SARNEGARTH: buu, spojeni se serverem nebylo navazano... muzes to soupnout treba na leteckou postu nebo tak neco? diky

kdyz uz o gell-mannovi, narazil sem na takovej hezkej spek o ignorantstvi ;)

Gell-Mann himself, by his own admission,
should have predicted the omega minus a year or two before he did, but
his own arrogance about pure mathematics and, yes, Lie Groups, prevented
him from asking about them. Essentially he was trying to discover the
eight-dimensional irreducible representation of the group SU(3) by
himself by playing with matrices, but failed (these groups had long ago
been classified by mathematicians like Eli Cartan). His excuse was that
he was in Paris at the time, and in a constant state of
semi-drunkenness. It was only after he got back to California, and
unfermented fruit juice, that he thought to ask a mathematician...

He could have known about Lie groups earlier, since I believe he was
present at Guilio Racah's famous lectures on group theory and
spectroscopy at the Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton. I think
his excuse for this was he couldn't understand's Racah's "Yiddish
accent." (Racah, an Italian Jew, who didn't know Yiddish any more than
Gell-Man, was the head of the Hebrew University's department of
physics.)

So we have the intolerance chain: physicists are intolerant of pure
mathematicians who are intolerant of f.o.m. And philosophy often is at
the receiving end also (though almost invariably it's "the philosophy I
don't like" which is referred to by the word "philosophy").

Dneska mi konecne dosla tato uzasna knizka.

Zatim jsem ji jenom zbezne prolistoval a vypada fakt moc dobre. V kazdy kapitole jsou strankovy medailonky o nejakym fyzikovi, v kterych jsou dost zajimavy bulvarni informace (jak si Gell-Mann udelal brutalni prdel z Dicka, jak Gell-Mann probihal sklonenou hlavou volierou, atd. :)).

Jeste se tu o ty knizce asi zminim. :)

Legendarni hack trezoru :)

Na Slashodtu se opet resi chujoviny.:) Dva lidi napadlo, ze prilakat spunty ke vede skrz Dicka muze bejt dobrej napad, haha.

MIKEE: Imho nedavaj. Sem se neozval, pac by to na hromadnou slevu v tomhle klubu stejne nebylo. :) Ten obrazek ti muzu poslat, to je vlastne vse co potrebujes. :)

WENCA: vyborny, do toho bych taky sel, mel jsi se ozvat, nedavaj nejakou hromadnou slevu? :]

Jee, Nash a Feynman spolu. A navic je to vtipny. :)

Dneska mi konecne dorazilo triko, ktere jsem si ve spolupraci s www.itriko.cz zrobil. :)

Feynman got from the door to the buffet table by taking every possible path

:DD

me zaujalo tohle...

God was invented to explain mystery. God is always invented to explain those things that you do not understand. Now, when you finally discover how something works, you get some laws which you're taking away from God; you don't need him anymore. But you need him for the other mysteries. So therefore you leave him to create the universe because we haven't figured that out yet; you need him for understanding those things which you don't believe the laws will explain, such as consciousness, or why you only live to a certain length of time — life and death — stuff like that. God is always associated with those things that you do not understand. Therefore I don't think that the laws can be considered to be like God because they have been figured out.
