...Island is not Purgatory,” he said in response to a wildly popular theory among viewers. “I keep telling people it’s not, but they don’t seem to believe me. People try to assume there is one central theorem but it’s not that simple.”“Simple” is not a word that could be used to describe “Lost.” “There was an overarching mythology that existed before the series started...
...logarithms, Schneider replaced the standard twelve-tone octave with a new set of frequencies. According to Schneider, “music theory in this scale has not yet been worked out.” The results are two 30-40 second songs enticingly called “Non-Pythagorean Theorem Compositions.” As far as I can tell, these tracks (as well as the other eight sub-minute songs on the album) sound basically like a five year old stepping on a Casio keyboard. The band’s website claims that these sounds were made using...
...Atiyah is a British mathematician who made field-changing discoveries in string theory and superspace beginning over four decades ago. After winning the Fields Medal in 1966 for his work on topological K-Theory, Atiyah continued to revolutionize mathematical subfields, including geometry and theoretical physics. The Atiyah-Singer Index Theorem, which he developed with MIT’s Isadore M. Singer, earned the duo the 2004 Abel Prize, given by the Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters...
...would I believe it?” exclaimed a friend of mine.Such a skeptical attitude is understandable, as it is nurtured in academia. After all, students of science conduct experiments and rely on the results in order to prove their findings; mathematicians use deductive logic to prove their theorems; humanities majors strive to include supporting evidence in their essays . Since our minds are trained from a young age to require evidence, proof, and arguments before accepting a concept, theorem, or idea as legitimate, it is natural and expected that we employ this method when addressing matters of religion. While...
...also had long-standing and successful collaborations with other eminent mathematicians, producing, among others, the Atiyah-Bott fixed-point theorem concerning fixed points on mathematical maps, and the Borel-Weil-Bott theorem, which had a large influence on representation theory...
