#macromondays #curves
The curve, also in mathematics called a curved line in theoretical and applied mathematics texts is the mathematical object similar or different to the axial straight plane lines, the curved line is not a straight line but may be a function, or the curved line may be part of a non straight plane (nonrectangular object), or part of a sphere or spherical object, or a curved plane, etc., and there too is different to straight lines that are part of straight planes but for some functions may be projected to a straight plane into straight planes.
A plane algebraic curve is the zero set of a polynomial in two indeterminates. More generally, an algebraic curve is the zero set of a finite set of polynomials, which satisfies the further condition of being an algebraic variety of dimension one. If the coefficients of the polynomials belong to a field k, the curve is said to be defined over k. In the common case of a real algebraic curve, where k is the field of real numbers, an algebraic curve is a finite union of topological curves. When complex zeros are considered, one has a complex algebraic curve, which, from the topological point of view, is not a curve, but a surface, and is often called a Riemann surface. Although not being curves in the common sense, algebraic curves defined over other fields have been widely studied. In particular, algebraic curves over a finite field are widely used in modern cryptography.

Eyes by Theoretical Afterthought
The look of love is in your eyes
A look your smile can't disguise
The look of love is saying so much more than just words could ever say
And what my heart has heard, well it takes my breath away
I can hardly wait to hold you, feel my arms around you
How long I have waited
Waited just to love you, now that I have found you
You've got the
Look of love, it's on your face
A look that time can't erase
Be mine tonight, let this be just the start of so many nights like this
Let's take a lover's vow and then seal it with a kiss
I can hardly wait to hold you, feel my arms around you
How long I have waited
Waited just to love you, now that I have found you
Don't ever go
Don't ever go
I love you so

"Boulevard Of Broken Dreams"
I walk a lonely road
The only one that I have ever known
Don't know where it goes
But it's home to me and I walk alone
I walk this empty street
On the Boulevard of Broken Dreams
Where the city sleeps
and I'm the only one and I walk alone
I walk alone
(GreenDay)
Mysteries such as these are not merely theoretical and theological; they are thoroughly practical. It makes a great difference to the act of contemplation whether I see myself as an isolated subject, who, albeit assisted by God’s grace, endeavors to understand something of the mysteries of revelation; or whether, in faith, I have the conviction that my inadequate attempt to understand is supported by the wisdom of the Holy Spirit dwelling within me, that my acts of worship, petition and thanksgiving are borne along and remodeled by the Spirit’s infinite and eternal acts, in that ineffable union by which all human doing and being has been lifted up and plunged into the river of eternal life and love.
-HANS URS VON BALTHASAR, PRAYER, pg 76
Schrodinger's cat is a famous theoretical thought experiment in quantum physics
If even remotely interested......
There's something called The Copenhagen Interpretation that posits that "things" at the subatomic level don't have any determined properties, only possibilities. A particle can be in two places at the same time, the atom can be in both an excited and unexcited state at the same time, and a photon can be both a particle and a wave.
What determines what we see is our measurement and observation,
Then all the probabilities collapse into one, the one being observed.
Schrodinger wasn't a fan of that theory, so he devised a thought experiment to show how absurd it would be to apply to the gross world of stuff.
He said imagine we put a cat in a box. Also in the box is a radioactive particle which might, or might not begin to decay and emit radiation. If it does, there's a gieger counter which will trigger the release of a noxious gas that will kill the cat.
Then we put a lid on the box.
But until someone opens the box, the cat is both alive and dead.
That's hugely oversimplified, but it's the layman's gist.
This little cat was sitting under a curb on a recessed sewer grate.
So,, is it coming or going or both?
I'm happy to say it was alive. ;-))
A warp drive is a theoretical superluminal spacecraft propulsion system in many science fiction works, most notably Star Trek and I, Robot by Isaac Asimov. A spacecraft equipped with a warp drive may travel at speeds greater than that of light by many orders of magnitude. In contrast to some other fictitious FTL technologies such as a jump drive, the warp drive does not permit instantaneous travel between two points, but rather involves a measurable passage of time which is pertinent to the concept. In contrast to hyperdrive, spacecraft at warp velocity would continue to interact with objects in "normal space." The general concept of "warp drive" was introduced by John W. Campbell in his 1931 novel Islands of Space

