“J'aime voyager. J'adore les routes. Je conduis, je regarde, je médite, j'écoute de la musique ou des livres audio, arfois j'écris avec la maine droite même de courtes notes dans un cahier, tandis que je garde le volan avec la main gauche. J'ai beaucoup roulé, surtout sur les routes du sud-ouest des États-Unis. Les photos qui composent cet album sont sélectionnées parmi les centaines de photos avec des routes que j'ai réalisé au fil du temps. J'ai ajouté une méditation latine à chaque photo, avec la traduction (ou l'équivalent) française. Chaque méditation appartient à un auteur qui s'est exprimé en latin depuis deux millénaires (et presque demi). Un index avec ces auteurs se trouve à la fin de l'album. Cet album se veut à la fois un éloge des routes et des voyages, mais aussi de la langue latine, dont aujourd'hui, peut-être, on se débarrasse trop facilement, à en juger par le nombre de choses sages que l'on pourrait exprimer à travers ses mots.” (Florentin Smarandache)...

“România este țara mea. M-am născut, am crescut, am învățat în România. Când am hotărît să plec din țara mea, nu de dânsa am fugit, ci de relele care o cuprinseseră. În lagăr, în exil și în toată lumea pe unde am străbătut, am rămas român. Limba română e limba în care merg, în care matematicesc, în care dorm (și nu prea), în care mă sfădesc și mă împac cu gândurile mele, cu mine, cu lumea și cu ceilalți. Căci, mai presus de orice, limba română e, pentru mine, limba sentimentelor mele. Limba dorului meu. Acest album foto-poetic agrăiește despre asta. Din mulțimea de fotografii pe care le-am realizat în România sau le-am primit din România de-a lungul vremii, am ales să ilustrez aici acest dor cu un ciclu de imagini realizate în timpul șederii mele din vara anului 2014, în zona Bălceștilor natali (jud. Vâlcea), inclusiv din casa părintească, și din zona Motrului (jud. Gorj), unde am petrecut cu prieteni. Portpuriul poetic pe care l-am lipit de aceste imagini este alcătuit din poezii sau fragmente de poezii pe care le-am publicat în tinerețe, versuri – cum se spunea cândva – patriotice și versuri care anticipau dorul ce urma să vină, ...

Antelope Canyon is a scenic canyon in Arizona state, USA, on Navajo land, near city of Page, including two sections, The Crack (Upper Antelope Canyon), and The Corkscrew (Lower Antelope Canyon), accessible only via guided tour; it is the photographer’s dream, but photography is very difficult due to the exposure range (10 EV or more). Carved from the sandstone for millennia by flood rains and wind, Antelope Canyon - one of nature's most wondrous creations - is located near Page (Arizona, USA). This slot canyon is somehow not visible from the outside. Upon entering the "gate", a winding corridor lead the visitor through several "rooms" with soft sandy floors. As the sun moves across the sky, the shifts of light flow down from the rim of the canyon, and the views change constantly, creating a dazzling scenery of color and light. Featured in Hollywood films and magazine publications around the world, Antelope Canyon is composed from two sections, The Crack (Upper Antelope Canyon), and The Corkscrew (Lower Antelope Canyon). In Navajo language, the Upper Antelope Canyon is called Tsé'bighanilí – "The place where water runs through," a...

“This photo album combines images with cacti and other desert plants with some memories from my youth. The photos are taken in the American deserts, near the town where I lived for two decades, Gallup. The memories that sometimes I want, and other times I don't want to remember come from my youth spent in Romania.” “Cet photo album combine des images de cactus et autres plantes du désert avec quelques souvenirs de ma jeunesse. Les photos sont prises dans les déserts américains Chihuahuan, Mojave, Sonoran, et Great Basin, près de la ville où j'ai vécu pendant deux décennies, Gallup. Les souvenirs que parfois je veux et parfois je ne veux pas me souvenir viennent de ma jeunesse passée en Roumanie.” “Acest fotoalbum combină imagini cu cactuși și alte plante de deșert cu câteva amintiri din tinerețea mea. Fotografiile sunt realizate în deșerturile americane Chihuahuan, Mojave, Sonoran și Great Basin, în relative proximitate a orășelului în care m-am aciuat de două decenii, Gallup (New Mexico). Amintirile de care uneori doresc, iar alteori nu doresc să-mi mai aduc aminte provin din tinerețea petrecută în România.” (Florentin Smaran...

Este es un álbum de fotos de Colombia, realizado por Florentin Smarandache durante una visita científica y cultural, en Bogotá, Bucaramanga y otras localidades, en julio y agosto de 2019. Colombia está abierta a dos océanos: Atlántico y Pacífico. El clima es tropical, pero más fresco en la zona montañosa, y cálido en las zonas de baja altitud. En cada área, la temperatura es relativamente constante durante todo el año, ± 2 veces 3˚C. Yo lo llamaría una constante neutrosófica. Los títulos que acompañan a las fotografías son versos extraídos de la obra poética del gran escritor colombiano José Asunción Silva. José Asunción Silva (1865-1896) fue un poeta colombiano e importante precursor del modernismo español. Silva nació en la riqueza. Viajé mucho por Europa (1884-1886), donde conocí a Oscar Wilde y Stéphane Mallarmé. La ruina de su familia en la guerra civil de 1885 obligó a su regreso. Trabajó como secretario de la Legación colombiana en Venezuela (1894). Perdió sus manuscritos en un naufragio en su viaje de regreso a Colombia y se suicidó. Las obras de Silva son el póstumo De sobremesa (1925), una novela autobiográfica, y...

