...Evrenin sonsuzluğu karşısında dünya çok küçük bir sahne. Bütün o generaller ve imparatorlar tarafından akıtılan kan nehirlerini düşünün, kazandıkları zaferle bir toz tanesinin bir anlık efendisi oldular. O zerrenin bir köşesinde oturanların başka bir köşesinden gelen ve kendilerine benzeyen başkaları tarafından uğradığı bitmez tükenmez eziyetleri düşünün, ne çok yanılgıya düştüler, birbirlerini öldürmek için ne kadar hevesliydiler, birbirlerinden ne kadar çok nefret ediyorlardı.

Böbürlenmelerimiz, kendimize atfettiğimiz önem, evrende ayrıcalıklı bir konumumuz olduğu hakkındaki hezeyanımız, hepsi bu soluk ışık noktası tarafından yıkılıyor. Gezegenimiz, onu saran uzayın karanlığı içinde yalnız bir toz zerresi. Bu muazzam boşluk içindeki kaybolmuşluğumuzda, bizi bizden kurtarmak için yardım etmeye gelecek kimse yok.

Dünya, üzerinde hayat barındırdığını bildiğimiz tek gezegen. En azından yakın gelecekte, gidebileceğimiz başka yer yok. Ziyaret edebiliriz, ama henüz yerleşemeyiz. Beğenin veya beğenmeyin, şu anda Dünya sığınabileceğimiz tek yer.

Gökbilimin mütevazılaştırıcı ve kişilik kazandıran bir deneyim olduğu söylenir. Belki de insanın kibrinin ne kadar aptalca olduğunu bundan daha iyi gösteren bir fotoğraf yoktur. Bence, birbirimize daha iyi davranma sorumluluğumuzu vurguluyor, ve bu mavi noktaya, biricik yuvamıza…

Recently, the term "augmented reality" is gaining increasing popularity, it is being used to describe programs for smartphones, and, strange as it may sound, toys. Overall, the "Augmented Reality" provides toy manufacturers with a large space for activities that can really make a revolution in the industry. I very much hope that this technology can become more accessible in the near future and find wide application not only in games, but also in education.

And how do you think ar toys are effective for the development of children?

Dear Asgardians,

First of all thank you for visiting my candidate profile.

In this article I want to speak about lack of education on Earth that has devastating effect on our advance.

Let me introduce myself.
My name is David Knapčok and I joined Asgardia about half year ago. I was born in Czech republic and grew up in a village and in the mountains here.

This year I finished my high school that is focused on IT and Maths and obtained my "Maturita certificate of education".

In October I'm starting my University of Purkyně. I choosed Maths and Teaching discipline there.

So after I finish my University I want to teach Maths. That has two reasons.

First is that I love maths, I love spending my time talking about maths and working with absolutely everything in maths.

Second and the most important for me is that I think, that today world lacks of maths education and education in general. Maths was the first science discipline and every other science is built on Maths. None science discipline would work without maths but maths works on it's own.

How can today children be interested in science when they have no idea about matematics? People often believe in nosenses just because they do not understand science and it's just even more complicated nosense for them.

But why is that?

It's because lack of education.

And when people aren't interested in science in general they are not interested in scientific advance as well.

I know, this doesn't apply on nearly anybody in Asgardia because we are mostly people of science here. But you can see it around you as well for sure.

"What actually is falling star?". And when I start explaining what it really is, how friction of air works and how the whole effect is made the other person just stop listening to me and thinks "Yep, falling star, it's simple" because they simply don't understand what I am talking about and that exactly is lack of education.

So if I am chosen and you people of Asgardia vote for me, I will try to make new way of connecting people with educational purposes. People that have ability to teach others, to explain complicated things by making them simple and educate uneducated people of Earth should work together. We have to show people that science is our only way of advance, that science is future.

Thank you.

The dawning of an era, this is what I imagine.
The concept is cool, and contains more aspects than I can even begin to imagine, but the update of the personal info needs work, as I see nothing change when I update or add.

I'll continue to try, and I look forward to connecting with other Asgardians.

Are we really desired to go to space? I think this should be the first question and has to be answered by every individual who thinks they really want to see beyond. If everyone ask the same question to themselves, I really wonder what will going to be happen in their minds or emotions when they imagine the emptiness. We have to be certain about this because this can be merely an enthusiasm that can be disappear by time, which is very dangerous just because some people might want to go back to their own families in their planet. Neither the IQ tests nor the profile tests can uncover this transient desire. People should see that this is far beyond emotions and satisfaction. We have to pick qualified and ready individuals to prevent this and also some emotion tests should be conducted to proof whether these people are ready. No one can imagine what this action might cost.
