Inception
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." |

Camp Inception
With a nod to Larry Doyle's "Sleeper Camp"—
From the Mathcamp Reunion Schedule for Saturday, July 24, 2010—
2:30-3:30 PM — John Conway Colloquium
3:30-5:30 PM — Relays: Heaven, Hell, and Purgatory!
In this journal on Saturday, July 24—
Playing with Blocks (noon) and The Leonardo Code (1 PM).
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).
— Imaginary Thoughts and Irrational Ideas weblog
Note in the Mathcamp schedule the Friday night Shabbat dinner and the religious activity on Sunday— a "mini-puzzle hunt."

Black Art
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 …
… 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 —
