Sai Kung Golf

by Sanil Chandiramani

This year the Sai Kung Golf trip was located at the Kau Sai Chau Public Golf Course. Every day we had to take a ferry from Sai Kung Pier to Kau Sai Chau.

When we reached there, we had to have a small briefing with our instructors before going on to the driving range.

There were two main skills that we learnt on the day one was driving and the other was putting. On the driving range we learnt how to drive and hold a proper golf club. Learning the technique of driving the golf club was very useful tip.

After driving, we strolled to the putting range where we played some simple putting games to get us into the mood of putting. We had to roll the ball into the hoop and whoever got three balls at a time in the hoop was the winner. Later on, we used the putter to practice our putting skills.

By lunchtime, everyone was starving after a demanding morning and eager to play more golf that afternoon. I couldn’t wait to go on the driving range and play more shots. That moment was just remarkable.

In the afternoon, we went on the driving range to practice taking more shots. I practiced using the technique of holding a golf club while driving that I learnt in the morning. The shots that I took were fairly high. It was about 150 yards. That is good for a beginner. By the end of the day, I felt really confident in playing golf.

This is not what I had expected.

Potter y

by Simran Rungta and Jennifer Ding

This year the Pottery Trip went to two different locations, one of which was Peng Chau. The island of Peng Chau is a stunning location, with some gorgeous sights from some of the high peaks. However, this location does not invite many visitors, so most of the people there were friendly locals. To get there we took a ferry from the Central Ferry Pier.

We jump-started every lesson with a demonstration with our instructor, Conrad, on the skills we would be developing. There were two crucial skills to do pottery: hand-building and the wheel. Despite the ease and skill Conrad demonstrated with both of the skills, we soon realized that pottery was a lot harder than we had originally anticipated. In fact, on the first day, only a few people had created anything worth looking at.

By lunch, all of us were starving after a challenging morning, and excited to try the next skill. We split into small groups to explore the island and find a suitable place to eat lunch. For those planning to go next year we highly recommend a noodle shop nearby that sells a delicious variety of food. There is also an authentic Vietnamese restaurant near one of trails which attracts many of the visitors, which sells very tasty and flavourful dishes, but nothing vegetarian. Nevertheless there is always ‘Welcome supermarket’ on offer if you’d rather.

When we came back we practiced a different skill and continued on until we finally had to go and catch the ferry back to Central. This was the normal routine for the following few days. During the course of the week we created many pieces of work, including animal sculptures, plates, bowls, jugs, cups, and even a house! Although we encountered many difficulties along the way, with many people experiencing frustration when their pieces did not go the way they had anticipated, we pulled through to make some rewarding progress. With the clay being so soft and malleable, it was very difficult to control the shape of the clay.

One wrong delicate push with a finger, and your piece could be ruined. It was a true test of our patience.

Mongolia

by Aaryam Srivastava and Kessandra Ng

Mongolia, a land of two worlds: the extreme hot and the freezing cold, the peaceful and the busy. At midnight, temperatures plummeted to sub-zero and all that could be heard were the quiet chirps of the early birds. However at dawn, the peaceful silence was shattered by the insistent mooing and neighing of the cows and horses, while the sun beat down on our backs yet again. Over the course of 8 days, we attempted archery, horse-riding, and many more activities that challenged both our wits as well as our strength.

There was also a service element to this trip - we delivered supplies to impoverished families living in Mongolian slums, experiencing what life is like for these families, and also taught English at a local school. The experience opened our eyes and our hearts, allowing us to empathise with those who are less privileged than us and truly understand how fortunate we are to be the lucky few who can enjoy a life on comfort and leisure in our modern world.

Living in gers (traditional Mongolia tents) for nearly a week taught us how to survive without internet connection or WiFi, and we realised how fun frolicking in the fields of nature could be, how many “cool things” nature provided. We had to fill up our own furnaces for heating throughout the glacial night, and getting that perfect balance between boiling and freezing was extremely difficult; the first few nights we struggled with this combination, ended up putting too much coal and wood into the furnace and sleeping in short-sleeves for the entire night.

