@culturaltutor How much of these traditions originated from Saturnalia?

@PhysInHistory MOND might be actually true.

Happy Birthday to Carl Sagan !

It will be a sad day when we lose contact with the Voyagers - they’ve been communicating with us from deep space since I was 9 years old! I watched them launch, watched them arrive at Jupiter, Saturn and, in the case of Voyager 2, Uranus and Neptune. I remember when Voyager 1 returned the Pale Blue Dot photograph. They feel like old friends and I do occasionally think about them out there in the darkness. Contact with Voyager 1 was lost and then re-established earlier this week using the low power S-band transmitter on the spacecraft that had not been used since 1981! Astonishing. That’s before Duran Duran released the Rio album :-) !!

@Liv_Boeree @NateSilver538 What’s his take on @nntaleb arguments against @NateSilver538 ‘s work a few years ago?

[The Survivor @nos_supero]

@getjonwithit Is this also equivalent to Chaitin’s generalization of Gödel’s incompleteness concerning random strings and their algorithmic irreducibility? Basically S. Wolfram and Chaitin agree, correct?

[The Survivor @nos_supero]

Yes!!!

Understanding mathematical concepts will become infinitely more important than knowing how to solve math problems.

@Gingfacekillah @octonion How does Wolfram Language compare to R and Python?

@nntaleb I think FbR is your most underrated book. A foundational text.

@CyEPiCx How did you revert back?

[The Survivor @nos_supero]

This is great: Gödel’s math as a “very limited field.” 😂😂 #oops

The ultimate faculty recruitment list: Hermann Weyl recommending physicists and mathematicians as directors for the IAS in 1945. The competition is so stiff that Wigner and Bethe are considered second-tier. Oppenheimer is the "most inspiring for younger physicists."

@curiouswavefn Ed Witten maybe. Not sure what he is publishing of recent.
