Comment on: Blog Post 'Playing to the BEAT of the DRUM ...': r, didn't give a definition — he described a process. He told attendees how he learned to do science, giving a detailed overview of formative experiences and underscoring their intellectual value. One of the patterns that emerged is that a mystery can be more valuable than the solution. When introduced to the mathematical concept pi, Feynman couldn't comprehend it. "But this was a great thing," he said, "and the result [was] that I looked for pi everywhere." When trying to determine why birds pecked at their feathers, he guessed wrongly, but his father revealed the true answer, and Feynman learned something new. And so "the point of this is that the result of observation, even if I were unable to come to the ultimate conclusion, was a wonderful piece of gold, with marvelous results." With that in mind, read this article with an invisible asterisk, partly because scientists may solve some or all of these mysteries one day — maybe today! But more importantly because failing to solve these mysteries is a journey of discovery in itself.

Comment on: Blog Post 'Playing to the BEAT of the DRUM ...': hanged. Not because it rusted. No, its meaning changed. The human environment around the screw changed. So the screw changed too. At first, the screw meant laughter, teasing, general irritation, neighbors coming together to see what’s going on. The screw became a violation of human duties. Then the screw changed into shrugging shoulders. And then the screw became peace. No one could walk past without a peek at the screw and feeling peace. Nature As Our AdvisorAnd I had these deep thoughts about potentiality as I understand easily from the BBC interview with Richard Feynman. He is a quantum physics scientist and if you ever want to understand nature and the way our reality is being created in space, please listen to his beautiful and fun explanations. I could never understand physics in school. But I can understand Richard. He tells me imaginatively about jiggling atoms. And why there’s heat and cold. And how symbiosis between objects is transferring heat and cold. Not making it more or less. Just transferring. And then I connected the dots with what Lynn Margulis taught me. About symbiosis in nature. Evolution. And how we always evolve. It just goes too slow for us to realize. That makes us depressed. At this moment, we just see many people and unfair humans systems being too deeply rooted in our human brains. We think we can’t do things differently. But we can! We are just toddlers on this Earth. The sun is just halfway through his lifespan. And we have 5 billion more years to figure it all out. …; Added by Michael Grove at 7:54 on October 23, 2021

Comment on: Video 'QED and richard feynman part 1': ency. Then a method was discovered for separating the ideas–which was to try one to see if it worked, and if it didn't work, to eliminate it. This method became organized, of course, into science. And it developed very well, so that we are now in the scientific age. It is such a scientific age, in fact that we have difficulty in understanding how witch doctors could ever have existed, when nothing that they proposed ever really worked–or very little of it did.

Comment on: Blog Post 'a matrix': wn work included the concept of the "S-matrix" (a mathematical tool that helps us understand Standard Model particles). Beyond the physics community, Wheeler is probably best known for coining the terms "black hole" and "wormhole". But he also coined a slightly less familiar phrase - "it from bit" - and this is what concerns us here. The idea of "it from bit" IS a complex one, and Wheeler's own description of it is probably still the best. In 1990 he suggested that "every 'it' - every particle, every field of force, even the space-time continuum itself — derives its function, its meaning, its very existence entirely… from the apparatus-elicited answers to yes-or-no questions, binary choices, bits". The "it from bit" principle, he continued, "symbolises the idea that every item of the physical world has at bottom… an immaterial source and explanation: that which we call reality arises in the last analysis from the posing of yes-no questions and the registering of equipment-evoked responses; in short, that all things physical are information-theoretic in origin and that this is a participatory universe". …; Added by Michael Grove at 19:47 on June 17, 2015

Comment on: Blog Post 'Goonhilly Satellite Earth Station': inct. Very rarely does one individual simultaneously make central contributions to all three — but Claude Shannon was a rare individual. Despite being the subject of the recent documentary The Bit Player — and someone whose work and research philosophy have inspired my own career — Shannon is not exactly a household name. He never won a Nobel Prize, and he wasn’t a celebrity like Albert Einstein or Richard Feynman, either before or after his death in 2001. But more than 70 years ago, in a single groundbreaking paper, he laid the foundation for the entire communication infrastructure underlying the modern information age. Having established my own initial multi-media connessione twixt Science, Mathematics and engineering, I first became aware of Claude Shannon, having already become aware of his importance to Vannevar Bush as an exemplar example of the importance of AS WE MAY THINK …; Added by Michael Grove at 21:45 on December 23, 2020