We also got the opportunity of tasting authentic Mongolian food, from dumplings to specialty drinks. If I had to sum up the food in one word, it would be “lamb”, a word that caused many of the students to mysteriously turn vegetarian for a week or claim that they were allergic to lamb. There were massive portions of food for an extremely low price, and we would constantly joke about how wonderful living in Mongolia would be!

The week ended with us collecting kindling and lugging full trees for a huge bonfire in the evening…. but even with 3 entire trees and countless bags worth of branches, the bonfire only lasted for 45 minutes. But the time was enough for us to cook s’mores around the fire and reminisce of the week that has just passed, share memories and emotions.

Overall, this trip taught us much more than how to ride a horse and stay on when it’s galloping, or how to shoot the target in archery without accidentally shooting your own foot. We learnt how to share, laugh without restraint, forget about the stress and pressures of school, and empathise with those less fortunate than us… but most importantly, we learnt how to have fun while doing something worthwhile. If you want to make a difference in someone’s life, while having the time of your life, the Mongolia Challenge Week trip is ideal for you!

Swimming Gala: Cheerleading

by Jennifer Ding and Alantha Zhang On the 18th of September 2015, KGV wholeheartedly greeted its first large scale interhouse event of the school year with plenty of excitement from the enthusiastic crowds and eager swimmers, prepared to bring their house pride and victory, and fully enjoy the fun-packed day.

The energy that each individual house demonstrated was clear; however, the crowds really raised the levels of participation to the maximum when the cheerleaders gave their stunning performances, precisely executed to near perfection. The hours of rehearsing that they had put in really paid off as their choreography showed a real sense of professionalism, greatly impressing everyone at the gala. Determination and house pride was written all over their faces as they gracefully twirled and moved in synchronization to the upbeat, dynamic music.

Each of the houses represented an unique theme. Crozier thoroughly entertained us with their lively performance. Rowell, in their pale blue and grey tops, clutching dazzling blue pom-poms, sent a round of cheers through the spectating audience.

Presenting the crowd with an interpretation of Grease, Nightingale got most of the crowd on their feet as the girls swirled around in their bright yellow skirts while the boys danced in all black. Vibrant reds captured everyone’s attention as Upsdell performed a dance inspired by the west.

It was a tough call, but Crozier eventually claimed victory in the Inter-House Cheerleading Competition 2015!

Everyone went home exhausted - some with sore throats from all the yelling - yet fulfilled and happy after a long day of cheering.

But this fantastic day would not have been what it was without the hard work and dedication of all the staff, students, and house captains involved. An important thanks should be given to everyone who put this together one of the most memorable inter house events yet!

Swimming Gala

by Romana Choi and Katrina Lee

The Swimming Gala of 2015-2016 was held on the 18th of September, right at the start of the new school year. Swimming Gala is a big school event held at the start of the year where the whole school; both middle school and senior school gets involved.

Before the Swimming Gala was held, the house captains had arranged the Swim Heats, which is to identify the best swimmers in each year group for each house to have the best performance on the day. There were 2 female swimmers and 2 male swimmers from each house per each swimming stroke to be selected to participate and race on the day.

On the day most of the swimmers were in good condition, and their performances were at the peak. At the stands, there was a thrilling sensation, and the crowd was cheering on loudly, as well as the cheerleaders from each house did there best to motivate the swimmers to perform their best.

All the houses were full of house spirit, and did an awesome job, but the winner had to be chosen. For Participation points Nightingale came first, and for cheerleading Crozier. The overall winners were NIGHTINGALE!

Bell’s theorem and Laplace’s chaotic nightmare – why can’t we predict anything

by Matthew Choy

If one can know all variables of nature, all positions of atoms, and all forces composed, can he predict the future? PierreSimon Laplace of the eighteenth century though the universe is deterministic – the past and future are symmetrical in a way we can predict the future if we know the past, or reconstruct the past if we know the future.

Of course, it will be impossible for any individual to perform such prediction, as the number of variables edge towards infinity, but not infinite, in a sense that the limit reaches towards a finite number. Therefore, Laplace conjured a being that can store and process all the variables – a supercomputer.

