Janet on Physics

Then I thought about Roger Penrose and his Twistor Theory. See Curt Jaimungal Talking With Roger Penrose and Sabine Hossenfelder on Physics Funding in Academia:


I looked it up and the original EPR experiment (1934) supposed that two particles were emitted from one source with opposite momenta, and then observers A and B could choose whether to measure position or momentum, and in either case would be able to infer the opposite of the other particle, independently of what the other observer had chosen to measure. The variant invented by Bohm (1951) was an electron-positron pair with opposite spins. In this the source of the particles is something in a "spin singlet" state, where the particles' net angular momentum is zero. See Wikipedia article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singlet_state

In a "Bohr-type model" atom the Azimuthal Quantum Number is supposed to determine the angular momentum for an electron in a given orbital. For an individual electron, however "Due to the spin–orbit interaction in an atom, the orbital angular momentum no longer commutes with the Hamiltonian, nor does the spin. These therefore change over time." See Wikipedia article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Azimuthal_quantum_number

So maybe in this case is the T-symmetry that is part of the system. There is an anecdote of a telephone conversation between Richard Feynman and John Wheeler (1940) where they were talking about how odd it is that all electrons are identical, and so are all positrons, and Wheeler said something like "Maybe they're the same thing, just the electrons are going backwards in time?" I forget where I read this. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One-electron_universe

Then I watched Janet modeling Tango dancers:

... and his posterity too? See  On Communication in Linear Time And Hypertext And The Gospel of Sophia . So it looks like El Cielo of the cistine [sic!😂] chapel is not the limit anymore.  I think I just met one of his descendents. A guy called Versailles Toledo who is from Chiapas. That might explain the murals I mention in my recent untitled post , just before the post mentioning this video. I also just took this photo of Rafael Gonzales, born here in Tecate, B.C., who told me about a spring near here called Agua Fría , half way from Tecate to Loma Tova , where, a few decades ago, people used to go to have barbecues and stuff, but now he thinks it may be private land. If someone reading this has a Facebook account, please write a link to this post onto his FB page. To see why I took the photo, look at his T-shirt and the horse-shoes and ponder this: Subscribe to BeatrizER and her video(s?) about mathematical logic, ...

David Turner Obituary by Sarah Nicholas Fri 24 Nov 2023

This was in The Guardian: David Turner obituary , only eight days after I posted  David Turner Talking About Sixty Years of Functional Programming History : This talk was given in London in 2017: See  Turner, D. A. "Some History of Functional Programming Languages" also  John Hughes - Why Functional Programming Matters  and David MacQueen's talk at ICFP 2015 in  Numberphile - Sophie Maclean on the Catalan Numbers . At 10:30 This whole discussion abut combinator reduction is especially interesting. I didn't know Arthur Norman had tried building hardware for combinator machines. I'll look that up: maybe start here A.C. Norman  Faster combinator reduction using stock hardware  in LFP '88: Proceedings of the 1988 ACM conference on LISP and functional programming. At 26:25 on the ISWIM virtual machine implemented in the PAL compacting garbage collector?! This work Reynolds and others did was at MIT in Masecheusetts and Argonne National Laboratory ...
