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

I’m thinking here of Picasso, Einstein, Mozart, Edison, or Maxwell, but a precise definition of creative thinking is hard to pin down. Here are some generally accepted categories: Divergent Think

Long Now project, then, was like one of those carefully isolated arctic freezers, where samples of essential grains and DNA from Beethoven’s hair and Einstein’s brain are sunk and iced against the godforbid day in which our basic feedstock or a chunk of humanity has been wiped out by accident or disaster.

A machine with a representational understanding of Mozart's 41 symphonies can write you an extremely convincing 424 - or, if you wish, an even earlier First Symphony based on what it knows about his evolutio

on to win Nobel Prizes for Physics in 1956 and 1968, respectively. There are many similar anecdotes: Apparently stupid people go on to great things. 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

se are the thoughts we would most like to study. It might be that computers are not yet powerful enough, and in another few years they will be giving Mozart a run for his money. But there may also be a fundamental difference which renders them incapable of this sort of thinking. This is the crux of the mo

Turing travelled to America in 1937 and completed his doctoral thesis at Princeton. He might have stayed, but Europe was heating up and war seemed i

All art, knowledge and science would be entirely determined in our Universe and we would have no free will. If you philosophically rebel against thi

Only in the last chapter did the authors remind us that Einstein later put two of these three into question, and even the kinetics.

o firms. I got standard royalties from sales, not amounting to much, and they got the rest. Six published pieces by age 31 would not have impressed Mozart or Schubert. By lesser standards, it was a pretty good start. There are distinguished composers who have never found a publisher. Tomorrow the world!
