If there is something that I learned about my own personal development journey is to run my own race and to focus on my own journey.

RUN YOUR OWN RACE

Este cuento transcurre en un intervalo de tres trillones de años Iniciando en el año 2061. 

Dos técnicos de sistemas trabajan asistiendo a Multivac, una gigantesca computadora de kilómetros de tamaño que ayudó a trazar las trayectorias para el hombre llegar a la Luna, Marte y Venus. El 14 de mayo de 2061 Multivac cumplió su tarea más importante: almacenar la energía del Sol y utilizarla en el planeta Tierra. 

Aunque la felicidad era inmensa porque la energía obtenida era suficiente para abastecer todos los gastos energéticos de la humanidad por 20 mil millones de años,  aun así, el sol y todas las estrellas en el universo moriran y  por lo tanto  la civilización humana. ¿Sabría Multivac como devolver toda la energía al sol después de que este muriera?.  Los técnicos le preguntaron. Multivac no tenía datos suficientes para responder. 

Multivac  evolucionó en ACs planetarias: computadoras de 150 kilómetros cuadrados, que habían hecho posible los viajes interestelares y los saltos hiperespaciales. Luego de esta, vino la Microvac, con un tamaño mucho menor que las AC’s planetarias y mucho más poderosa que Multivac.

Con la ayuda de una Microvac se trasladaba Jerrodd, Jerrodine y Jerrodette I y II desde la Tierra hasta el planeta X-23. Microvac conducía  la nave, la abastecía de energía y realizaba los cálculos para los saltos hiperespaciales.

Durante el recorrido Jerrodine pensaba en la cantidad de planetas y estrellas, y como las siguientes generaciones de humanos seguirian viajando a otros planetas en busca de un lugar para vivir.

Jerrodd hizo caer en cuenta a Jerrodine de que esa dinámica no iba a durar para siempre porque las estrellas, las unidades fundamentales de energía iban a morir en algún momento, ¡la entropía debe aumentar!. ¿Será que Microvac tendría alguna solución para esto?. Todavía no tenía datos suficientes para responder.

In this week's episode of English In A Teacup,  we will be revising the third conditional as well as learning about modal perfects.  To help us with these grammar topics, Miss Finesstocrat will be talking about regrets as she reminisces about the last few months, but will the episode have a happy ending for her? Let’s put the kettle on and find out!

ENGLISH IN A TEACUP EP10: REGRETS

The Step Pyramid of Djoser

A

The pyramids are the most famous monuments of ancient Egypt and still hold enormous interest for people in the present day. These grand, impressive tributes to the memory of the Egyptian kings have become linked with the country even though other cultures, such as the Chinese and Mayan, also built pyramids. The evolution of the pyramid form has been written and argued about for centuries. However, there is no question that, as far as Egypt is concerned, it began with one monument to one king designed by one brilliant architect: the Step Pyramid of Djoser at Saqqara.

B

Djoser was the first king of the Third Dynasty of Egypt and the first to build in stone. Prior to Djoser’s reign, tombs were rectangular monuments made of dried clay brick, which covered underground passages where the deceased person was buried. For reasons which remain unclear, Djoser’s main official, whose name was Imhotep, conceived of building a taller, more impressive tomb for his king by stacking stone slabs on top of one another, progressively making them smaller, to form the shape now known as the Step Pyramid. Djoser is thought to have reigned for 19 years, but some historians and scholars attribute a much longer time for his rule, owing to the number and size of the monuments he built.

C

The Step Pyramid has been thoroughly examined and investigated over the last century, and it is now known that the building process went through many different stages. Historian Marc Van de Mieroop comments on this, writing ‘Much experimentation was involved, which is especially clear in the construction of the pyramid in the center of the complex. It had several plans … before it became the first Step Pyramid in history, piling six levels on top of one another … The weight of the enormous mass was a challenge for the builders, who placed the stones at an inward incline in order to prevent the monument breaking up.’

Part 2 will be added later today. Stay tuned.
