Science Day :)

Today I have been to "Cite". It's a big tower only for science. There are 5 floors in that building.

I start my day by going to Amy' place, find something to eat. Then we catch a Metro to cite and reached there about Midday. I imagine that it's gonna be more fabulous than this according from the map and lots of advertising but it's fine. The ticket for each is 14.90 Euro plus Audio guide for 4 Euro which is useless, I think.

We started at the first floor, I mean we have to go up one level looking at "Water for all". There are lots of advertising on this but I think it's like nothing. Just see how much water human use per day. Then we went to "Mathametics" zone, I think this's quite fun. We start at a circle room which can spin around itself. There is a line on the floor, balls. The instructor suggest all of us to wall follow the room and then go back where I came from. One direction is like I'm walking to the center of the room which I think I follow the way the room spin. When I walk in another way, the room is like pushing me out to the wall and I think it's opposite with the way the room spin. This zone also have bubble in math shape like triangle, piramite, circle, etc. Mesuring the speed of a ball in an up side down bell. Thailand also has this in Pataya. Mesure how fast the water can be filled up in many mathametics shape - circle, triangle, square, etc. There are lots of Physic' law I have learned from school which I can't remember at all like balls in a box that slope down to 4 sides of the square box which have a spinner to go to another side, I'm surprise with the speed of the balls. The spinner is sooo small and I think it does not spin very fast but the balls do in the opposite way, they go very fast. There is also the theory about the possibility which I have learned from school in grade 11 and also in the 2nd year in the university but I forgot all of that :p

Then we bought chichken sandwich (in French style) for 5 Euro!!! eating in a rocket speed then we went to "Sounds" and "genes" which are not interesting at all.

I want to look at "Light games" zone which is something to do with my sight, seeing illusion. I also want to look at "Images" zone, it is about "reflexsion". But most of all, I want to look at the "Screenings of 3-D films" it said that I have to ware glasses with polarising lenses.

We then went to "Star wars" section. I like watching at the making of star wars. It let me know a lot about making films. They use salt being like a water fall but it must be quite far. Using flow water being like a close up waterfall. Using photograph like a background and then paste people in the screen (they don't have to be in a blue screen, all they want is just the same environment (in this case is "sand"). And the rest I think I know, like Yoda that has to use computer making it the same as all creature but I don't know that they need a marker for the actor to watch in the right place so they use stand in for marking up but some use just a sticker with a number of order to look at. I think that's all I've gotten from "star wars" zone.

Then we went to a 3-D theater. This one is really 3-D because the screen is around all of us. It's about "special effect". The movies that are shown in the theater are "Star wars", "Jumanji", "Kazam", "Independent day", "King Kong". I just know that they use the real human in lion in "Jumanji" and use like 3 people to control its' face. The same as Yoda in episode 4 to 6 that they have to use 3-4 people to control how he walk. In Jumanji, they use 2 people to break the house into 2 peaces. For car that is stepped by elephant, they use some machine that can break the car automatically and then use computer to generate an elephant to step on the car, the step of elephant must be matched with the car that is broken. For Independent day, they use a small white house and Empire State in the bome scene. The same as UFO that is made in a small form. For Kazam, they use blue screen almost of them.

Then we went to for dinner. Then we went back to our place.

That's all for today :)
