Felix Klein lectured “On Hilbert’s first note on the foundations of physics" at the Mathematical Society of Göttingen #OTD in 1918. He included excerpts from letters in which he and Hilbert give priority to Emmy Noether’s results on conservation of energy in general relativity. (1/n) 🧪 ⚛️ 👩‍🔬

A digital rendering of a nebula with a striking heart shape, illuminated by vibrant gold and orange hues at its core, encircled by ethereal blue and teal gases. Scattered throughout are numerous sparkling stars, adding depth and a sense of cosmic wonder. This astrophysical marvel serves as a stunning representation of stellar formation, revealing the intricate processes unfolding in space.

We possess the technology to create products that nearly never break. We were doing it in the 70's & 80's. Then came 'planned obsolescence' - intentionally designing products to become obsolete or break quickly within a set time frame. This is that- but in reverse.

Hard agree. Teaching middle school writing is hard. It can feel like you’re in a hole you can’t get out of and maybe shortcuts would be better or at least easier. To borrow a math phrase: Nix the tricks. Give them the foundation they need to be successful writers and readers. AI ain’t it.

eight hundreds, five tens and six ones represented as circles with area proportional to their value.

two of the hundreds are 3/4 shaded in, one is one half shaded and one of a fourth shaded. Four of the tens are three fourths shaded and two of the ones are half shaded.

The objective is to find the total. Hint: it is not 856.

This is exactly why they want to abolish the department of education. We will see a full on war against education at all levels.

This image displays a hypothetical U.S. electoral map showing the distribution of electoral votes if only non-college-educated white voters participated. The results indicate:

Kamala Harris: 80 electoral votes, 25,192,071 votes (36.0% of the popular vote).

Donald Trump: 458 electoral votes, 43,470,493 votes (62.2% of the popular vote).

The map uses blue to represent states won by Harris and red to represent states won by Trump. Each state is labeled with its respective electoral vote count.
