Physicist, Tinkerer
A lot of my time is spent thinking about/in other languages. It is incredible to see the same ideas expressed in totally different words and grammar which bring different details of the subject to life. It’s like how the same physics can be expressed in any choice of basis but expressing the problem in a certain bases just makes the fundamental physics so clear and obvious. Just as the right choice of basis can make a terribly complicated physics problem appear beautifully simple, a new language can provide a different perspective on the world.
Reading and translating texts is one of the ways I try to make a language come to life. It is also a fabulous method to get insight into a new culture in its own words. My translations are definitely far from perfect, but I have tried my hardest to do justice to the fabulous texts I have had the privilege to read.
