The Tomato Physics

Maybe since I started the 9th grade, my ability on math got better, all thanks to an uncle, he showed me that the math wasn't my enemy and the most important, that the math was invented to simplify life, and with that change of mentality I go closer to the sciencie, so I began to research a lot about the hole world, but specially on the physics field. So from this area, I choose one of my favorite science physics, and maybe the best physicist of the whole history, Sir Isaac Newton.

It is believed that Newton was born on december 25th, of 1643, the christmas day, on the little town of Woolsthorpe. His father died before Isaac arrived to the world, and his mother left him with his grandma for 9 years, until she came back with a new husband, husband that the little Isaac hated, this made the personality of Isaac. He studied at the Cambrige University, the place where he developed all his knowloge and where he stayed all day and night, specially after the public humillation that he recived by Robert Hooke. One of the most important publication of Newton was the book 'Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica', an amazing book with a lot of demostration of the rules of nature, the first perception of calculus and the description of how the planets and the solar system works. Before his death Newton got the honor of being the president of the Royal Society, place that he stayed until his death on March 31th of 1727. 

In all the contribution that he made on physics, Newton also described the propagation of the sound, a real important fundament for the future and for my studies.

I admire Newton because he is the kind of person that made changes for the world, incresed the knowloge about the world in which we live and also described the universe.

The Tomato Band

The question of which is your favorite band, singer, or musician, is always hard to answer, because there will never be only one, especially for me, because I like some many different kinds of music and I am always opened to listen to new music, so I will name some of my favorite

band. I like the music of the Arctic Monkeys, Gustavo Cerati, Luis Alberto Spinetta, Blink-182, Green Day, George Harrison and Los Prisioneros, but maybe my favorite band is The Beatles, that is why I will talk about them. I know a lot about The Beatles, when I like something, I start to research all about that thing, and when I knew The Beatles, I listened to all the albums, I saw a lot of documentals and read some books about them. They appear on the 60's and from the beginning they played rock and roll, but as the time passed by, they experimented with the music and the thing they could do, so it's hard to define what type of music they played, so we say that they play rock. I like this band especially for their story and the importance of the band on the popular music, but the principal thing I like, is their music, I can listen to it over and over again their music without getting tired. I don't have a favorite song, there are so many songs that I like, but I have two favorite albums, Rubber Soul and Revolver, for me, these two albums are only one, and they are the transition of group of famous kids to a group of real musician who made history.

The Tomato Photos

There is a lot of photos that I like, from the simplest photo of the nature or some animal, until the amazing photos of the Hubble telescope, those pictures of the whole universe that made us feel so small and insignificant. But I decide to choose another kind of photo, something closer to us, but at the same time, a real mysterious, a historical photo. The photo I chose, is the murder of Lee Harvey Oswald, this photo was taken by Bob Jackson, the year was 1963, at that year, the president of the United States John F. Kennedy was shot when he was on his car. A whole investigation started to find the murderer, and everybody thinks that this story ended when they found the guilty of the murder. Lee Harvey Oswald was his name. but on November 24th of the same year, when the police was moving Oswald, a guy named Jack Ruby, crossed a whole crowd of curious people and reporters, overpass a police man and shot Oswald. This event made us think that Oswald didn't kill the president by himself, that the real murderers wanted to silence Oswald. After Ruby shot Oswald, he didn't say anything and until this day nobody knows, why he murdered Oswald. This kind of historical photos are a mysterious, and made an infinite number of theories of the murder of JFK and Oswald. Maybe we will never know who killed JFK and why they silenced Oswald.

Look at his face, it's hilarious.

The Tomato Beer

It's hard to choose a good day of celebration, a day which has a history, something to celebrate. An example of what a good celebration is, it is the Oktorber Fest, one of my favorite celebrations of the year. This beer fest is celebrated the first saturday after september 15th, it lasts 16 or 18 days. The origin of this festivity is on the celebration of the marriage of the King Ludwig I with Princess Therese of Saxe-Hildburghausen on Octorber 12th, 1810. In this royal event, all the citizens of Munich were invited to celebrate this event. It is celebrated on the Theresienwiese fields ("Theresa's Meadow"), named like that in honor of the Crown Princess, and has kept that name ever since. The Oktorber Fest is a Volksfest which means people's festival, this kind of festival has wine or beer everywhere and attractions like games of chance or skill, amusement rides and food and merchandise vendors. But in the Okterber Fest, the beer is the only drink you can have, and this beer is specially selected for this celebration. I like this festival a lot, because I like beer, but specially the real beer, made with love. I have never gone to the real Oktorber Fest in Germany, I only know the Chilean version, but one of my objectives is traveling to Germany and go to this huge festival.

The Tomato Technology

Hello there, and good morning, I was thinking on the old days, and how they lived at
that time, so I thought about the music, the only way that you can hear music at that
time, it was going to a bar, or a concert hall, you can only listen to live music. Since the
creation of the recorders, the music changed a lot, and gradually it got easier to be
listened old and new music. So I realized that one of my favourite piece of technology is
the music’s player, and not only a MP3 players or CD’s players, all kinds of stuff
related to the music, from vinyl’s to online players (like Spotify), but I mostly use my
smartphone to listen to music (so maybe that’s my favourite piece of technology), I got
my first cell phone with music player when I was a child and since then, I have never
left it. Since I got it, I listen to music every day, on the street, on the bus, everywhere I
use it to listen to music. I only put my headphone on, I choose what I want to listen and
I press the play bottom. So I thought that without a music’s player close, my life would
be more boring, I can’t imagine living on the old days without a nice music’s player.

The Tomato Future

When I was a child, I never thought in my future, when an adult asked me, what I wanted be when I grow up, I answered that I will study architecture, but as the time passed by I started to now the world of  computers, I started to like that, so I changed my mind to something related to that. But when I started to play the guitar, I could see that the music world was amazing, so I started to think about studying music, but as the time passed by, I wanted to know all about computers, even in my last year of school, I thought about studying astronomy, but when I saw the the career of sound, I chose inmediately, this career because it has the things I liked, the technology and science, the world of the exact knowledge, and the most important, the music, I can not imagine myself on a square job, doing the same thing over and over again. Until now, my experiencie has been very nice, my partners are great people, and the environment is really good (the good environment compensate the deficit of the faculty).

My future isn't clear, the possibilities with this career are many, but I don't want to choose only one, I want to explore all the things related to this career, from musical production until the physics of the sound.

The Tomato Life

Hello everyone, and welcome to an introduction about myself. My name is Gabriel Cartes, I came from Lampa, but I was born in Santiago and lived all my childhood in Pudahuel. I'm 18 years old and I like music since I was young, but I decided to keep close to this world recently. Also I like technology and science, that's the reason why I decided to study Sound. I studied at the Antilhue Elementary School until the sixth grade. For the seventh grade, I entered to the Liceo Lastarria, in which I ended my obligatory studies. I live in Lampa with my mother since last year, I took a long trip every day to arrive to the Downtown, but Lampa is a very peaceful place, in which you can left behind the annoying city. In my free time I like playing the guitar, maybe take a walk or spented the time on my computer, playing with my friends online.
