The Story of Sigma Men
40. Atomic
~ The truth of science is not absolute
[POV Uzzlah]
I went to the morning shift today. Seven o'clock should have arrived at the resto. After driving my sister Rian away to school, I rushed over.
If the morning, not too many employees who enter, can be half of the employees who enter in the afternoon shift because the morning visitors are not too crowded.
I parked my motorcycle in the parking lot, then headed for the kitchen. Yes, sure enough, there are only two or three kitchen people, the waiter is only one, that is myself.
I put my bag on the shelf, then went towards the direction where people were cooking. It's nice to get in the morning to have breakfast.
Before eating, I set foot on the floating ship and entered the bartender and coffee shop. Because it is familiar, it is certainly not difficult to ask for coffee to my colleagues here.
I slept at two o'clock last night. My eyes are still red and light-hearted because I've done too much about the calculus Zahid gave me.
After work, I will continue my studies. I want to repay my best friend.
Porridge and coffee became a meal this morning. While eating I spread my gaze towards the Musi River. The waves flowed heavily towards Ilir.
The coal transport ship went against the current, so there was an additional booster ship behind the large iron tub where the coal was housed.
I know based on the level of the process of formation of coal is divided into several classes, namely: anthracite, bituminous, sub-bituminous, lignite, and peat.
Chitala hypselonotus or Notopetrus hypselonotus is a typical fish of Palembang. The belida fish used to be scattered in the Musi River, only now the number is getting smaller.
Because it is increasingly rare and difficult to find, the price of this fish is quite high, of course, in addition to delicious, its benefits for the health of the body should not be doubted.
In the middle of the BKB courtyard, not far from the restaurant where I work, Belido Fish Monument was established. The shape is very similar to the original, distinctive, unique, and different from other types of fish.
The monument has a height of nine meters and the length of the fish statue reaches twelve meters. Big one. Of course it will still be visible even from a considerable distance.
Made of copper 1.2 mm thick and silver coated, the monument that was able to remove water from its mouth weighed up to three tons.
Belida fish is a typical fish Palembang and South Sumatra. Can be processed into pempek and kemplang kemplang typical Wong Kito.
Ah, I don't think breakfast is over. Continue to the kitchen. There were two visitors who came. Some of them wear ASN uniforms. Maybe I'll have a coffee before I get to work.
I walked up to their table.
“Good morning, Father. It's his menu book. Please order what?” I said friendly.
The father on his shoulders was jasmine three seeds were reading the menu book dimsum for a moment. Yes if the morning menu dimsum.
“Lumpia fried one serving. Vietnamese coffee. Same mineral water,” he said.
The other father chimed, “Siomay same black coffee.”
I picked up the menu book, “Good. Please wait, Mr.”
In the kitchen, while waiting for the order to be made, I helped my colleagues work. I cut onions, chili, and various vegetables to prepare the lunch menu later.
“Dik, in the cauldron there is still fried rice we made for breakfast. Eat that. Mubazir later,” said the chef.
“OK, Brother. Thank you, later after delivering the order then I eat. Still full anyway.”
Although I do this is actually outside the jobdesk for a waiter, but for the sake of adding knowledge and skill I am willing to do it. Don't focus too much on one area.
Yes, it is good that we pursue one field for a long time until we really master it, until we become an expert.
I've heard the words of an ustadz, a plant if it moves around a lot of pots, will it grow perfectly?
Sure difficult. Therefore, stay in one place, master one field of science, sharpen skills and multiply experience there.
For now many take knowledge about the food menu, learn a little how to cook, and of course learn how to provide service to visitors.
Trinngg....
The order is ready.
I put all the orders on one tray, then rushed to the visitor's desk just now.
“Happy enjoying. If you want to add an order please call the waiter, Mr.”
After that I went to the bar and the coffee shop, picked up the drink, and went back to the table just now.
A dozen times I went back and forth, from the kitchen to the floating head, even from the bar to the visitor's desk. I have a lot of orders to deliver.