This supercomputer can easily be created. Google have servers dealing with terabytes of information. Newly built quantum computers can compute 2^100 bytes of data. With this computer, we can predict whether a coin lands on heads of tails. Whether it will rain tomorrow. Or how the universe is going to end…

What is stopping us from infinite money from casinos in Las Vegas?

Physics.

The Lorenz attractor is a beautiful image.

The Attractor is built by a set of differential equations yielding different results.

But it shows that even the rigorous mathematics is affected by the lack of deterministic prediction.

This is the basis of Chaos Theory – a theory that outrageously stated that deterministic systems where behaviours can theoretically be predicted will The Lorenz attractor yield random results. A Chaotic System is defined to be a system where the end result cannot be predicted, even with a near-infinite amount of information. Most Chaotic Systems are predictable originally, but will soon appear to be random. The amount of time we can predict a Chaotic System depends on three elements: 1.

2.

3.

How accurate we can measure the current state How much uncertainty in the forecast How much further in time do we need to know

And why are systems chaotic?

This is because there is a finite amount of accuracy, even with a supercomputer to which we can measure the current state. The most famous chaotic system is our own weather system. We cannot predict the weather over a week, because of the third element (time) and our primitive understanding of fluid dynamics (element one – accuracy). The differential equations of fluid mechanics do not have an indefinite solution, and our computers can only compute them onto a certain significant figure. This inaccuracy creates a divergence.

Chaotic systems diverge from predictable system on a point of no return. In the example of fluid dynamics, the computer can only solve the equation to three significant digits (e.g. 0.357 instead of 0.3569). This loss in value creates a divergence in the system, as a small change will affect the whole process. Similar to the famous Butterfly Effect, a single flap of the butterfly’s wing in Brazil can create a tornado in Texas.

Another famous Chaotic System is the three body problem. In celestial mechanics, physicist are trying to find whether the moon, sun and Earth are all in stable orbits. However, the orbits becomes a chaotic system, as the divergence gravitational field from the three bodies is infinitesimally small, since the field has to be described with integrals.

And the most famous Chaotic System…

Wormholes, Dimensions, Gravity and Love. This is the Science of Interstellar…

by Matthew Choy

Today’s science column is based on the movie Interstellar! If you still have not seen it, hurry up – it’s phenomenal! I am very sure not all of your understood everything about Interstellar, many aspects are convoluted and confusing.

But why is Interstellar worthy of scientific analysis? Well, part of Interstellar’s script was written by famous physicist Kip Thorne. Surely the science behind this film is worthy of our attention!

Wormholes The predominant theme of Interstellar is wormholes. The movie is centered on how Cooper and his crew must travel through a wormhole to discover new planets that are able to support life.

However are wormholes real? Can they exist? How do they work? How do they look?

Let’s start with what are wormholes are. Wormholes (or more specifically Einstein-Rosen bridges), are basically a shortcut through space and time. They are theoretically possible as Einstein’s general theory of relativity allow them to happen - hence the name Einstein-Rosen bridge. On the other hand, they are never observed physically and experimentally. Often appearing in the genre of Science Fiction, many scientists are very enthusiastic in this topic.

Theoretical quantum physics allow wormholes to exist. There are two types of wormholes - the Schwarzschild Wormhole, and the Exotic Matter wormholes!

The first type of wormholes are Schwarzschild wormholes. If you remembered from last article (I presume most will not), the name Schwarzschild is often connoted with black holes. Schwarzschild wormholes are wormholes that are built from a singularity of a black hole. In case you don’t know what that is, imagine it as an infinitely dense rip of the “carpet-like” space and time. It works by using a black hole’s super strong gravity to tear space and time. Once torn, you can penetrate a hole into another black hole.

The next wormhole is more exciting. This is the wormhole present in the movie Interstellar. This wormhole is called the Exotic Matter wormhole, and it is partially theorized by Kip Thorne himself. In order to create this wormhole, you must have ‘Exotic Matter’. Exotic Matter, in this sense, is a different type of matter… something that may not be made up of protons or electrons. Exotic Matter works by creating an Alcubierre Drive. The drive works by bending the space around it, making the distance smaller. This is no violating Relativity, as the spaceship is still travelling well under the speed of light. It is merely creating a bend in space, a shortcut, or a wormhole between the object and target.

