Epstein Secrets

Newton was an extraordinary man. He discovered many of the physical principles we use today, and his view of the Universe reigned unchallenged until Einstein’s discovery of relativity. He was also, by many accounts, a nasty piece of work. Not only was he a famous academic, he also head of the Royal Mint. H

k. Who cares why? In 1964, John Bell, an Irish physicist working at the Conseil Européen pour la Recherche Nucléaire (“CERN’), devised a way to test Einstein’s hidden variable theory. He pointed out that if photons possess hidden variables and we randomly measure them with a detector set at three angles, w

David Deutsch has suggested human creativity is used to guess the ‘program’ running in someone's mind, and evolved so we can learn skills. Instead, might face- to-

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
