ONCE A MONTH MERGERS. “With this new discovery of neutron star-black hole mergers outside our galaxy, we have found the missing type of binary. We can finally begin to understand how many of these systems exist, how often they merge, and why we have not yet seen examples in the Milky Way.” The researchers believe that one of these violent mergers occurs about once a month within a billion light-years of Earth.“ https://www.cnn.com/2021/06/29/world/black-hole-neutron-star-merger-scn/index.html View in LinkedIn

WATTS. “Beckett is fascinated by Descartes scholastic method of revealing faith by reason and his steps of reasoning. Take the whole, break it into its parts, start with the simplest and list every possibility -- this what Beckett does with his lists of permutations -- except that there is no revealed truth for Beckett’s permutations. Cycles of futility, no dramatic conclusions. It is about pausing and feeling a sense of despair and then going on.” https://youtu.be/1t0HVAW9SOU View in LinkedIn

DUAL CHANGES. “Another example of how a new language changes a language that preceded it is the way the emergence of abstract science affected mathematics with scientists developing new kinds of mathematics to describe nature. Descartes’s analytic geometry and Newton’s differential calculus being two examples of this among many other examples.” https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-030-59177-9_13 View in LinkedIn

CHANGING MEDIUM. “This observation of the effects of phonetic writing supports the notion that mathematics will change in the age of information, i.e. the age of computers and the Internet. Mathematics is, in fact, changing as is reported in the Wikipedia article Computer-assisted proof.” https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-030-59177-9_13 View in LinkedIn