The Alcubierre Drive works by creating an energy density field, (the total energy in the system) lower than a vacuum. This can bend space-time Wormhole and therefore create a wormhole. General Relativity, in essence can be treated as a topological description of the universe. And the Alcubierre Drive is a device that abuses and manipulates that topological and geometric nature of the universe.

The technical schematics of the Drive is wildly complex, and the Drive is still under investigation under top physicists.

This is not the whole story though. The negative energy density field can be created through the Casimir effect, and the Casimir effect only requires two mirrors.

11

Wormholes, Dimensions, Gravity and Love. This is the Science of Interstellar… (cont.)

The Casimir effect works on the quantum principle of vacuum fluctuations. In the eyes of quantum theory, the vacuum is far from being empty (though by definition it supposed to be empty), but rather full of fluctuating electromagnetic waves. This is the reason why a true vacuum cannot exist. If you remember my last article from ages ago about Hawking Radiation, these vacuum fluctuations are responsible for the existence of Hawking Radiation by transforming electromagnetic waves into virtual subatomic particles (mass and energy equivalence principle or E=MC2 .) One must still remember that these electromagnetic waves are virtual, or they violate the conservation of energy and mass. But quantum theory create loopholes. Virtual particles can spring into reality by returning the energy later. Think of the universe as a hypothetical fair and benevolent bank that does not earn any profit. You can borrow energy or mass creating particles, but must return it sometime. It gets harder to retain the borrowed mass after a longer period of time, and soon it must be returned back into the vacuum. The returning process work by creating an anti-particle pair that annihilate each other in due time. Some rare phenomenon as black holes can cheat the bank by absorbing one, but to avoid deviating even more off topic, read the previous science column of Paw Prints.

Anyways, the virtual electromagnetic waves exist in all possible wavelengths, thus Illustration of the Casimir effect giving empty space energy. The energy exist, but cannot interact with the “real” world. Now if two mirrors are placed next to each other, the waves will bounced back and forth between them. As the two mirrors approach each other, the longer waves can no longer fit, allowing less waves in the middle of the two mirrors. Now the cool part – since there are less waves between the mirrors, the total energy is lower. And if the energy is lower than the vacuum, which is by definition, zero energy, negative energy is created. Viola! Alcubierre Drive! Wormhole created! With two mirrors, you can bend the space-time continuum.

The wormhole created by the Alcubierre Drive will be a three dimensional sphere, as the wormhole has to go through higher dimensions. But that will be a story for later…

On Further Pure Mathematics

by Kessandra Ng

“It will be fun!” they said…. “You’ll finally have a challenge!” they said….

If Maths was not drudgery in itself, the next onslaught takes you way higher to almost another plane…… running in un-interrupted like a loving dog, tail wagging and all, just jumping onto our lucky Year 11 students with a name like “Further Pure Maths”!

This subject has a lot in common with cooking, applying “recipes” (algorithms) to cook up desired results. Although for our group of students, it’s often a recipe for disaster, but for the successful few who do get it right, they appear to sort of benefit from the common belief that there is something special about Maths.

And for those who aren’t apprehensive about complex numbers, polar curves, power series and hyperbolic functions, you will need all the luck you can get. Further Pure is a subject which requires a reasonable amount of hard work and dedication and is something you can’t sail through purely on the basis of ability and talent.

It’s a topic that requires your mind to think in a different and more sophisticated manner, enabling you to comprehend and approach questions in a more elaborate way. A significant percentage of the Year 11 students had a first experience of Further Pure Maths in their recent Mock examinations, getting a simplistic idea of what the real exams will feel like. Overall, the students managed to score quite well across the year, although it was a more straightforward and simple exam compared to the real GCSE. Even though Further Pure is a huge pain in the back, at the end of the day, if you are confident and willing to be challenged in this subject the fundamentals and ideas you learn throughout this course will provide a great stepping stone for Maths in Year 12 and 13, especially if you’re thinking of taking IB Higher Level Maths.