Recently the field of theoretical cosmology has been enervated by the suggestion that our universe is the mirror image of another one stretching back in time before the Big Bang (see, for example, www.research.ed.ac.uk/en/publications/icpti-symmetric-uni... ).
Intrigued, I set out to test whether this was observable in practice. After a quick calculation on the back of an old envelope (cigarette packets now being not Politically Correct) I worked out that conditions would be favourable for an experiment in the period around the vernal equinox for my latitude (51N). At this time the angles of the Earth’s gravitational field, the neutrino flux from the sun and a local EM field could be arranged to the optimum.
So, setting a sufficiently powerful Tesla coil in a glass envelope with an inert gas (I used Nitrogen), I tried it out.
And it worked!
Sometimes I could actually see the dim reflection of the alternate universe appear in the glass capsule, but perhaps the best result was this one where I managed to create a wormhole bridging the paired universes.
If you look carefully at the image though you might observe that the energetic feedback created by the wormhole burnt out my coil… such are the sacrifices of science…
---
Storytelling idiocy aside, this image was one of the fun results of an evening spent with a local friendly group of photographers taking images of lightbulbs on tablets (and other things but I didn’t get that far :( ).
I used a clear glass bulb on my iPaddle which I set up to show some very colourful graphic images that I had generated using Midjourney (I finally found something useful to do with that toybox… The text prompt for this one, if you are interested, was ‘Close - up macro HDR photograph of the centre of mirrored 3D circle sculptures, overlapping rainbow circular fractal, vivid rainbow colours, graphic abstract’).
The bulb was lying on its side at an angle resting on the bayonet fitting so I made the canvas larger and rotated it. Starting in Capture One I dropped the greys to black using a levels adjustment and played with the Clarity and a little Dehaze. In Affinity I sharpened it with High Pass/Linear blend and a bit of Unsharp mask and enriched the colour. Then quite a lot of work with inpainting to remove the vestiges of the iPad and a lot of dust.
PS I forgot to mention that this was a focus stack of ten images, though I suspect only four or five contributed anything useful. The camera did the focusing and I used Helicon Focus for the stacking, which I've not really done before (it was fast, worked with raws and produced a dng output).
Thanks for taking the time to look. I hope you enjoy the image. Happy Easter and 100x :)
Theoretical location is Baristo and Aveneda Caballeros I have selected as of nearly seven years ago is near perfect and central located with just the right amount of land to accommodate the masjid and islamic learning center. This is also ideal as other places of worship have built in this area so zoning would likely be a less of a challenge as a result.

"Theoretical Matter" 1999 (detail)
- welded steel
Neil Taylor is an artist working in Melbourne. This welded steel sculpture creates an interesting impression when looked at closely. As Taylor himself describes his work:
"I try for an unimpeded apprehension of the whole piece simultaneous with the space it occupies. Space is illustrated as much as an idea presented. Emptiness is manifest, the laws of structure reveal space as pure potential, scaffolds open up space and give it a known face."
Been sifting through 4k in pics I have on my hard drive and snapped this one when I had the pleasure to meet Theo in world as her exhibit. Even though she is not inworld anymore her spirit continues to live on in her work which continues to be a huge inspiration to me.
Her av had an ageless beauty about her like a character out of Cabaret not to mention the awesome music conductor like typing ao she had, so I thought this tune would be appropriate with the image.

Theoretical results about the Universe suggests that we, like holograms, are made of matter and energy. One may say that from the Universe's quantum physics (black hole theory) perspective.. we 'are' in theory 'holograms' with spacial depth.
Hologram
The term is taken from the Greek words holos (whole) and gramma (message or letter).
Unlike 3-D or virtual reality on a two-dimensional computer display, a hologram is a truly three-dimensional and free-standing image.
Theoretically, holograms could someday be transmitted electronically to a special display device in our home.
The theory of holography was developed over 60 years ago by inventor Dennis Gabor in the year 1947.
The recent development of laser technology made holography possible.

