Ask a Ninja: "Physics"


In which our favorite Ninja explains his relationship with physics... only wishes gravity wouldn't make him fall back to the ground so fast.

My man

Today U.S. President Barack Obama has won the Nobel Peace Prize... I think he fully deserves it and I wish him all the best with his diplomatic efforts.

UPDATE: of course, with the hindsight of two years after Mr. Obama's election, the let-down could not be more accute. Certainly he finally killed Osama Bin Laden but who cares? so far President Obama has shown an incompetence on all things business and economics which might have made John Maynard Keynes scratch his head... indeed when Mr Keynes was around writing academic papers, the USA had no debt and obviously spending lots of government money to support the economy was a no-brainer. Deleveraging ought to have been the priority of the past two years to avoid the US becoming the next Greece. It might very well be too late now. And even Mr Obama's project to reduce nuclears arms together with the Russians, for which I was previously thankful above, is now foundering. President Obama's only achievement so far it seems, remains to not be George W. Bush. Shame, shame...
