Kimiko Date-Krumm

I would like to write to you about the unique characters in the world of professional sports - Kimiko Date-Krumm.

a tennis player Kimiko. She was born in 1970. She began playing tennis at age 7. She was an outstanding junior. To professionalism has gone at the age of 19 years, so today's standards rather late. ITF won the first tournament of 1988, and the first WTA tournament in 1992. Later, it was getting better. In the years 1989-1996 she won over 200 games, seven WTA tournaments, was in three Grand Slam semifinals (Agnieszka Radwanska, the best Polish tenisistce, action was not yet even once, just, and Wojciech Fibakowi). Defeated on the court such celebrities as Gabriela Sabatini (1991), Arantxa Sanchez-Vicario (1992), Mary Joe-Fernandez (1993), Steffi Graf (1996). In 1994 he reached the fourth position in the WTA world ranking.

In 1996, at the age of 26 years, retired from professional careers, while the eighth competitor in the world ranking. She married a German driver training. But the most interesting was yet to come.

6 April 2008 Kimiko 38-year-old announced his return to professional playing tennis. Her previous ranking has expired, so had to re-climb the tournament ladder. Proceeded to its first over the 11th year the tournament - it was the ITF tournament (so lower rank than the WTA tournaments.) She had to play him in qualifying, but it went through without a problem. The main event came to the final, beating along the way hundreds of players from the first rank. The finale was Tamarinie Tanasugarn.

In the next tournament, the ITF ranking, reached the quarterfinals. In June 2008, won the first ITF tournament after coming back, won again in July.

It is time for the first WTA tournament after coming back. Kimiko did not have to participate in the qualifying rounds - the organizers (the tournament was played in Tokyo, Japan) benefited from their rights and awarded her a wild card, can start the game from the main tournament. Kimiko confirmed the validity of their decisions, reaching the finals in the tournament, where she lost to Aleksandra Wozniak.
In the same 2008 years won the Japan Cup. At the end of the year was classified as the 198th tennis world.

2009 are more successful. In September, won her first WTA tournament after coming back, winning the final against Anabel Medina Garrigues. Defeated this year, such athletes like Jelena Baltacha, Alexander Dulgheru, Alisa Klejbanowa, Daniel Hantuchowa or Maria Kirilenko. At the end of the year occupied 82nd WTA ranking.

Year 2010 is the year of its 40th birthday. Japanese went through him like a storm. It failed to win the next is true of the tournament, but again won many duels with utytułowanymi and much of it (sometimes by more than half) zawodniczkami. In the left defeated, among others. Anna Czakwetadze, Virginie Razzano, Nadia Petrova. The French Open defeated Dinara Safina, who was then ranked ninth in the list of WTA. Was 39 years, 7 months and 26 days and has been the oldest competitor in history to ever defeat a contestant from the top-ten ranking. After the U.S. Open was promoted to the first fifty WTA rankings, becoming the oldest competitor again, which failed to make the play.

At the end of the year yet managed to beat Maria Sharapova, and exactly on the day of his 40th Daniela Hantuchową birthday, Samantha Stosur then (then the world's eighth contestant), becoming the first competitor in his forties, who placed her zawodniczce the top ten. Then he got beat Shahar Peer and Li Na. The year ended on the 46th spot in the rankings.

this year appeared on Polish accent: the Australian Open, I almost did not eliminate Agnieszka Radwanska. Agnieszka won the first set 6-4, the second in an identical win over Kimiko. In the last set, 4-1 in the state for Kimiko, Sarah asked for a medical break. After a long break Kimiko no longer returned to the rhythm of the game and lost the set 5-7.

The time now is ranked 56th place. It is a nice, optimistic person, very persistent and stubborn. Soon her a second career is over - despite the fact that a competitor from the mid- Hundreds of ranking first, I admire her more than a lot of young girls and the above-quoted, which sometimes lack motivation to fight.

book read: Michael Heller - Philosophy of nature. Historical Outline of the day


Priest appreciate very much the professor, "The evolution of the cosmos and cosmology" - a book of my teenage years, certainly contributed to the fact that I went to astronomy.
"Philosophy of Nature" I did not like. I am a person who knows modern physics and know well the mathematical methods of physics - so well that I was able to derive all of its basic patterns associated with mechanics quantum theory of special relativity and electrodynamics or classical statistical thermodynamics, and relativistic electrodynamics, I was able to understand. Priest Heller wrote the book that the vast majority could be released in the late nineteenth century. And it's not only about the progress of physics, but also the progress in the history of science. It irritates me a few things: first
Bringing philosophy of nature to those of the philosophers of nature - often physicists are about to say more than philosophers, and say things smarter, though not as sophisticated language. From the book I learned what he thought about science Popper (and how many of his views already outdated!), And did not find a word about the views of Niels Bohr and Werner Heisenberg (and what they brought to the teachings, it is true today).
second The treatment of ancient philosophy as to the inefficiency of Plato and Aristotle, with their whole scientific naivete - throughout the book there is not one word about Archimedesie, Aristarchus appeared in a footnote by co-author. No mention of Hipparchosie, which dramatically improves an Aristarchus - I doubt that the priest Professor of Hipparchosie not heard. And there is no any comments on such aspects as Ktesibios, Herofilos whether Chrysippus - dare to believe that the characters are completely unknown to the priest, professor. Meanwhile, a reflection on Chrysippus would develop a very interesting topic metalanguage philosophy.

What is the meaning of the sacrifice of separation romantic philosophers, and ignoring the positivist philosophers and neopozytywistycznych? Such a decision was probably close to seeing the world.
what good will scribble Whitehead? Would not it would be more usefully zreferować views Mach or Dirac?

For me, the philosophers of nature brought the world more harm than good. I thought about all of them and something I think that it would be difficult to find an exception. Even Plato and Aristotle's influence on the development of science penalized. And what did Hegel, it is worse than an atomic bomb.

Oh, and one more note. What is the question of "matematyczność world"? When in the thirties of the twentieth century, was asked various great physicists about whether they believe in God, Heisenberg said, not directly, it can not be coincidence that the world is so much math. He knew what says, because he came into contact with ready for decades of mathematics, which was employed matrix, which suddenly turned out to be an ideal tool for the description of quantum physics. However Goedla theorem, which, moreover, Professor Father mentions in his book (their importance in the philosophy of nature deserves far more attention) shed a very different light on this problem. The question "why the world is mathematical," recalls now the question "why plasticine shape to fit each subject. Currently, this question should be: "Why is the world logical?"

OK, one more thing. Most of the discoveries of modern physics, and many of the former is made of young, sometimes very young people. One could say that this is because when minds are most creative. And I say that also because those people did not know was still on bzdurach wygadywanych by the philosophers of nature. Heisenberg nature of the writings of philosophers Timaiosa met - and was enough, and it's not because I believed in the vision of the world presented there, only that it was a good exercise for the mind.

If you're old and make scientific discoveries have not threatened you, or you're it's too stupid to read "Philosophy of Nature" may be an interesting experience. However, if you are fascinated by science and have the potential to beware of this book as the devil holy water! It is better to reach for the Feynman, Macha, Dirac, Heisenberg. Or after "The evolution of the cosmos and cosmology," Heller.
