We have started a new playlist on our YouTube channel aimed at a broad audience in addition to the attoscience community and contains short interviews with our peers. With this, we hope to provide insight into who we are and what we do. We have asked our interviewees the following questions (and variations thereof): 1) Tell us a bit about yourself & your science 2) How did you end up doing attosecond physics and why do you find it exciting? 3) How do you see the field evolving? 4) Is there a message you would like to share with our audience? The playlist is available here: https://lnkd.in/ev69s_zs

I am pleased to share a new blog post exploring the fascinating topic of Theorem Discovery Amongst Cyclic Polygons. The post delves into geometric theorems on cyclic 2n-gons and presents an intriguing formula for the linear combination of angles between sides. The insights from this research can be leveraged to create novel geometry proof problems and their solutions. For a deeper dive into this subject, check out the blog post at https://bit.ly/4b7ohwS.

The answer to Dr Richard Phillips Feynman’s (May 11, 1918 – February 15, 1988) thought experiment might evolve with the advancement of conventional scientific knowledge, but the essence would likely remain similar, emphasizing the fundamental aspects of the universe that enable a broad reconstruction of conventional scientific knowledge. By 2024 CE, an updated version of the statement might incorporate more recent understandings in conventional physics, biology, information theory, and cosmology. However, the challenge remains to encapsulate the breadth of conventional scientific knowledge in a single sentence. A 2024 CE version of an answer might be something like: The universe is composed of quantum fields and elementary particles which govern the structure and dynamics of everything, from the smallest scales of subatomic particles to the largest structures in the cosmos, all obeying the principles of quantum mechanics and relativity, with information encoding the complexity of life and consciousness. This sentence attempts to capture the essence of the standard model of particle conventional physics, the theory of general relativity, the role of quantum mechanics, and the significance of information in biological systems. It also hints at the interconnectedness of scales in the universe, from quantum to cosmic, and acknowledges the emergent phenomena such as life and consciousness. Even so, reducing the entirety of conventional scientific knowledge to a single sentence means losing many nuances and details. Different conventional scientists might highlight other aspects of conventional science they deem most critical for rebuilding knowledge, such as the DNA's role in heredity and the evolution of life or the importance of energy and entropy in thermodynamics and information theory.
In 1961, Richard Feynman stepped in front of a Caltech lecture hall and posed this question to a group of undergraduate students: "If, in some cataclysm, all of scientific knowledge were to be destroyed, and only one sentence was passed on to the next generation of creatures, what statement would contain the most information in the fewest words?" His answer was: "all things are made of atoms—little particles that move around in perpetual motion, attracting each other when they are a little distance apart, but repelling upon being squeezed into one another" What would be the 2024 answer to Feynman's thought experiment?

This is a noncommutative torus. Isn't it cool? It's featured in a brand new course on OpenCourseWare about noncommutative algebra, which is used in disciplines ranging from quantum physics to number theory. Check out the course, and be sure to review the beautiful lecture notes created by Prof. Roman Bezrukavnikov. https://lnkd.in/ee7dpgFF (📷 by Ernesto Lupercio)

🌌 New research by SFI’s David Wolpert & David Kinney explores randomness in science and math. From predicting tritium atom decay to solving 2+2, they propose a unified probabilistic framework, likening it to spinning a roulette wheel. Their work sheds light on how humans reason about both math & the physical universe. Read more: https://lnkd.in/eFbKK97S