Until I take my lunch break at two. Pretty exhausting. Lunch menu today fried chicken side dish and vegetables kale stir-fry. Steady.
At three I rushed home.
...
I saw my mom take care of all her gear.
“Assalamu’alaikum, Bu.”
“Wa’alaikumusslam, Nak.”
I quickly helped Mom. I brought a plastic container on this table into the house. Thank goodness, today's mom's trading is selling hard. Half-hour four is done. Five o'clock is usually open.
After everything was done, I took a shower and continued to pray ashar.
“Bu, pray Uzlah, so that later you can get a better job, whose salary is also greater.”
“In every prayer of Mother, there is always good for you, son. Hope you succeed later.”
“Uzlah want to prove that formal education is not the main factor that affects a person's intelligence and success.”
Yes, there are many stories that I have heard, people who do not even have a high school diploma can be a meritorious scientist with his discovery, there are wealthy businessmen.
The important thing is good will, prayer, effort, hard work and confidence in the heart. The rest is consistent with what is planned.
Lastly, let the good destiny of God determine everything. Tawakkal is an important point, and very important.
I took Zahid's college book and read it. Lessons in the early semester are almost not much different from the High School lesson yesterday.
Division of chemistry: descriptive and theoretical. Its physics, measurement, vector, motion, particle dynamics, effort and energy, and conservation of energy. And many more.
There are several divisions of chemical reactions, such as substitution reactions, addition reactions, elimination reactions, oxidation reactions, reduction reactions, and condensation reactions.
Further, hydrocarbon compounds are compounds composed of hydrogen atoms and carbon atoms. The divisions are aliphatic, alicyclic, and aromatic hydrocarobones.
Oh, about atomic theory. That's the science, today is true, tomorrow is not necessarily true. That is what Zahid often said. And that's the reason why he believes that Newton's Law of Motion must be corrected.
Over time theories about atoms continue to evolve. From the past until now various theories have emerged. If between one and the other is too striking a difference, then this can only be called an assumption, not worth the theory.
Like Zahid said before. The assumption is far below theory because it has not been proven by experiments and is not yet certain of its true value.
Starting from Aristotle's Atomic Theory, proposing that matter is continuous, meaning that it can be broken down to infinity.
Then still from the Greek thinkers, Atomic Theory Democritos and Leucipos, explain that the atom is the smallest part of a substance that can not be divided.
Well, it is the most basic and popular statement about the atom, that is, the smallest part and cannot be divided. Junior High knows that.
Many scientists from the renaissance era to the early modern era who put forward atomic theory, such as John Dalton, Joseph John Thompson, Ernest Rutherford and Niels Bohr.
But if pulled back far back, in fact there is a famous Muslim scientist, a great scientist, who lived in the late 8th century, named Abu Musa Jabir bin Hayyan.
He brought up the chemistry that later became the basic foundation for Western scientists in the medieval, Renaissance to modern era.
In addition to the theory of iron derived from the popular Quran Surah Al-Hadid verses 25-26, his other contributions are the combat process of crystallization, distillation, calcination and development.
Lastly around the end of the nineteenth century and the beginning of the twentieth century came the Atomic Theory of Quantum Mechanics, put forward by Max Planck. This theory is much more complicated than before.
The light beam consists of energy packets or commonly called quanta. In the atomic theory of quantum mechanics there is a new term that states the greatest ability to find electrons called quantum numbers.
The identity of the electron is not expressed in terms of the path to –, but is expressed in quantum numbers.
As Zahid said, the truth of science is not absolute, aka not absolute. Do not trust science completely.
As far as I know, there is an atomic nucleus consisting of positively charged protons and neutral charged neutrons, surrounded by negatively charged electrons.
The electromagnetic force that makes the electrons in an atom bonded to the nucleus of an atom. It is more like an atom.
No one has ever seen an atom directly with the naked eye. Because of its very small size.
Again, it's all just theory, don't wholeheartedly believe.
