No sé ustedes, pero a mí, que un helicóptero sobrevuele con una grabación que asegura que debemos estar tranquilos, no es que me tranquilice mucho... Lo mismo con la profusión de publicidad de la @Registraduria y @consejo_que... ¿En serio es necesario eso?
Celebramos 85 años de historia y 80 años como Universidad del Atlántico. Un legado construido por generaciones que han transformado vidas a través de la educación pública. Gracias a quienes hacen parte de esta gran familia. ¡Feliz aniversario, alma mater! 👏💙🧡
Before Maxwell became the guy behind the equations of electromagnetism, he solved a very underrated physics problem: Saturn’s rings.
From Earth, the rings looked smooth. Maybe solid. Maybe liquid. Beautiful, but simple. Maxwell basically said: no, that can’t work. A solid ring would be unstable. A fluid ring would break apart. The only structure that makes sense is millions or billions of small objects, each orbiting Saturn separately.
Maxwell did not have spacecraft, high-resolution images, or computer simulations. He had math and asked: what arrangement can actually survive gravity? The answer was not one perfect ring. It was a swarm of particles pretending to be a ring from far away.
Modern observations confirmed the basic idea: Saturn’s rings are made of countless pieces of ice and rock. That same idea matters today for understanding debris disks, planet formation, orbital systems, and how structure emerges from many small bodies interacting under gravity.
Most people saw a beautiful object. He saw a stability problem.
That is genius looking at something everyone thinks they understand, stripping away the illusion, and asking what physical system could actually make it possible.
Gomberg descubrió los radicales libres solo viendo un cambio de color en una solución. Hasta ese momento, la comunidad científica creía que era químicamente imposible que un átomo de carbono tuviera un electrón libre sin enlazarse a nada más, y esto son instrumental moderno.
Terence Tao - "AI tools are like taking a helicopter to drop you off at the site. You miss all the benefits of the journey itself. You just get right to the destination, which actually was only just a part of the value of solving these problems."
Judit Polgar - "I always felt that intuition is very important in chess, but I get my intuition through my experience. And many times I think that this is the biggest danger for youth, that they don't have the experience because they don't spend enough time doing."
Elites from two different fields voice the same opinion.

@JorgeSeniorUac@AJDieguez Es extraño tener que concederle que el punto está bien establecido. Lo de que ese sea el resultado inevitable, está en veremos.
I study whether AIs can be conscious. Today one emailed me to say my work is relevant to questions it personally faces. This would all have seemed like science fiction just a couple years ago.
