The term "Timeless characters" can refer to characters that have enduring appeal and resonate across different generations, often found in literature, film, television, or other forms of storytelling. Here’s a general list of such characters, recognized for their timeless qualities: 1. **Sherlock Holmes** - The brilliant detective created by Arthur Conan Doyle, known for his keen observation and deductive reasoning.
"Kepler" is a novel by the German author and playwright Ewald Arenz. The book, published in 2020, is a fictionalized account of the life of the renowned astronomer and mathematician Johannes Kepler, who is famous for his laws of planetary motion and contributions to the scientific revolution. The novel presents Kepler's struggles, both personal and professional, as he faces challenges in a time of significant religious and scientific upheaval in the late Renaissance.
"Discoveries" by Ernesto Guido is a book that explores various themes related to knowledge, exploration, and the human experience. The work delves into the nature of discovery itself, examining how individuals and cultures encounter new ideas, inventions, and perspectives. Through a combination of personal anecdotes, philosophical insights, and illustrative examples, Guido reflects on how discoveries shape our understanding of the world and influence our lives.
"Die Harmonie der Welt" (The Harmony of the World) is an opera in three acts by the German composer Paul Hindemith. It was first performed in 1952. The opera is based on the life and work of the astronomer Johannes Kepler, focusing on his quest to understand the universe through the mathematical relationships of celestial bodies.
The Busy beaver scale allows us to gauge the difficulty of proving certain (yet unproven!) mathematical conjectures!
To to this, people have reduced certain mathematical problems to deciding the halting problem of a specific Turing machine.
A good example is perhaps the Goldbach's conjecture. We just make a Turing machine that successively checks for each even number of it is a sum of two primes by naively looping down and trying every possible pair. Let the machine halt if the check fails. So this machine halts iff the Goldbach's conjecture is false! See also Conjecture reduction to a halting problem.
Therefore, if we were able to compute , we would be able to prove those conjectures automatically, by letting the machine run up to , and if it hadn't halted by then, we would know that it would never halt.
Of course, in practice, is generally uncomputable, so we will never know it. And furthermore, even if it were computable, it would take a lot longer than the age of the universe to compute any of it, so it would be useless.
However, philosophically speaking at least, the number of states of the equivalent Turing machine gives us a philosophical idea of the complexity of the problem.
The busy beaver scale is likely mostly useless, since we are able to prove that many non-trivial Turing machines do halt, often by reducing problems to simpler known cases. But still, it is cute.
But maybe, just maybe, reduction to Turing machine form could be useful. E.g. The Busy Beaver Challenge and other attempts to solve BB(5) have come up with large number of automated (usually parametrized up to a certain threshold) Turing machine decider programs that automatically determine if certain (often large numbers of) Turing machines run forever.
So it it not impossible that after some reduction to a standard Turing machine form, some conjecture just gets automatically brute-forced by one of the deciders, this is a path to
"Take Aim" can refer to various concepts, depending on the context. Here are a few possibilities: 1. **General Meaning**: The phrase "take aim" typically means to direct one's focus or intention towards a specific goal or target. It can be used in both literal contexts (like aiming a weapon) and metaphorical contexts (like setting personal goals).

Welcome to the OurBigBook Project! Our goal is to create the perfect publishing platform for STEM subjects, and get university-level students to write the best free STEM tutorials ever.
Everyone is welcome to create an account and play with the site: ourbigbook.com/go/register. We belive that students themselves can write amazing tutorials, but teachers are welcome too. You can write about anything you want, it doesn't have to be STEM or even educational. Silly test content is very welcome and you won't be penalized in any way. Just keep it legal!
Intro to OurBigBook
. Source. We have two killer features:
- topics: topics group articles by different users with the same title, e.g. here is the topic for the "Fundamental Theorem of Calculus" ourbigbook.com/go/topic/fundamental-theorem-of-calculusArticles of different users are sorted by upvote within each article page. This feature is a bit like:
- a Wikipedia where each user can have their own version of each article
- a Q&A website like Stack Overflow, where multiple people can give their views on a given topic, and the best ones are sorted by upvote. Except you don't need to wait for someone to ask first, and any topic goes, no matter how narrow or broad
This feature makes it possible for readers to find better explanations of any topic created by other writers. And it allows writers to create an explanation in a place that readers might actually find it.Figure 1. Screenshot of the "Derivative" topic page.