psychosocial therapies are part of the standard management of schizophrenic illnesses, but have not been subjected to systematic evaluation and are therefore not included in this guideline. This does not imply that they are not essential components of good practice.
The remainder of this section describes the evidence for the effectiveness of Education Programmes, Family Interventions, and Cognitive Behaviour Therapy in the management of schizophrenia. Section 3 provides recommendations for the application of these interventions in clinical practice, according to the phase of the illness.
Education programmes
Education Programmes are directed at either patients or carers/family members and have several aims. Improvement in knowledge of schizophrenia and its course and in compliance with treatment has been shown. There is also evidence of greater satisfaction with services provided. Some programmes go beyond the provision of information and take an educational approach to skills training or problem solving.
Education Programmes for patients may be undertaken in individual or in group settings. Simple information-giving is less effective than interactive sessions. The focus includes giving information about the course and management of the illness, including the importance of compliance with medication and the management of stress.
Providing carers and family members with information on the likely course of the illness, the treatments available, the importance of compliance and the services available is an essential element of good practice It may be undertaken as part of a Family Intervention programme
Specific techniques, e.g. use of homework or video, have not been shown to improve the assimilation of information, but a group setting has advantages
Family interventions
The aims of 'Family Intervention' include reduction of frequency of relapse into illness and reduction of hospital admissions, reduction in the burden of care on families and carers, and improvement in compliance with medication.
Some Family Intervention Programmes have targeted families where there are high levels of criticism, hostility and over-involvement. 'High expressed emotion' is a measure of these features and programmes which reduce this or reduce the amount of 'face to face' contact between the patient and family members have been shown to reduce the frequency of relapse. However, the measurement of expressed emotion is a research technique which is not practical for everyday use. Family Intervention Programmes which are not derived from this theoretical background have been shown to be effective.
Most intervention strategies contain more than one technique. Separating and defining the effects of the components of an intervention strategy is not possible at present as few studies examine the effect of a single technique and only a general description of interventions used in research studies is usually given. However, a number of practice guides have been published which give detailed descriptions of the techniques employed in some studies. Family Intervention has been shown to be effective with some variation in the components of the programme, but family sessions to address the problems identified in the analysis may not be effective if the patient is not included. Social skills training and vocational rehabilitation were included in some studies. These are not covered as separate interventions in the guideline.
Cognitive behaviour therapy
Cognitive Behaviour Therapy for psychosis is a modification of standard cognitive behavioural therapy. The aim is to modify symptoms (e.g. delusions, hallucinations) or the consequences of the symptoms which may be cognitive, emotional, physiological or behavioural. The treatment programme is intensive (involving about 20 hours of individual treatment) and based on an individually tailored formulation which provides an explanation of the development, maintenance and exacerbation of symptoms and of pre-morbid mood, interpersonal and behavioural difficulties.
There is now good evidence that treatment resistant symptoms (delusions, hallucinations) can be substantially reduced in a significant proportion of those who complete therapy. It is not yet clear who is most likely to benefit from treatment and many patients may be unwilling to participate. The treatment is well tolerated. However, reduction of symptoms has not been shown to lead to significant social or lifestyle improvements.
A combination of the following techniques has been shown to be most effective in lessening symptoms of psychosis resistant to other forms of treatment:
◦enhancement of cognitive behavioural coping strategies5
◦developing a rationale to explain symptoms28◦realistic goal setting
◦modification of delusional beliefs29◦modification of dysfunctional assumptions.
A number of these techniques are a refinement of normal good practice using a systematic approach.
'Early Intervention Studies' have aimed to identify prodromal symptoms or the 'signature' preceding relapse. The approach is not a form of cognitive therapy, but early intervention with medication or Cognitive Behaviour Therapy may be facilitated
I'm trying to catch up on reading... especially for my documentary film class. The reading is all so theoretical, it's way too frustrating!
Here's a random passage:
"Less tainted by its reliance on an image that has become ubiquitous and formative, documentary's alliance with the dominant discourses of the day returns as the fundamental concern but no longer in terms of a supporting or ancillary role. Instead the propagation of images is all about us. The disparagement of images and movies, marking both a dominant feature film industry and a marginal nonnarrative cinema, draws on both idealist and pragmatic traditions to promote the illusion that that which affects us most--images--matters least."

