Toby Reading Martin Garder's Sixth book of Mathematical Games from Scientific American


Toby's video is on her Patreon page.

He talks about Ivan Bell's 1960 response to Project Ozma, a precursor of the SETI programme to search for radio broadcasts from extra-terrestrial civilizations. See Martin Gardner's Sixth book of mathematical games from Scientific American.


Gardner also mentions Hélène Smith’s story narrated in From India to the Planet Mars: A Study of a Case of Somnambulism with Glossolalia by the Swiss psychologist, Théodore Flournoy (1854-1921) who taught at the University of Geneva.  See From India to Mars: A Swiss shop girl's many lives. This reminded me of the amazing CIA Project Stargate from the late seventies and early eighties where they used remote viewers to explore Mars around the time of one million years BC. See https://www.cia.gov/readingroom/document/cia-rdp96-00788r001900760001-9. Gardner's column must have been written around 1964/5, at the time of the NASA Mariner IV mission to Mars.

A derivative is linearisation, and differential calculus is essentially linear algebra, ...  See  Freya Holmér - Why Can't You Multiply Vectors?  and  Freya Holmér on Continuity of Splines .

... 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, ...
