Because there are ~ 8 x 10⁶⁷ possible ways to arrange a 52-card deck, the number of different orders is unimaginably large.
Even if every person on Earth shuffled a deck every second for billions of years, we wouldn’t come close to exhausting all possibilities. That’s why, when you thoroughly shuffle a deck, the exact order of cards in your hands has almost certainly never existed before in the entire history of the universe.
Richard Feynman, Nobel de Física, lo dejó claro:
"La mayoría de personas saben muchas cosas. Pero no saben pensar."
Dio esta clase de 1 hora sobre física e imaginación.
Sus 12 lecciones de vida:
1. La imaginación le gana al conocimiento.
The 1927 Solvay Conference in Brussels brought together 29 of the world’s leading physicists to discuss quantum theory. Among them were 17 current or future Nobel Prize winners, including Albert Einstein, Niels Bohr, Marie Curie, and Erwin Schrödinger. ✍️
The Casimir Effect is a quantum phenomenon where two uncharged, parallel metal plates placed very close together in a vacuum attract each other. This happens due to quantum fluctuations in the vacuum, showing that even empty space has energy.
Voyager 1 is 24 billion kilometers from Earth.
It communicates with us using a 23-watt transmitter.
Less than a refrigerator light bulb.
The signal takes 22 hours to reach us, traveling at the speed of light.
By the time it arrives, it's 20 billion times weaker than the power of a digital watch battery.
NASA's Deep Space Network picks it up using 70-meter dish antennas cooled to near absolute zero to reduce electronic noise.
The engineering required to hear a 23-watt signal from 24 billion km away is arguably more impressive than the spacecraft itself.
Launched 1977.
Still transmitting.
Still being heard.
We built something that works perfectly, 47 years later, in conditions no one has ever tested in.
That's what engineering for the long term looks like.
