When our city's most famous physics teacher died, our city experienced one of the biggest unplanned funerals. Thousands of people rushed into the roads and exhibited a state of pure sadness. I can vividly remember on the very first morning after his death when I was anxiously looking for a place to have some of his photos color-copied – based on a promise I made to his son- the man who finally agreed to do this on that Friday morning – and of course was not happy at all to do that on a weekend- looked at the photos and suddenly recognized him. He copied all the photos for free. Why was he so popular? Where did that charisma come from? Now I can certainly say that he was a perfect conveyor of knowledge. He was an expert in transferring knowledge to students. He was a charismatic teacher.

Diary: Group portrait with Student
Human beings – maybe as an internal tendency – tend to model the natural phenomena occurring around them. They have always been showing great enthusiasm in adopting models to explain natural events with which – sometimes – no thorough scientific justifications are associated. To highlight my academic background – maybe in order to show off a little- I would like to depict an example which may help me find a better way to elaborate on what I am trying to convey.
