My interview with the Marquis Who's Who

Follow-up

The Marquis Who's Who is an American organization for making important persons known to the world. They used to publish dictionary-like books. I assume they still do. These days, in addition, they produce webpages. They made many pages for me in the past. If they think I am an important person, I do not disagree.
In 2022, the Maquis sent their representative to my office with a movie camera to take photos of myself and to record what I say about myself.

Corrections:
1. In the interview, I say North Korean authorities cut off the electric power supply to the South in 1958. I should have said 1948 instead of 1958.

2. At one point, I mention "my granddaughter-in-law." I should have said "daughter-in-law."
When politicians make their speeches, they usually read from their prepared texts, and they appear very dumb. I now understand why. They do not want to make misstatements which may damage their careers.
I appear as an old man in this video, because I am an old man born in 1935. Until recent years, I was a handsome boy as you can see from these images:
As for my most important scientific contribution, let us look at the bridge connecting two mountains. This bridge in France, called Pont du Gard, was built by Romans during the reign of Julius Caesar. I was there in 2017 to inspire myself. Click here for a photo of myself on this bridge.

God built mountains and rivers. Humans can build bridges.

Bohr and Einstein were God-like figures in physics. All I could do was to build a bridge between them.

As His best gift of the 20th Century, God gave us an empty land with these two big Towers.
Many people built their houses on this land.
I used those houses to build a city between the Towers.

One hundred years ago, Niels Bohr was studying the electron orbit of the hydrogen atom. He found that its energy levels are discrete and not continuous. This research led to the present form of quantum mechanics.
Albert Einstein was worrying about how things look to moving observers. This led to his special theory of relativity with his celebrated formula E = mc².

The question then is how Bohr's hydrogen atom appears to moving observers. Bohr and Einstein met occasionally to discuss physics, but there are no written records indicating that they ever discussed this issue. Perhaps, they never did because there are no hydrogen atoms moving fast enough to exhibit this Bohr-Einstein puzzle. This was the Empty Land for us.

Toward the end of this interview, I say:

Korea was one country until the end of World War II. How was the country divided? Click here.
At one pont, I mention the word "Herod Complex." What is this complex? Click here.

I was brought up in a strong Christian environment. I am a scientist and thus not a religious person. However, my Christian background is much stronger than my American colleagues in the United States. Click here for my story.

I had a shortwave radio (Hallicrasfers Model S-38) looking like this during my high school years, listening to the world, but not able to talk to the world. I wanted to talk to the world. How?
If you think I am putting too much energy to constructing webpages, there is a reason as described above.

During my late high-school years (1952-54), I was keenly interested in long-distance communications using my shortwave radio. While listening to stories from far-away places, I became interested in talking to the world.
These days, internet webpages serve my purpose very effectively. Click here for my past interest in long-distance communications.
At the end, I say I am a synthesizer. I let others do the hard works. I then put them together a more significant result.
