  • The Inventor’s Notebook

    “Genius is one percent inspiration, ninety-nine percent perspiration.” – Thomas Alva Edison, Harper’s Monthly (September 1932) Thomas Edison’s first successful light bulb model, used in public demonstration at Menlo Park, December 1879 You might find a similarity here, that speaks to ingenuity and such, while seeing the historical significance of what is being spoken too.…

  • The Socratic method

    Death of Socrates by Jacques Davidthis picture depicts the closing moments of the life of Socrates. Condemned to death or exile by the Athenian government for his teaching methods which aroused scepticism and impiety in his students, Socrates heroicly rejected exile and accepted death from hemlock. Self portrait of Jacques-Louis David, 1794, Musée du Louvre…

  • Factoids and Censorship

    Often taking the time to absorbed the full perspective of the writer is just as much an effort as it is to understand the nature and understanding of research and information development about a topic. Where that writer leaves off. Bradbury on FAHRENHEIT 451 See also at Home with Ray What space has this writer…

  • Numerical Relativity and the Human Experience?

    “I’m a Platonist — a follower of Plato — who believes that one didn’t invent these sorts of things, that one discovers them. In a sense, all these mathematical facts are right there waiting to be discovered.”Donald (H. S. M.) Coxeter I contrast the nature of Numerical Relativity to the computer and the way we…

  • The Value of the Dollar

    Ingenuity The term ingenuity or applied ideas is used in the analysis of Thomas Homer-Dixon, building on that of Paul Romer, to refer to what is usually called instructional capital. Ingenuity is often inherent in creative individuals, and thus is considered hard to separate from individual capital. It is not clear if Dixon or Romer…

  • Progress on the House

    (Please ignore the date on the picture as it was taken yesterday by my wife.) One of the first things that I will be doing is getting a new satellite system called Xplorinet to replace the dial up service I am now using. Can you image the patience that is needed in order to complete…

  • Pasquale Del Pezzo and E8 Origination?

    “I’m a Platonist — a follower of Plato — who believes that one didn’t invent these sorts of things, that one discovers them. In a sense, all these mathematical facts are right there waiting to be discovered.“Donald (H. S. M.) Coxeter There are two reasons that having mapped E8 is so important. The practical one…

  • Collider Detector at Fermilab and Slac

    Current evidence shows that neutrinos do oscillate, which indicates that neutrinos do have mass. The Los Alamos data revealed a muon anti-neutrino cross over to an electron neutrino. This type of oscillation is difficult to explain using only the three known types of neutrinos. Therefore, there might be a fourth neutrino, which is currently being…

  • Gravity Free Environment on Earth

    It’s taken some time from a layman perspective to try and “place this experiment” in a setting that helps orientate views. Well, at least in my case. :) So here is a “guide below” that may seem trivial to some, yet, directed to the “microperspective” on this experiment, speak to cosmology as well. While it…

  • Status of "Warp Drive"

    Time is of your own making; its clock ticks in your head. The moment you stop thought time too stops dead. Angelus Silesius The plot created here in this post in this fictional sense(?) so that I too may deal with the issues of time travel? Of course time travel is on my mind for…

  • Bacon is Shakespeare?

    A modern day puzzle, becomes, blogger world signatures? Taken to a, “Whole….nother….Level. Creativity? Ways in which we allow “information” to travel through? Play the game? Allow “ingenuity” as the “poetic river that flows” to the surface on you, from everything, or, the blank slate? What kind of person are you who reveals them self in…