“Like the Sirens who lured Ulysses to a blissful yet certain death, the northwest face of the Devil’s Thumb continues to tempt the alpinist onto her flanks" Dieter Klose. Late night alpenglow adds a soft touch, however few peaks inspire the same mix of fear and respect as the Devil's Thumb. A relatively low altitude peak at 2,767 m (9,077 ft) the notorious northwest face rises 2,042 m (6,700 ft) from its base. With an average angle of 67 degrees it is considered the steepest wall of that magnitude in all of North America.
While the peak itself was first climbed by Fred Becky in 1946, the northwest face remains unclimbed after five decades of attempts by scores of climbers including some of the world’s top mountaineers. Most never even made it to the start of the face, while at least three teams have perished in the process. Dieter Klose who in 1982 made it halfway up the route, higher than anybody else alive, commented in the American Alpine journal that ‘as a rock climb it’s a perfect place to commit suicide”. The warm coastal winds, extreme Alaskan precipitation levels, and Patagonian style variability in weather all combine to make the conditions on the face notoriously slippery and prone to avalanche. A small theoretical climbing window is possible during the spring transition when storms can create thaw-freeze conditions and stabilise the face however many believe the level of weather variability is so extreme that it will never be climbed. No one has attempted the face since 2003 when two Canadian climbers perished.
The mountain was known as Taalkhunaxhkʼu Shaa in native Tlingit, which translates to the "the Mountain That Never Flooded". The thumb is located in the Stikine Icecap region of the Alaska–British Columbia border, near Petersburg, and is often simply identified as Boundary Peak 71 on survey maps.

This was a series of multidisciplinary collaborations, theoretical discussions/forums, design, modelling, performance and architecture workshops held simultaneously and open to the general public. The starting points were looking at art as an agent of social change and nexus-heart: human empathy and our relationships to each other.

Special:
- This first generation 2-door Coupé body Pony Car (1969-1974) was designed by Carl Cameron, built on the Chrysler E-platform (like the Plymouth Barracuda) and assembled in Hamtramck (Michigan) and in Los Angeles (California).
- Everything changed at Dodge (and all car manufacturers) when the 1973 oil crisis hit the United States. The government passed legislation (1972) requiring engines to have the ability to run on low lead or no lead gasoline. Government safety and emission regulations, and increasing insurance premiums meant the horsepower rating and size for all manufacturers was on the decline.
- Engine power was now rated in SAE net horsepower, meaning theoretical horsepower with all accessories in place.
- So this 2+2-seater fixed-head Hardtop Coupé was for now the last series Challenger, only available with two detuned V-8 engines.
- Dodge re-used the Challenger name again for its second generation Challenger from 1978 until 1983.
- They were available as this Hardtop Coupé and as 2-door Rallye Hardtop Coupé (replaced the R/T series in 1972) with a faux brake vent on the fenders and a shaker hood scoop (1972-1974: 16,437 units built).

