"Do not imagine that mathematics is hard and crabbed, and repulsive to common sense. It is merely the etherealization of common sense."
Quoted in Life of Lord Kelvin (1910) by Silvanus Phillips Thompson
Happy Birthday Lord Kelvin! Today is the 200th anniversary of the birth of William Thomson, an Irish mathematician, mathematical physicist and engineer.

"Science is nothing without generalisations... The suggestion of a new idea, or the detection of a law, supersedes much that had previously been a burden upon the memory, and by introducing order and coherence facilitates the retention of the remainder in an available form."

This week I've been rewriting (in Zig) the position-based dynamics & cellular-automata engines used for the cloth sim in my #DANZA art project (check the hashtag for older WIP)... Still endless tweaking, but could already stare at this beauty for hours, literally!
(And of course, I'm also again "dogfooding" http://thi.ng/genart-api for defining/handling parameters and animation timing...)

"The moment of discovery" does not always exist: the scientist's work is too tenuous, too divided, for the certainty of success to crackle out suddenly in the midst of his laborious toil like a stroke of lightening, dazzling him by its fire.
In: Eve Curie - Madame Curie - Chapter XII (p. 158)

Happy birthday Cesar Lattes, Brazilian physicist who was born #OTD 100 years ago!
He became well-known for his work on cosmic rays. In 1947, while working at the University of Bristol in England with Cecil Powell & Giuseppe Occhialini, he played a crucial role in the discovery of the pion. He also contributed to the early development of the CERN. Lattes worked extensively in Brazil, particularly at the Centro Brasileiro de Pesquisas Físicas and the Universidade Estadual de Campinas.
People sometimes ask me what interpretation of #quantum mechanics I prefer.
I point out that quantum mechanics is a method for solving #physics problems. What they are really asking is how do I interpret the physical realities underlying those physics problems.
It is held by physicists that, if you use any method other than quantum mechanics to solve those problems, you will get different results.
How mathematicians have tolerated this doctrine is a mystery. It is preposterous...

British electrical engineer Godfrey Hounsfield died #OTD in 2004.
He shared the 1979 Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine with Allan MacLeod Cormack for his part in developing the diagnostic technique of X-ray computed tomography (CT). His name is immortalised in the Hounsfield scale, a quantitative measure of radiodensity used in evaluating CT scans.

Because, what is happening here, in Veldhoven, has been catching the #attention of the #worlds_superpowers. In fact, something that is happening here, quietly, in the background, just might dramatically change the world for the better of humanity??? or cause a #full on #economic_collapse, and maybe, just maybe, make an #old_empire #rise once again.

It is time to honor Emmy Noether with a momentum unit.
For several years, I have been declaring that, in my class, one kg m/s is equal to one Noether, in honor of Emmy Noether, whose theorem shows, among other things, that space translation symmetry results in conservation of momentum.

#OTD in 1933.
Hungarian-American physicist Leo Szilard conceived of the idea of the nuclear chain reaction while waiting for a traffic light in Bloomsbury, London. He patented the idea in 1936.

Scottish chemist and physicist James Dewar was born #OTD in 1842.
He is best known for his invention of the vacuum flask, which he used in conjunction with research into the liquefaction of gases. He also studied atomic and molecular spectroscopy, working in these fields for more than 25 years. Dewar was nominated for the Nobel Prize 8 times — 5 times in Physics and 3 times in Chemistry — but he never succeeded in winning it.

English physicist and chemist Michael Faraday was born #OTD in 1791.
Faraday discovered that a changing magnetic field could induce an electric current in a wire, laying the foundation for the concept of the electromagnetic field. He formulated the fundamental laws of electrolysis; he was the inventor of the Faraday cage and he discovered the Faraday effect.

#OTD in 1905.
Albert Einstein publishes the third of his Annus Mirabilis papers, introducing the special theory of relativity, which used the universal constant speed of light c to derive the Lorentz transformations.
There are some controversies on the question of the extent to which Mileva Marić contributed to the insights of Einstein's annus mirabilis publications

#OTD in 1822.
French physicist Augustin-Jean Fresnel, in a "note" read to the Academy of Sciences, reports a direct refraction experiment verifying David Brewster's hypothesis that photoelasticity (as it is now known) is stress-induced birefringence.
French physicist Léon Foucault was born #OTD in 1819.
He is best known for his demonstration of the Foucault pendulum, a device demonstrating the effect of Earth's rotation. With Hippolyte Fizeau he carried out a series of investigations on the intensity of the light of the sun, as compared with that of carbon in the arc lamp, and of lime in the flame of the oxyhydrogen blowpipe. His is one of the 72 names inscribed on the Eiffel Tower.

"Anyone who is not shocked by quantum theory has not understood it."
Danish physicist Niels Bohr was born #OTD in 1885.
Bohr made foundational contributions to understanding atomic structure and quantum theory, for which he received the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1922. Bohr was also a philosopher and a promoter of scientific research.
The Niels Bohr Institute at the University of Copenhagen was inaugurated March 3, 1921, by Bohr.

A derivation of the correlation of two-channel optical Bell test experiment, WITHOUT QUANTUM MECHANICS, that I recently posted to Facebook. This is a copy of the posting on Tumblr:
It is the same derivation I usually present and have for months. It is among the simplest of disproofs of Bell's and Clauser's famous but utterly fallacious works. In experiments such as those of Aspect, the particles are NOT "entangled" and move normally.

How Ramanujan's formulae for pi connect to modern high energy physics
Most of us first hear about the irrational number π (pi)—rounded off as 3.14, with an infinite number of decimal digits—in school, where we learn about its use in the context of a circle. More recently, scientists have developed supercomputers that can estimate up to trillions of its digits.
