Blaise Pascal (1623-1662)
08.56



Blaise Pascal adalah ilmuwan matematika terkemuka yang lahir pada 19 Juni 1623 di Clermont Ferrand, Perancis. Ayahnya ialah Etienne Pascal yang bertindak sebagai penasihat kerajaan dan akhirnya diangkat sebagai Presiden Organisasi the Court of Aids di kota Clermont. Ia bersama dua saudara perempuannya ditinggal oleh ibunya saat masih berusia 3 tahun. Pada tahun 1631, keluarganya pindah ke Paris.

Semenjak berumur 12 tahun, Blaise Pascal sudah sering diajak ayahnya menghadiri perkumpulan diskusi matematika. Dari ayahnya pula, ia mendapatkan pelajaran tentang ilmu bahasa, khususnya bahasa Latin dan Yunani. Sedangkan ilmu matematika dipelajarinya sendiri. Sang ayah memang sengaja tidak mengajarkan imu matematika kepadanya lantaran semata-mata untuk memancing rasa keingintahuan anaknya.
Akhirnya, Blaise Pascal terbiasa berksperimen dengan bentuk-bentuk geometri, serta menemukan rumus-rumus geometri standar dan memberikan nama rumus tersebut dengan namanya sendiri.
Setelah kepindahannya ke kota Rouen pada tahun 1640, Blaise Pascal terus belajar keras, yang menguras tenaga dan pikirannya. Usahanya pun tidak sia-sia. Ia berhasil menemukan teorema geometri, yang baginya merupakan sesuatu yang sangat menakjubkan. Sehingga, ia menyebut teorema tersebut sebagai hexagram ajaib.
Penemuan itu merupakan sebuah teorema tentang persamaan persilangan antargaris. Penemuan ini bukanlah sebuah teorema yang sekadar menghitung keseimbangan bentuk, yang saat itu sama sekali belum pernah dikembangkan menjadi sebuah cabang ilmu matematika tersendiri.
Penemuan tersebut disusun oleh Blaise Pascal menjadi sebuah buku yang berjudul Essay on Conics, yang selesai pada tahun 1640. Ia menulis penemuannya ini ketika masih berumur 16 tahun. Selain itu, ia juga menulis tentang hidrostatik, yang menjelaskan tentang persamaan benda cair (equilibrium of fluids). Penemuan tersebut dikenal pula sebagai Hukum Pascal, yang belum sempat dipublikasikan hingga akhir hayatnya. Hukum Pascal dianggap penting karena terkait dengan teori benda cair dan teori benda gas, serta perubahan bentuk keduanya yang dikenal dengan teori hidrodinamik.
Pada tahun 1658, Blaise Pascal mengalami sakit kepala yang luar biasa dan semakin parah. Akhirnya, ia meninggal pada 19 Agustus 1662. Beberapa eksperimen dan penemuannya baru dipublikasikan setelah kematiannya. Teori dan penemuannya memberikan pengaruh besar terhadap perkembangan teori matematika, yang terus berkembang dan digunakan hingga saat ini.

The Band Perry-If I Die Young
02.51



If I die young, bury me in satin
Lay me down on a, bed of roses
Sink me in the river, at dawn
Send me away with the words of a love song

Uh oh, uh oh

Lord make me a rainbow, I'll shine down on my mother
She'll know I'm safe with you when she stands under my colors, oh and
Life ain't always what you think it ought to be, no
Ain't even grey, but she buries her baby

The sharp knife of a short life, well
I've had just enough time

If I die young, bury me in satin
Lay me down on a bed of roses
Sink me in the river at dawn
Send me away with the words of a love song

The sharp knife of a short life, well
I've had just enough time

And I'll be wearing white, when I come into your kingdom
I'm as green as the ring on my little cold finger,
I've never known the lovin' of a man
But it sure felt nice when he was holding my hand,
There's a boy here in town who says he'll love me forever,
Who would have thought forever could be severed by

The sharp knife of a short life, well,
I've had just enough time

So put on your best boys and I'll wear my pearls
What I never did is done

A penny for my thoughts, oh no, I'll sell them for a dollar
They're worth so much more after I'm a goner
And maybe then you'll hear the words I been singin'
Funny when you're dead how people start listenin'

If I die young, bury me in satin
Lay me down on a bed of roses
Sink me in the river at dawn
Send me away with the words of a love song

Uh oh (uh, oh)
The ballad of a dove (uh, oh)
Go with peace and love
Gather up your tears, keep 'em in your pocket
Save them for a time when you're really gonna need them, oh

The sharp knife of a short life, well
I've had just enough time

So put on your best boys and I'll wear my pearls

Shayne Ward-You're Not Alone

She's getting out of bed
At half past ten
She starts to comb her hair
Just an ordinary day
She looks at her reflection
Off the wall
Why do I care at all
Just an ordinary day
An ordinary day
That's hurting you
Don't hide out inside yourself
If you only let the sunshine on you
I promise you