Lawrence Krauss: "We are all Stardust" (youtube 0:36 Lawrence Krauss: theoretical physicist, cosmologist. One of the books he wrote: "The physics of Star Trek")
Quote: "Forget Jesus, the stars dyed that you are here today"
That is step one. The atoms the Earth is made of and also our bodies are made of stars that exploded, are from stars that have dyed.
Step two - sorry the next video is only in German - therefore an English summary: Estimation: in every human being there are about 20 millions atoms that are from Jesus. Assumed that Jesus has lived as a person. Although if one believes that Jesus` body ascented into heaven, nonetheless there are atoms that once belonged to his body still on earth, because everybody looses cells, hair, skin cells, nails etc. during his lifetime. These atoms during long time spread around the world - so everybody has atoms in his body that were former atoms in the bodies of other people and were part of plants, animals and objects, and also of Jesus (if he has lived as a person).
Science Busters: "Jesus Atome" (youtube 2:28)
Vorausgesetzt Jesus hat überhaupt als Person existiert, gelebt. Dann sind in Hostien genausoviele Atome von Jesus wie in der gleichen Menge Auer Baumstämme. !Aber: ein Atom bleibt exakt das gleiche egal wo überall es schon gewesen ist, es ändert nichts an einem Atom ob es nun mal in Jesus und in Mohammed und dann in Hitler und dann in einer weißen Lilie und dann in einer Waffel war, gegessen wurde und wieder ausgeschissen wurde, dann in einer Fliege war und dann in mir und dann in dir! Es hat keinerlei Einfluß auf Körper, Geist, Persönlichkeit, etc. wieviele Atome man von Jesus hat, wieviele von Hitler - Atom bleibt sozusagen Atom. Und auch umgekehrt: nur weil Atome von verstorbenen Tieren, Personen in mir sind, leben diese Personen, Tiere nicht durch mich, in mir, weiter genausowenig wie Jesus (falls es ihn gegeben hat) in mir weiterlebt, weil Atome, die einst Teil von Jesus waren in mir sind. Tot ist tot. Reliquien sind Überreste verstorbener Heiliger - wenn in mir Atome von Jesus sind warum bin ich keine Jesusreliquie und werde als Reliquie des Heiligen Antonius verehrt, und aller anderer Heiliger deren Atome in mir sind…
Part of: "Putting on Paper ~ zu Papier bringen" Auer Baumstämme - inspired by, angeregt durch, Hommage to: Eat Art von Daniel Spoerri // "Picture Puzzles Bilderrätsel Riddle Rebus Rätsel" Die Antwort auf die Zusatzfrage: in Hostien sind gleich viele Atome von Jesus wie in der gleichen Menge Auer Baumstämme // Fronleichnam: Fest des heiligsten Leibes und Blutes Christi Sollemnitas Sanctissimi Corporis et Sanguinis Christi - heilig heiliger heiligst - no to "some things and people count, most don`t" heilig, Fetisch, Anbetung von Reliquien - Immunisierung gegen Kritik - führt zu Verengung des Horizonts, Verengung der Weltsicht - Stichworte dazu auch: Echo-Kammer - führt zu Stillstand, Wiederholung anstatt Weiterentwicklung - - Kreativität ist keine Phase - - Argumentation, Diskussion, in Frage stellen, nicht abwehren wenn in Frage gestellt wird, auch nicht es nur aushalten, sondern darauf eingehen -- Kreativität ist keine Phase - Kreativität heißt nicht dasselbe immer wieder zu wiederholen - eine Idee zum x-ten Male wiederholen ist nicht eine Idee haben - und Bienenstöcke ob sie nun am Kahlenberg stehen (die hab ich 2015 fotografiert) oder am Zentralfriedhof und das hunderste beinahe gleiche Schnittmuster Herumgespiele mit Narrenturmbildern etc. bringt nichts Neues - dieselben Schritte wiederholen und zum selben Ergebnis kommen nur leichte Variationen und dem dann halt immer wieder einen ein bißl anderen Titel geben - das ist das Gegenteil von Ideen haben es ist eine einmal gehabte Idee wiederholen - ein exzellentes Beispiel dafür was Blockierern passiert - die Blockade blockt mehr sie selber als die Blockierte - wer schadenfreudig ist der lacht da vielleicht, lacht sich vielleicht ins Fäustchen, aber bevor man lacht über diesen Blockierer, sollte man doch noch einmal innehalten und bedenken: wer zuletzt lacht lacht am besten.

Dinamarca - Copenhague - Vistas desde la Rundetaarn (Torre Redonda)
***
www.visitcopenhagen.com/copenhagen/round-tower-gdk410741
ENGLISH:
The Rundetaarn, or Rundetårn (Round Tower in English), is a 17th-century tower located in central Copenhagen, Denmark. One of the many architectural projects of Christian IV, it was built as an astronomical observatory. It is most noted for its equestrian staircase, a 7.5-turn helical corridor leading to the top, and for the expansive views it affords over Copenhagen.
The tower is part of the Trinitatis Complex which also provided the scholars of the time with a university chapel, the Trinitatis Church, and an academic library which was the first purpose-built facilities of the Copenhagen University Library which had been founded in 1482.
Today the Round Tower serves as an observation tower for expansive views of Copenhagen, a public astronomical observatory and a historical monument. At the same time the Library Hall, located above the church and only accessible along the tower's ramp, is an active cultural venue with both exhibitions and a busy concert schedule.
The Round Tower is a cylindrical tower built in masonry of alternating yellow and red bricks, the colours of the Oldenburgs. The bricks used were manufactured in the Netherlands and are of a hard-burned, slender type known as muffer or mopper. On the rear side, it is attached to the Trinitatis Church, but it has never served as a church tower.
Steenwinckel — whose name is otherwise synonymous with Dutch Renaissance architecture in Denmark — with the Trinitatis Complex has left his signature style. Unlike his other buildings with their lavish ornamentations and extravagant spires, the complex is built to a focused and restrained design. Hans van Steenwinckel must have been up on the situation in Holland, cogniziant that the style which he had once learned from Hendrick de Keyser had been altogether abandoned.
The architects now setting the agenda in the Netherlands, masters such as Jacob van Kampen (Amsterdam City Hall), Pieter Post (Mauritshuis in the Hague) and Philip Vingboons, now favoured a style characterized by sobriety and restraint. It is now known as Dutch Baroque or sometimes Dutch Classicism. Its proponents often relied on the theoretical works such as those of Palladio and of Jacopo Barozzi da Vignola. Steenwinckel may have paid a visit to his native Netherlands prior to his change in style but it will have been too early for him to have seen any of the period's buildings realized.
Instead of stairs, a 7.5-turn spiral ramp forms the only access way to the towertop observatory as well as the Library Hall and the Bell-Ringer's Loft, both located above the church. The ramp turns 7.5 times around the hollow masonry core of the tower before reaching the observation deck and observatory at the top, on the way also affording access to the Library Hall as well as the Ringer's Loft. This design was chosen to allow a horse and carriage to reach the library, moving books in and out of the library as well as transporting heavy and sensitive instruments to the observatory.
The winding corridor has a length of 210 m, climbing 3.74 m per turn. Along the outer wall the corridor has a length of 257.5 m and a grade of 10%, while along the wall of the inner core the corridor is only 85.5 m long but has a grade of 33%.
The observation deck is located 34.8 m above street level. Along the edge of the platform runs a wrought-iron lattice made in 1643 by Kaspar Fincke, Court Artist in metalwork. In the latticework, Christian IV's monogram and the letters RFP are seen, the letters representing the King's motto: Regna Firmat Pietas – Piety strengthens the Realms.
The observatory is a small domed building, built on the roof of the tower. Built in 1929, the current observatory is 7 m high and has a diameter of 6 m. Access is by a narrow winding stone staircase from the observation deck.
On the upper part of the façade of the tower, there is a gilded rebus inscription. Christian IV's draft of it, written in his own hand writing, is kept at the Danish National Archives. The rebus includes the four Hebrew consonants of the Tetragrammaton. The rebus can be interpreted in the following way: Lead God, the right teaching and justice into the heart of the crowned King Christian IV, 1642.

