Inception

Filed under: General — m759 @ 10:18 pm

Peter Woit in his weblog today

"Keating’s book is very much in the tradition of Watson’s The Double Helix, giving a portrayal of himself and others that doesn’t leave out the very human aspects of ambition, competitiveness and jealousy.

Unlike the Watson book, which is about a great scientific achievement, the unusual aspect of Keating’s story is that what he was involved in was not a success, but the biggest fiasco in the history of his field. On March 17th, 2014, the New York Times reported on its front page that Space Ripples Reveal Inflation’s Smoking Gun, and this same story was reported by most media outlets."

This  weblog on that date, St. Patrick's Day 2014 — 

The New York Times  front page story linked to above —

With a nod to Larry Doyle's "Sleeper Camp"—

From the Mathcamp Reunion Schedule for Saturday, July 24, 2010—

A happy Mathcamper defines Heaven, Hell, and Purgatory—

…Heaven and Hell relays. your team starts in hell, when you get one right, one person can go to heaven and work on heaven questions, but first they have to pass through purgatory. aka this means entertain the people running purgatory. for me this meant dancing in the middle of the gym. i danced and sung the YMCA, which they deemed sufficient (thankfully).

Note in the Mathcamp schedule the Friday night Shabbat dinner and the religious activity on Sunday— a "mini-puzzle hunt."

Black Art

Filed under: General — m759 @ 10:57 am

A search for posts in this journal on the actress Ellen Page
in the film "Inception" was suggested by Bastille Day (today),
by her character's name, Ariadne, and by the concluding image
of the previous post

 .

That search yielded the following image

IMAGE- 'Inception' totems: red die and chess bishop, with Inception 'Point Man' poster

which in turn suggests a "loop" back to this date last year —

 .

The New York Times  seems to prefer another sort of black art.
A 9 AM illustration from the Times Wire this morning is a misleading
attempt at humor that links to a very  dark poem —
