Epstein Secrets

hrough Newton's discovery of the laws of motion, through the experimental and theoretical investigations of the nature of electromagnetism, through Einstein's unification of space and time, through the discoveries of the nucleus, quantum mechanics, protons, neutrons, and the discovery of the weak and st

romagnetic wave whose speed could be calculated from first principles, and lo and behold, the prediction was equal to the mea- sured speed of light. Einstein's unification of space and time predicted that clocks would slow for moving observers, and lo and behold, they do, and in just the way he predicted

Einstein’s teacher famously stated he would never amount to anything and Sir John Gurdon’s school report said he was ‘too stupid’ for science. He went on to d

It’s one designed to be hard for computers to play and has been tested extensively against Fritz, a chess computer Grand Masters use for practice. But Deep Blue doesn’t seem fazed.