ESPAÑOL:
La Rundetårn (en español: Torre Redonda) es una torre del siglo XVII ubicada en el centro de Copenhague, Dinamarca. Siendo uno de los numerosos proyectos arquitectónicos del rey Cristián IV, fue construida como observatorio astronómico. Es conocida por su pasillo helicoidal que recorre 7 vueltas y media antes de llegar a la parte más alta y por las amplias vistas panorámicas de la ciudad de Copenhague que ofrece.
La torre forma parte del Trinitatis Complex, que también estaba compuesto por una capilla universitaria, la Iglesia Trinitatis y una biblioteca universitaria, que fueron las primeras instalaciones construidas específicamente por la Biblioteca de la Universidad de Copenhague, fundada en 1482.
Actualmente, la Torre Redonda tiene la función de mirador, observatorio astronómico público y monumento histórico. Asimismo, en la Sala de la Biblioteca, que se encuentra por encima de la iglesia y a la cual solo se puede acceder a través de la rampa de la torre, se suelen exhibir exposiciones y celebrar conciertos.

Proof of the Nonlocality of a Light Cone’s Surface:
Consider a pair of entangled photons which travel in opposite directions from the origin in the x1, x2 plane.
No matter how far apart they travel, they will remain entangled, meaning that their two positions will define a nonlocality.
Now consider numerous entangled pairs of photons, wherein the two photons in each pair travel away from the origin in opposite directions.
Together, the positions of the photons in all the entangled pairs of photons will by and by define a circle of nonlocality as the number of pairs of photons approaches infinity.
Now consider a third axis which is time. Together, the positions of the photons in all the entangled pairs of photons will define a conical surface of nonlocality.
Ergo, the surface of a light cone is a nonlocality.
The surface of a light cone is thus nonlocal.

In 1963 Lorenz published a theoretical study of this effect in a highly cited, seminal paper called "Deterministic Nonperiodic Flow". Following suggestions from colleagues, in later speeches and papers he used the more poetic butterfly. Initially, he called it the seagull effect.
Lorenz discovered the effect when he observed that runs of his weather model with initial condition data that was rounded in a seemingly inconsequential manner would fail to reproduce the results of runs with the unrounded initial condition data. A very small change in initial conditions had created a significantly different outcome.

The theoretical part included several professors in peace theory, I'm sorry I can't remember their names, singers Lena Lovich and Nina Hagen (who arrived to the panel 25 mins. too late - she was a Diva!). The short concert after was fantastic, and as my longest lens was a 135 mm f/2.8 Nikkor, you can see how close you could get to the stars in the 80's.

