Math classes really are like "ok so if we use Euler's method to solve Euler's equation then, by making use of Euler's identity, we can then plug that into Euler's other equation and deduce that Euler's inequality holds so long as the coefficients are Eulerian numbers"

@AzzamAmeen A physics joke: If Siyambalapitiya belonged to a conservative party, no work would've been done.

Love this photo and the blog about the important work 20 years ago factoring 15 with NMR.

It's just too easy to trick the human brain into seeing or not seeing things. When the predictive algorithm isn't up to the task.

A person of sound mind should be able to die when they want to. Good to see technology is being developed to make that more attainable.

There is a famous anecdote about young Einstein wondering what it would be like to ride on a beam of light. But what is that thought experiment actually supposed to teach us? Explanation by John Norton.

@sooriyampola Never thought I'd ever listen to BTS but Coldplay had other plans for me. Great song though.

@stevenstrogatz Holding on to that interpretation,
Capacity of the tank = 5x-4 = 3(x+4).
Upon solving that, we get x = 8. Hence, the capacity of the tank is 36 L. But yeah, mind reading shouldn't be a part of Math.

[Pubudu Wijesinghe @pubudugw]

@stevenstrogatz Agreed! My interpretation is, he was trying to create a relationship between the number of pails used in each case. If he used x pails in the 5-liter case, by saying "another 4 more pails", he's trying to imply Nelson used (x+4) gallons in the 3-liter case.

@ChandikaJohan Okay, glad I'm not alone. 😅

A maze could amaze you.

[Matt Henderson @matthen2]

the dumbest way to solve a maze? simulate a gas of thousands of particles diffusing from the start point, until one particle reaches the exit. trace back the winning particle

@towo @PatrickKidger Makes sense. That's a beautiful explanation. Thank you, @towo!

New study finds that people's heart rates synchronize when listening closely to a story--even if they're not in the same room. The research suggests that attention and consciousness are key for this phenomenon to occur. Read more in @CellReports: https://t.co/B8R46uPhcc
