During mathematician David Hilbert's lifetime, there was a push to establish mathematics as a logical construct. Hilbert attempted to axiomatize (Axiomatize means to express a subject using a set of fundamental assumptions (axioms) from which everything else can be logically derived.) all of mathematics as Euclid had done with geometry. He and others who attempted this saw mathematics as a deeply philosophical game, but a game nonetheless. Henri Poincaré believes that the existence of non-Euclidean geometry proved that Euclidean geometry, the longstanding geometry of flat surfaces, was not a universal truth, but rather one outcome of using one particular set of game rules. In 1960, Nobel physics laureate Eugene Wigner coined the phrase, ''the unreasonable effectiveness of mathematics'' pushing strongly for the idea that mathematics is real and discovered by people. Wigner pointed out that many purely mathematical theories have proven decades or even centuries later to be the framework necessary to explain how the universe has been working all along. For instance, the number theory of British mathematician Godfrey Hardy, who had boasted that none of his work would ever be found useful in describing any phenomena in the real world, helped establish cryptography. Another piece of his purely theoretical work became known as the Hardy-Weinberg law in genetics and won him the Nobel Prize. Fibonacci stumbled upon his famous sequence while looking at the growth of an idealized rabbit population. Mankind later found the sequence everywhere in nature, from sunflower seeds and flower petal arrangements to the structure of a pineapple, even the branching of bronchi in the lungs. Mathematical knot theory, first developed around 1771 to describe the geometry, was used in the late 20th century to explain how DNA unravels itself during the replication process. It may even provide key explanations for string theory.

Or is math the native language of the universe itself, existing whether we find its truths or not? The Pythagoreans of 5th-century Greece believed numbers were both living entities and universal principles. Plato argued mathematical concepts were concrete and as real as the universe itself, regardless of our knowledge of them. Euclid, the father of geometry, believed nature itself was the physical manifestation of mathematical laws. Others argue that while numbers may or may not exist physically, mathematical statements definitely don't. Their truth values are based on rules that humans created. Mathematics is thus an invented logic exercise, with no existence outside mankind's conscious thought, a language of abstract relationships based on patterns discerned by brains built to use those patterns to invent useful but artificial order from chaos.

"Give me blood, Fill my heart, Every last vein, Ram thoughts into my skull ! I'm not finished yet with earthly life, Not finished with love on this planet." -Vladimir Mayakovsky

I've always admired Asa Butterfield's performances, especially in the films he made as a child. He carries himself with a cetain melancholy as though an old soul had found itself in the body of a boy. There could hardly have been a better actor to play Hugo: a boy who, far too young, is forced to survive in a world of adults.

At 5 a.m. yesterday, I drifted off to sleep having just finished what may well be the most loveable film I've ever seen. I dremt that the sky was full of whimsical moons, stars and spirals that fell down like meteors into the grass only to explode into a burst of colour. And that is basically what Hugo is all about: a film that mixes into your imagination with such magic that even your dreams cannot help but blend into it, the kind of magic that lingers long after the credits roll sprinkling the ordinary meloncholic machinary of the world with stardust. Hugo is less a film than a love letter: to childhood, to wonder, and to the dreamers who taught the world how to imagine. It follows an orphan boy who lives within the station's clocks, trying to repair the mysterious automaton left behind by his late father. As the story progresses we slowly unravel the secrets of George Mellies, who at first appears to be nothing more than an old grumpy toyshop owner, but is revealed to have the most fascinating past.

How did you learn to do that?" asked Hugo. "Books," answered Isabelle.

I've become such a night person...

"I address you all tonight for who you truly are: wizards, mermaids, travelers, adventurers, and magicians. You are the true dreamers." Brian Selznick, The Invention of Hugo Cabret

هذا الalbum الكامل كلش حلوة الvibes مالته

اعشق هاي الاغنية. سمعتها فد يوم بreel كانت بعدها ما released. حرفيا انتظرت اليوم الي تكون بي released بspotify حتى اسمعها كاملة و صارت بسرعة من مفضلاتي. To me the music carries such an Arabic touch; it instantly takes me back to my childhood, far beyond the stars and right into the castle of my imagination.
