One of the best ways to sharpen your brain, and to develop intelligence, is to study mathematics. It challenges and strengthens your mind in a way that very few other things do. It’s like going to the gym -- but for your brain!

Werner Heisenberg’s PhD defense in 1923 at the University of Munich was nearly a disaster. His written thesis had focused mostly on hydrodynamics, leaving him weak on experimental knowledge. During the oral exam, he stumbled badly on practical questions, like how a storage battery worked or the resolving power of a microscope. His examiners, especially Wilhelm Wien, were appalled at his lack of lab skills. Arnold Sommerfeld, his mentor, had to intervene, arguing that while Heisenberg was hopeless with equipment, his theoretical talent was extraordinary. In the end, he scraped through — barely passing — in what became one of the most awkward defenses in physics history.

Is the universe fundamentally mathematical or just described mathematically?

people have happily worked so hard to build stuff for you knowing they would never meet you

just hoping that some of the people of the future would continue the quest and build the next branch of the tech tree

Although I am a typical loner in daily life, my consciousness of belonging to the invisible community of those who strive for truth, beauty, and justice has preserved me from feeling isolated.

Spiritual consolation is an experience of interior joy that allows us to see God’s presence in everything. It strengthens faith, hope, and the ability of doing good; it helps us never give up in the face of difficulties because it gives us a peace that is stronger than any trial.
