people all over the world (in America especially in areas where a large number of Irish diaspora settled) who ostensibly base their business, political, or social practices on like of or admiration for Irish models. In some cases, Hibernophilia represents an individual’s preference of Irish culture to their own; or the belief that Irish culture is superior, or appreciation of Irish history. In some cases a Hibernophile may also be a Plastic Paddy, a person who appropriates stereotypical aspects of Irish culture without understanding it. The term is often used as a pejorative in Ireland.” Hibernophile@Wikipedia.

“Mayday is an emergency code word used internationally as a distress signal in voice procedure radio communications. It derives from the French venez m’aider, meaning ‘come to my aid’/”come [to] help me.” It is used to signal a life-threatening emergency by many groups, such as police forces, pilots, the fire brigade, and transportation organizations. The call is always given three times in a row (“Mayday Mayday Mayday”) to prevent mistaking it for some similar-sounding phrase under noisy conditions, and to distinguish an actual mayday call from a message about a mayday call.”