You're not alone
When the lights go out at night
When you're feeling lost inside
You're not alone

You're not alone
When your world is falling down
I will be the one around
You're not alone

You're not alone
She's waiting for the bus it's 12.59
She's sitting on her own
Just an ordinary day
She's looking at the people
Passing her by
It could be you and I
They would never dream
Of slowing down
To see if she's alright
Don't hide out inside yourself
If you only let the sunshine on you
I promise you

You're not alone
When the lights go out at night
When you're feeling lost inside
You're not alone

You're not alone
When your world is falling down
I will be the one around
You're not alone

I'm hurting, I'm hurting
She's hurting, she's hurting

Shayne Ward-Breathless

If our love was a fairy tale
I would charge in and rescue you
On a yacht baby we would sail
To an island where we’d say I do
And if we had babies
they would look like you
It’d be so beautiful if that came true
You don’t even know how very special you are


You leave me breathless
You’re everything good in my life
You leave me breathless
I still can’t believe that you’re mine
You just walked out of one of my dreams
So beautiful you’re leaving me
Breathless

And if our love was a story book
We would meet on the very first page
The last chapter would be about
How I’m thankful for the life we’ve made
And if we had babies
they would have your eyes
I would fall deeper watching you give life
You don’t even know
how very special you are


You must have been sent
from heaven to earth to change me
You’re like an angel
The thing that I feel is stronger than love
believe me
You’re something special
I only hope that I’ll one day
deserve what you’ve given
But all I can do is try
Every day of my life

Justin Bieber-Up

Its a big big world
Its easy to get lost in it
You've always been my girl
And i'm not ready to call it quits

We make the sun shine in the moonlight
We can make the gray clouds into blue skies
I know its hard
But baby believe me
That we can go

Nowhere but up
From here
My dear
Baby we can go nowhere but up
Tell me what got to fear
We can take it to the sky past the moon through the galaxy
As long as you're with me baby
Honestly (honestly) with the strength of our love
We can go nowhere but up


Its a big big world
And i'm gonna show you all of it
I'm gonna lish you with pearls
From every ocean
That we're swimmin in

We make the sun shine in the moonlight
We can make the gray clouds into blue skies
I know its hard
But baby believe me
That we can go

Nowhere but up
From here
My dear
Baby we can go nowhere but up
Tell me what got to fear
We can take it to the sky past the moon through the galaxy
As long as you're with me baby
Honestly (honestly) with the strength of our love
We can go nowhere but up

Baby we were underground
We are on the surface now
We are gonna make it girl
I promise
If you believe in love
And you believe in us
We can go nowhere but up

Baby we can go
Nowhere but up
From here
My dear
Baby we can go nowhere but up
Tell me what we got to fear
We can take it to the sky past the moon through the galaxy
As long as you're with me baby
Honestly (honestly) with the strength of our love
We can go nowhere but up

Nowhere but up
Nowhere but up
Yeah
Nowhere but up

Justin Bieber-Stuck In The Moment
02.28



With you..With you
I wish we had another time
I wish we had another place

Now Romeo & Juliet
Bet they never felt the way we felt
Bonnie & Clyde
Never had to hide like
We do..We do

You and I, both know it can't work
It's all fun and games
'Til someone gets hurt
And I don't,
I won't let that be you

Now you don't wanna let go
And I don't wanna let you know
That there might be something real between us two
Who knew
Now we don't wanna fall but
We're trippin' in our hearts
And it's reckless and clumsy
Cause I know you can't love me here

I wish we had another time
I wish we had another place
But everything we have is stuck in the moment
And there's nothing my heart can do
To fight with time and space cause
I'm still stuck in the moment with you

See like Adam & Eve
Tragedy was a destiny
Like Sonny & Cher
I don't care
I got you baby

See we both
Fightin' every inch of our fibers
Cuz aint no way it's gonna end right but
We are both too foolish to stop

Now you don't wanna let go
And I don't wanna let you know
That there might be something real between us two
Who knew
And we don't wanna fall but
We're tripping in our hearts
And it's reckless and clumsy
And I know you can't love me here

I wish we had another time
I wish we had another place
But everything we have is stuck in the moment
And there's nothing my heart can do
But fight with time and space cause
I'm still stuck in the moment with you

See like
Just because this cold, cruel world say we can't be
Baby we both have the right to disagree
And I ain't with it
And I don't wanna be so old and gray
Reminiscing 'bout these better days
But convince just telling us to let go
So we'll never know

I wish we had another time
I wish we had another place
Cause everything we did
And everything we have is stuck in the moment
Yeahhhh

I wish we had another time
I wish we had another place
(Oh no no)
But everything we have is stuck in the moment
And there's nothing my heart can do
(Nothing my heart can do)
To fight with time and space
(And space)
I'm still stuck in the moment with you
