Code.nasa.gov. The Last Question. The last question was asked for the first time, half in jest, on May 21, 2061, at a time when humanity first stepped into the light.

The Last Question

The question came about as a result of a five dollar bet over highballs, and it happened this way: MEng project: lil2. Intelligent MIDI Sequencing with Hamster Control by Levy Lorenzo Abstract: This project was initially fueled by the desire to explore the MIDI protocol. It was decided that this would be accomplished by building a MIDI device. I also aimed to make something novel that had never been done before. Full Report in PDF format (For reasons I don't understand, you may need to save this file, then view it locally). PhET: Free online physics, chemistry, biology, earth science and math simulations. What math classes do I take? Fizix, Mathwonk has just generously given you some of the most profound advice I have ever heard given to another person.

Indeed, if it was a theorem, it would produce 1,000 more theorems. Please let this post and its length serve to you as an abstract template of how mathematics/ physics is truly done. Mathwonk dropped the nugget. Here comes the depth behind it. The same way math is really done. Lets get some things straight. Life is infinite dimensional young friend, and not discretely either. Set Theory. First published Thu Jul 11, 2002 Set Theory is the mathematical science of the infinite. It studies properties of sets, abstract objects that pervade the whole of modern mathematics. The language of set theory, in its simplicity, is sufficiently universal to formalize all mathematical concepts and thus set theory, along with Predicate Calculus, constitutes the true Foundations of Mathematics. As a mathematical theory, Set Theory possesses a rich internal structure, and its methods serve as a powerful tool for applications in many other fields of Mathematics.

HyperPhysics Concepts. About HyperPhysics Rationale for Development HyperPhysics is an exploration environment for concepts in physics which employs concept maps and other linking strategies to facilitate smooth navigation. For the most part, it is laid out in small segments or "cards", true to its original development in HyperCard. The entire environment is interconnected with thousands of links, reminiscent of a neural network. The bottom bar of each card contains links to major concept maps for divisions of physics, plus a "go back" feature to allow you to retrace the path of an exploration. Part of the intent for this exploration environment is to provide many opportunities for numerical exploration in the form of active formuli and standard problems implemented in Javascript.

New content for HyperPhysics will be posted as it is developed. A resource that was initiated as a resource for local high school physics teachers whom I had taught has expanded into an intensively used website worldwide. Graduating with a BA in physics, options? Don't fret too much. I was in your shoes 9 years ago. The job market was very similar then that it is today. I had a dual degree in Physics & Math. I considered jobs in statistics, engineering, teaching, ... practically anywhere that I thought I could apply my knowledge. Everywhere I looked, hirers wanted more specialization: more experience. Theoretical Physics. Aether, Structure and Forces. Copyright - Karim A. Khaidarov, May 31, 2005AETHER: THE STRUCTURE AND NUCLEAR FORCES (Aethereal theory of the matter) Dedicated to the bright memory of my daughter Anastasia This paper states the concept and results of the authors study, discovering real structure of the matter.

Ground Zero II

With Google's Maps framework and a bit of Javascript, you can see the outcome. And it doesn't look good. Now with Nuclear Fallout, Wind and Pressure Just what you need to be safe in these turbulent times: enter the address of that boss, teacher, colleague or loved one; select a weapon and a damage map mode. By clicking repeatedly on "Fallout" you can change the wind direction at the moment of the explosion. Where's the older version? Copy and paste the following to mashup the Ground Zero II script into your own website or blog: A ZIP archive with the source code can be found here.
