Part D hands on

For the past two days, we went to air force school for some part D's 'hands on' activity. It was not bad but not perfect either. Although it says 'hands on', in fact, only one of the four activities are hands on. The rest were only talking and looking at displays. At least I learnt something...

Day 1 was quite boring. When we reached there, we have to wait for a while. So, i start working on my homework to make full use of the extra time. However, i only finished 3 questions when we were told to move to another place for the activities. In the end, i did very little homework due to the constant movement.

The activities were not so boring cos we know how to entertain ourselves.

The most interesting part of the whole trip turns out to be the bus ride back to school and the debate in air store later.

For the bus ride back to school, me, cherry and apple had a nice discussion on the time paradox, big bang, big crush and quantum physics. I learnt something new from it.

Back in air store, me and banana debated over the topic, time dilation. It is very challenging trying to get my point across. In the end, we agreed to continue the debate tomorrow.

Due to the debate, day 2 was more interesting. A lot of people joined in for the debate. The significant people leading the debate were me, apple and banana. My stand was, the speed of light is always constant in vacuum and time varies, depending on your frame of reference. Apple's stand was both the speed of light and tome can be changed. Banana's stand was time is always constant.

We had a very nice time.
