On Entropy and Quantum Leaps

The first weeks on my new job have slowly opened up a crack of the door to a whole new world. My humanities-geared brain has suddenly entered the world of technics, physics and, most of all, engineering. For a good week I felt that this development could best be compared to a quantum leap, but since last weekend (when the results of some important meetings finally settled in my grey mass) I actually see some structure in the informational entropy my brain suffered from in the past weeks. I now am (finally) capable of loosely marrying fuels composition and production plant/compressor/fuel station technology with the larger picture of law, politics, policies, environmental issues, the current European (dis)order, and the larger globalizing world... Feel free to share this glimpse of bliss with me... :)
Such developments often come in a package. Mine includes not only all I described above, but also meeting a lot of nice people from all over Europe, visiting interested sites (I recently saw a demonstration of a 900.000 euro solar-energy driven car, the Nuna III, that has won a race in Australia) and acquiring a lot of new English vocabulary. You know what? I think I like my new job!
P.s. May you be interested to, like me, get a bird's eye view of science as we have known it in the past and as we know it today, I highly recommend you the book A Short History of Nearly Everything by Bill Bryson. It took my humanities brain roughly 200 pages to really get into it, but now I cannot leave the book alone anymore! Enjoy the reading! :)