J. Robert Oppenheimer, born on April 22, 1904, was an American theoretical physicist and professor of physics. He is predominantly known as the scientific director of the Manhattan Project, the research project that developed the atomic bomb during World War II. Oppenheimer played a crucial role in the design and development of the bomb and is often referred to as the "father of the atomic bomb."
Oppenheimer was born into a wealthy Jewish family and showed exceptional intelligence from a young age. He attended Harvard University where he excelled in physics and earned his Ph.D. from the University of Göttingen in Germany. After returning to the United States, he became a professor at the University of California, Berkeley.
During World War II, Oppenheimer was recruited to work on the top-secret Manhattan Project. He led a team of scientists in Los Alamos, New Mexico, where they successfully developed and tested the first atomic bomb. The successful testing of the bomb at the Trinity site in July 1945 marked a significant milestone in the history of science and warfare.
Despite his contribution to the development of the atomic bomb, Oppenheimer became increasingly concerned about the weapon's destructive potential. He was a vocal advocate for international control of atomic energy and opposed the further development of hydrogen bombs. However, his political views and associations with communist sympathizers during the 1930s and 1940s led to a government investigation known as the Oppenheimer security hearing. In 1954, his security clearance was revoked, plunging his career into uncertainty.
Following the security hearing, Oppenheimer focused more on teaching and continued to make significant contributions to theoretical physics and quantum mechanics. He became a professor at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, New Jersey, and was actively involved in promoting and guiding research in various scientific disciplines.
Oppenheimer's life and career were marked by complex personal and political struggles. He is remembered as one of the great scientists of the 20th century, but also as a controversial figure due to his involvement in the development of the atomic bomb and his subsequent political troubles.
The same question and answer in german:
J. Robert Oppenheimer war ein amerikanischer Physiker, der als einer der Hauptverantwortlichen für die Entwicklung der Atombombe während des Zweiten Weltkriegs bekannt ist. Er leitete das Manhattan-Projekt, das das Ziel hatte, eine funktionierende Atombombe zu entwickeln. Oppenheimer war bekannt für seine intellektuellen Fähigkeiten und galt als einer der führenden theoretischen Physiker seiner Zeit. Nach dem Krieg war er ein führender Vertreter der internationalen Abrüstungsbewegung und setzte sich für die Kontrolle von Atomwaffen ein. Aufgrund seiner früheren Beteiligung an der Atombombenentwicklung geriet er jedoch auch unter Verdacht, kommunistische Sympathien zu haben, und geriet deshalb in den 1950er Jahren ins Visier des FBI und des House Committee on Un-American Activities. Trotz der Vorwürfe blieb Oppenheimer eine respektierte Persönlichkeit in der wissenschaftlichen Gemeinschaft und war bis zu seinem Tod im Jahr 1967 weiterhin ein bedeutender Physiker und Berater der Regierung.

