Visiting
Copenhagen University/Carlos Pueblo
I saw
Copenhagen University on the map at the old town Copenhagen
and decided
to visit this famous institution of Niels Bohr, a physics
professor
who was on my text books from high school, college, to
graduate
school. He defines some quantum mechanics theory of different
energy level
on various electron configuration. Electron can jump around
the atomic
orbits all the time by absorbing or releasing energy or radiation.
This was a
very basic quantum theory which I fortunately understood it and
helped me to
pass all the examinations at schools. I must come to visit him,
of course
his statue in front of the main building.
First, I
went through a green garden lake park called Orsteds-Parken. It is one
of a series
of green garden lake parks parallel to
Sankt Jargens Lake. Above this
park is the
Botanic Garden and Rosenborg Castle is the adjacent neighbor.
Another two
parks between Osterport Station, one is facing the harbor with a
a statue of
the little mermaid, a fairy tale created by Hans Christian Andersen,
now becomes
an important tourist point. I have visited Andersen’s Spain home
town Malaga
yet I missed this one. I shall visit this park on my next European
cruise
disembark at Copenhagen harbor just next to the mermaid statue.
Danes tell
me that the University has a new campus out of the old town due to
the expansion
and I believe that is the case of most of the famous European
institutions.
Almost all the European nations provide free tuition college education;
therefore,
most ancient colleges required expansion. Some old colleges at the old
town area
are very small and crowded not like the universities in the U.S. with
several
hundred acres land yet these institution are the backbone of European
industrial
revolution.
