The people who own Apple? Here's one, he's a surf-bum who lives in Hawaii and does theoretical physics. He's actually quite good at it too. See https://deferentialgeometry.org/


 
On exotic solutions to the Einstein equations (Goedel's rotatating universe with closed time-like curves): Whilst listening to Curt's interview with Julian Barbour the other day, and thinking about Newton's bucket and Mach's principle, I came across this paper from the Romanian Journal of Physics in 2006: Modeling the Electric and Magnetic Fields in a Rotating Universe by Brindusa Ciobanu and Irina Radinschi.

Julian Barbour was the person who first coined the term "Relational" with regard to ineterpretations of physical theories. See Relational Concepts of Space and Time by Julian B. Barbour published in The British Journal for the Philosophy of Science Vol. 33, No. 3 (Sep., 1982).

... 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, ...

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 Illinois. Did