Since these are meant to be pertinent to my theoretical DC Cinematic Universe, I’ve decided to put some little briefs on the roles they’d play.
Eduardo Dorrance AKA Bane (Voiced but not played physically, by Danny Trejo) would be the main villain of the first Batman movie, which would be heavily inspired by the DCMAU movie ‘Son of Batman’, with Bane effectively taking the roll of Deathstroke, killing Ra’s al Ghul in the first scene, inciting the wrath of his grandson, Damian Wayne. Throughout the movie, camera tricks, masks and plot devices (AI, Damian pushing him onto a geyser of Lazarus Pit badness, causing him face burns and respiratory shenanigans) would be used to hide Bane’s mouth (specifically ‘dem sneaky ‘not Danny Trejo’ word-smackers). He wouldn’t be killed, with Damian, now Robin, sparing him in the final act as part of his arc. He is thrown in Arkham where he goes mad from Venom withdrawal.
Just a side note, the nature of venom would be altered. Unlike its purely scientific origins in the comics, in this movie Venom is a naturally occurring chemical with some supernatural connotations, in the same vain of the Lazarus Pit. It also doesn’t make him unrealistically beefy.
Studies in Berlin: Science, Torah & Quantum Theory
1928-1932
By Eli Rubin
Rabbi Menachem Mendel’s studies at Berlin’s Friedrich Wilhelm (Humboldt) University coincided with Erwin Schrödinger’s tenure as Professor of Theoretical Physics.
Many years later, in conversation with the American mathematician Paul Rosenbloom, the Rebbe recalled that he enjoyed Schrödinger’s lectures very much.
During this period Schrödinger was embroiled in a debate with other leading physicists over how to interpret the counterintuitive and paradoxical findings of quantum mechanics. Light was found to behave like particles and like waves, depending on the kind of experiment set up to observe its behavior.
According to Werner Heisenberg, this showed that objective reality is actually an indeterminate spectrum of possibilities; only subjective observation forces any one of those possibilities to materialize. Schrödinger disagreed. The indeterminate findings of quantum mechanics, he asserted, simply mirrored the incompleteness of the current theory.
In conversation with the American mathematician Paul Rosenbloom, the Rebbe recalled that he enjoyed Schrödinger’s lectures very much.“There is a difference,” he wrote, “between a shaky or out-of-focus photograph and a snapshot of clouds and fog banks.”
Albert Einstein, who was also on the faculty in Berlin at the time, but didn’t teach, shared Schrödinger’s concerns. It was his correspondence with Einstein that helped Schrödinger formulate the cat thought (gedanken) experiment to demonstrate the absurdity of Heisenberg’s position.
Heisenberg’s “uncertainty principle” can be interpreted in various ways and has been supplemented with various theories, leaving the discussion open until today.
Together with Einstein’s theory of relativity, according to which phenomena can no longer be measured in absolute terms, the uncertainty principle thoroughly undermines the classical notion that the empirical observations of science can provide a precise account of objective truth.
The Rebbe’s position, formulated in various letters over the years, might be seen as a mediation between the two poles articulated by Heisenberg and Schrödinger. But more importantly, it constitutes a mediation between science and religion. The Rebbe accepted the uncertainty principle as a scientific self-description of the limits of scientific investigation, but not as a conclusive statement about the nature of reality. This position rested on his surprising assertion that the Torah view of science is actually “at variance” with science's newfound self-circumscription:
“Where in the past scientific conclusions were considered as natural ‘laws’ in the strict sense of the term, i.e. determined and certain, modern science no longer holds this view. Parenthetically, this view is at variance with the concept of nature and our own knowledge of it (science) as espoused by the Torah, since the idea of miracles implies a change in a fixed order and not the occurrence of a least probable event.”
The Torah perspective is predicated on divine revelation, which asserts a foundation of absolute certainty. In contrast, scientific scrutiny of its own foundations "The Halacha accepts scientific findings, in many instances, not as possible or probable, but certain and true..." arrived at the uncertainty principle, generally regarded as the best candidate for a universal description of the physical world. For the Rebbe, this did not undermine the legitimacy of science but rather crystallized the terms of its relationship to Torah. In his view, the assumption that science should dictate those terms was fundamentally flawed. On the contrary, it was only by virtue of Torah’s authority that science too could be endowed with a measure of certainty:
“As a matter of fact, the Torah bestows upon science - in certain areas at least - a validity much greater than contemporary science itself claims. The Halacha accepts scientific findings, in many instances, not as possible or probable, but certain and true... In the light of what has been said above... modern science cannot legitimately (and I mean ‘legitimately’ even from the viewpoint of science itself) challenge Torah from Sinai.”
Accordingly, the Rebbe insisted that a religious Jew, even a professional scientist, should not have any qualms about accepting a literal reading of the Torah’s description of creation, or any other Torah deviation from commonly accepted scientific theory.
The developments in quantum theory during the years that the Rebbe was in Berlin deeply impacted his perception of the relationship between Torah and science. In a 1962 interview with the Israeli journalist Shlomo Nakdimon the Rebbe remarked:
"The discoveries in the laws of atoms shake up the very foundations according to which science worked until now. Until now, they said science is stable, but Torah is no more than belief. Now we see that the premises of science and technology do not have lasting truth. These revelations were made specifically through the study of the atom….”
The scientific method is an excellent tool in the hands of humanity, but none of its hypotheses such as "The discoveries in the laws of atoms shake up the very foundations according to which science worked until now." warrant apologetic reinterpretation of the Divine word. Such apologetics were characterized by the Rebbe as “the outmoded legacy of the 19th century and before.”
It was precisely the advances made by modern science that rendered them obsolete. With the old confusions cleared up, he argued, Torah and science are today free to progress in collaborative harmony.
The function of Torah, and especially Chassidism, is to reveal the unity of G‑d in the world. Previously, scientists thought that the universe was composed of many different elements, but modern science reduces everything to the union of energy and matter. Science itself, the Rebbe said, is discovering the underlying unity of all existence.