Excerpt Details
“My Chinese colleagues are proud of their country's achievements, competing with the United States. In cyberspace, China is the only country that has entered 5G through their Huawei company, and the only one that uses quantum telecommunication. The dam on the Yangzi River is the largest dam in the world. The Chinese train is the fastest and most modern in the world, surpassing the Japanese and the French. In 2011, I traveled from Beijing to Xi'an on a very comfortable Chinese train. And the Shanghai Tower (which I climbed in 2011) is the second tallest in the world, after the one in Dubai. On the unseen side of the Moon only the Chinese have so far managed to send a spacecraft. From the military point of view, China is in a fierce competition with the United States, and Russia [the three power-poles of the world], owning 100 military satellites at present and having been able to experience since 2007 the destruction of a satellite with a ground-to-air missile. In Shenzhen, where I went in 2012, there is a Hitech Park with 600,000 programmers, strongly competing with Silicon Valley.” - Florentin Smarandache...

This album displays instant photos of Jeju Island in South Korea, which I visited in scientific purposes in January 2018. The photos were taken in common places and touristic spots, like Manjanggul Lava Tube, Seongsan Ilchulbong, a volcanic tuff cone and crater, Mount Hallasan, the island's central dominant peak, or Seongeup Folk Village. The Jeju island is the largest island in South Korea, 73km wide and 41km long, with a total area of 1,848 km. Jeju came into existence 700 to 1,200 thousand years ago when lava spewed from a sub-sea volcano. Mt. Halla rises in the center of Jeju to 1950m above sea level. The rest of the island slopes down from its summit and is covered with dark gray volcanic rocks and volcanic ash soil. Jeju is South Korea's top honeymoon destination, with delicious seafood, gorgeous beaches and mild weather. Jeju, with a harsh natural environment and its shamanist roots, is distinctly different from mainstream Korea. Relatively isolated from the rest of the world, the island’s nature has been well preserved in its prehistoric state, being designated a UNESCO World Natural Heritage in 2007 for its scenic and...

This photoalbum follows the instant photovideojournal VENI, VIDI, VIKING (in Romanian, 2018), and consists in a set of photographies taken in Copenhagen, Slagelse and surroundings during Smarandache’s short visit in Denmark in May 2018 – with scientific purposes. The photographies hold as “title” almost exclusively a line, a few words, or a title extracted from Piet Hein’s grooks, and they should be consequently connectedly “read”&”regarded”. The grooks created by Piet Hein are spirit building mental improvisations, small aphoristic verses, revealing in a minimum of words basic truths about the human condition....

Excerpt Details
Piet Hein (1905-1996) was a Danish polymath (mathematician, inventor, designer, game inventor, poet). Hex, Tangloids, Morra, Tower, Polytaire, TacTix, Pyramystery, Soma cube are creative games developed by Hein. He created a new form of poetry, 'Grook' ("gruk" in Danish, short for 'GRin & sUK' - "laugh & sigh", in Danish), characterized by irony, paradox, brevity. He wrote over 10,000 of grooks, most in Danish or English, published in more than 60 books. Grooks are tangential with paradoxism. Piet Hein advocated the use of the super ellipse curve in city planning (later in furniture design and other realms), which became the hallmark of modern Scandinavian architecture. Hein defined art as a way of thinking about all subjects. He asserted that the great cultural divide is not between the haves and the have-nots, but between the knows and the know-nots....

This album displays instant photographies taken in Pakistan, during a two-week scientific visit to the Department of Mathematics of the COMSATS Information Technology Institute in Abbottabad, where Smarandache was invited in December 2017 to lecture on neutrosophic topics to professors and PhD students. The title of this photoalbum combines metaphorically the country name with the verb nibble, meaning, according to Cambridge Dictionary, to eat something by taking a lot of small bites; to bite something gently and repeatedly. This photojournal is accompanied by an instrumental performance of Pakistani traditional musical instruments....

Invited by the Faculty of Mathematical and Physical Sciences of the University of Guayaquil (Ecuador) to hold a conference, in Spanish, on applications of Neutrosophy (the scientific discipline he founded), Florentin Smarandache finds the perfect opportunity to produce a new photo album. If the precedent was given to us from the extreme south (Antarctica), this one is from the middle of the Earth (Equator). Beyond the neutrosophic conference, the author is fully sweetened by the landscape of the places and the local culture, capturing in images and short notes some historical, ethnographic, sociological, anthropological or gastronomic sequences....

After following the footsteps of Emil Racoviţă in Antarctica (December 2015), I walked on the footsteps of Charles Darwin in the Galápagos Islands (December 2016). Observing different phenomena, I therefore introduced for the first time the Neutrosophic Theory of Evolution, Involution, and Indeterminacy (or Neutrality). During the process of adaptation of a being (plant, animal, or human), to a new environment or conditions, the being partially evolves, partially devolves (degenerates), and partially is indeterminate i.e. neither evolving nor devolving, therefore unchanged (neutral), or the change is unclear, ambiguous, vague, as in neutrosophic logic. Thank to adaptation, one consequently has: evolution, involution, and indeterminacy (or neutrality), each one of these three neutrosophic components in some degree....
