Zelig-Like?

Filed under: General — Tags: , — m759 @ 10:46 pm

“On their way to obscurity, the Simulmatics people
played minor parts in major events, appearing Zelig-like
at crucial moments of 1960s history.”

Octads and Geometry

See the web pages octad.group and octad.us.

Related geometry (not the 759 octads, but closely related to them) —

The 4×6 rectangle of R. T. Curtis
illustrates the geometry of octads —

Counting symmetries with the orbit-stabilizer theorem

Curtis splits the 4×6 rectangle into three 4×2 "bricks" —

.

"In fact the construction enables us to describe the octads
in a very revealing manner. It shows that each octad,
other than Λ1, Λ2, Λ3, intersects at least one of these ' bricks' —
the 'heavy brick' – in just four points." . . . .

Dead Poet Joke

From the subtitles of the recent Kristen Stewart film “Underwater” —

00:30:26,144 –> 00:30:27,476
He’d always say
he had a new joke,

428
00:30:27,478 –> 00:30:29,445
and then he’d tell
the same stupid joke.

429
00:30:29,447 –> 00:30:32,785
I was… laughing at that joke.

430
00:30:34,053 –> 00:30:35,685
Yeah, what was it?

431
00:30:35,687 –> 00:30:38,654
What did the fish say when
it bumped into the brick wall?

April 11 was the dies natalis , in the Catholic sense, of John Horton Conway.

Dream

Filed under: General — Tags: — m759 @ 9:26 am

“All the schools of philosophy, from ancient Greece to the Enlightenment
encyclopedists, have dreamt of one day arriving at total and definitive
knowledge, a knowledge that encompasses the world. Indeed, the dream
lives on in the minds of some scientists today.”

— “Does Basic Research Have Meaning?” by Laurent Lafforgue —

“La recherche fondamentale a-t-elle un sens?
Quelques remarques d’un mathématicien catholique,”
Conférence donnée à l’Université de Notre-Dame,
aux États-Unis, le 20 mai 2011. Voici la version anglaise 
de cette conférence (traduite par Hélène Wilkinson)

Et voici  Larkin in Devs