Sports Stars Interview (Malcolm Gladwell’s 10000 hour rule)

by Aaryam Srivastava

Every year a select few of KGV’s students stand out from the normal by excelling in both academics and sports through fierce determination, willpower and persistence. Alan Sou (Year 11) is one such student.

Since he was 5 years old, Alan has been devoting his time and effort into playing tennis, transforming it from a mere hobby into something which he could pursue as a professional, a commitment that has earned him 1st rank in the Hong Kong Tennis Association junior Boys singles and doubles rankings in the under 16 category. To add to this amazing feat, Alan manages to balance his sports with his academics, giving enough time to shine in both areas.

With all these amazing achievements, we simply had to get an insight from Alan as to how he manages to come through as a true sports star.

How do you manage to balance your time between school and tennis? Does your daily training come in the way of your social and academic life?

“Being a person who participates in activities outside of school has to sacrifice a lot of time, however, as long as there are people, such as friends at school to support and back me, anything is possible.”

Do you ever feel pressured by the decision you have to make between tennis and your higher education in the future?

“Well of course! It’s a very tough decision and will affect me later on in the future. But eventually I have to make a decision, whether to choose one or the other, or to pursue both in the future.”

Do you personally agree with Malcolm Gladwell’s rule for success, that you have to spend 10,000 hours doing something in order to become a master in it?

“For me personally, it’s about the quality not the quantity. People can spend hours and hours for years on end doing a sport, but if it’s not rigorous or draining, it won’t make a difference.”

What would be your advice to students who are striving to achieve and triumph in their respective sport?

14

“Go for it! Strive to be the best in your sport, because at the end of the day, academics can only take you so far. People have t stand out in other areas and aspects as well.”`

Trophy Hunters: Masters or Morons

by Armaan Dayal

Every year, trophy hunters are responsible of an average of the death 665 lions, Slate reports. Heads and hides being of the most value, an average of 2 lions a day are murdered. The ‘chosen’ animals tend to be ‘the biggest, most beautiful, and rarest’, says In Defence of Animals (IDA). But is this good; killing these animals so they don’t die a natural, painful death: or is it bad; murdering them from the wild?

From a point of view, the act of trophy hunting is acceptable. Following is an edited extract from The Wall Street Journal:

“

“Hunting, as much as people might detest it, does have a role in conservation,” Andrew Loveridge, an Oxford researcher, told the BBC last week, noting that more land is protected as hunting reserves in Africa than as national parks. “If there was no hunting, what would happen with that land?”

”

This is a point many hunters agree with. However, activists and people on the other side of this ‘argument’ have a much different idea.

According to an August 7 article on the Voice of America (VOA) website, hunting is now a $744 million US dollar business in South Africa, employing 70,000 people. Also, 24 of Oxford University research project’s 62 tagged lions were killed by human hunters, says VOA. What is the point in doing this? If more land is protected as hunting reserves than national parks in Africa, why aren’t we doing anything about it? Why are we not helping Africa, instead of moaning about it how they are unable to do anything?

Stop, think and enjoy the moment

by Sean Kao

Perhaps some of the most underappreciated art pieces in the whole school lie right in front of your eyes. They’re placed in one of the places most commonly walked through in a typical school day, and probably because of that they’re also ignored the most often.

How often do you simply stop to look at the art pieces on display at the foyer?

The problem is not that they’re bad – on the contrary, the intricacy is marvelous, they have wonderful blends of colors and there is a cocktail of patterns here and there. The problem is that they’re not given a chance. If someone were to give them a chance, they would find the amount of thought and effort put into it. They were carefully planned out and molded into creation over a long period of time, and are deserving of respect.

But not everyone has time to simply stand at a spot and enjoy the moment. And that is understandable. We all have timetables, classes to go to, and commitments to make. But it’s always nice to appreciate the small details in life. One day, you might start to notice that the small details in your life are disappearing. So it’s best to enjoy them while you can.

So next time, when you walk through the foyer, think about them, and stop to admire them, even for a bit. Give them a chance. After all, it’s art.
