The Maya Train is a circuit that goes around the Yucatan peninsula’s three states: Campeche, Quintana Roo and Yucatan.

Local residents pay the lowest fees followed by national tourists and then international tourists.

Few people around the World recognize the Mexican origin of the following inventions:

  1. Color TV by Guillermo Gonzalez-Camarena
  2. Indelible Ink by Filiberto Vazquez-Davila (this ink is used after voting)
  3. Jet Pack by Juan Manuel Lozano-Gallegos (used in beaches and sci-fi movies)
  4. Contraceptive Pill by Luis Ernesto Miramontes (used for birth control)

Congratulations to all Mexican inventors: contemporary and future ones!

Pocas personas en el mundo reconocen el origen mexicano de inventos que han tenido un impacto mundial. Entre ellos destacan la televisión a color inventada por Guillermo González Camarena; la tinta indeleble que nos aplican al votar en las elecciones inventada por Filiberto Vázquez Dávila; y el jet pack que vemos en las playas y en películas de ciencia ficción inventado por Juan Manuel Lozano Gallegos. También la píldora anticonceptiva fue inventada por el mexicano Luis Ernesto Miramontes. ¡Felicidades a todos los inventores mexicanos (actuales y futuros) en su día!

ENGLISH

I love the performance of Coldplay’s song MY UNIVERSE given by the Ukrainian children choir COLOR MUSIC. One of Mexico’s most famous scientists, Marcos Moshinsky, was born in Ukraine and immigrated to our country at age 3. His studies focused on Quantum Physics…a necessary tool to understand the universe. Through music and science…let’s connect with OUR UNIVERSE 🤓 !

ESPAÑOL

He quedado impactado con el coro infantil ucraniano COLOR MUSIC y la interpretación que le dan a la canción MY UNIVERSE de Coldplay. Curiosamente, uno de los científicos más reconocidos en nuestro país, nació en Ucrania y emigró a México a la edad de 3 años naturalizándose años después como mexicano. Su especialidad era el estudio relacionado a la física cuántica…conocimientos muy importantes para comprender al universo. ¡A través de la música y la ciencia, conectémonos con NUESTRO UNIVERSO 🤓!

Equinox

Teotihuacán in the central state of “Estado de México”.

ENGLISH

Mexicans love to welcome the spring equinox at ancient sacred places such as Teotihuacan, Chichen Itza & Tajin. The word equinox comes from the Latin words aequus(equal) and nos (night) giving the term equal night (since day and night have the same length during that day). In the northern hemisphere this happens when the Sun crosses the line of the equator with a northerly direction and it only happens twice a year: around March 19-20 and September 21-24. In Chichen Itza there is an interesting phenomenon of a “heavenly dragon” (Quetzalcoatl) descending from the main pyramid.

Chichen Itzá in the southeastern state of Yucatán.

ESPAÑOL

Los mexicanos acostumbramos visitar algunos sitios considerados sagrados tales como Teotihuacán, Chichen Itzá o el Tajín, para recibir el equinoccio de la primavera. La palabra equinoccio  proviene de la palabra latina aequus (igual) y la palabra nos(noche) dando origen al concepto de noche igual pues durante ese día la noche y el día tienen la misma duración. En el hemisferio norte ocurre cuando el sol cruza el ecuador, con dirección rumbo al norte con respecto al cielo, sucediendo esto sólo dos veces al año: en marzo entre el 19 y 20 y en septiembre, entre el 21 y 24. En Chichen itzá ocurre un interesante fenómeno done se ilumina la figura del Dios Quetzalcóatl simulando su descenso del cielo a la tierra.

In Tajín at the eastern state of Veracruz.
