Indian vegetarian thali is the best thing ever! The Southern version in particular. Also do watch a video on how to eat it.

A good place to have it abroad is Saravana Bhavan. The founder killed a dude to marry his wife, but failed and was sentenced to life prison. But he died in 2019 so we're all fine eating there now.

Small microscopic visible particles move randomly around in water.

If water were continuous, this shouldn't happen. Therefore this serves as one important evidence of atomic theory.

The amount it moves also quantitatively matches with the expected properties of water and the floating particles, was was settled in 1905 by Einstein at: investigations on the theory of the Brownian movement by Einstein (1905).

This suggestion that Brownian motion comes from the movement of atoms had been made much before Einstein however, and passed tortuous discussions. Subtle is the Lord by Abraham Pais (1982) page 93 explains it well. There had already been infinite discussion on possible causes of those movements besides atomic theory, and many ideas were rejected as incompatible with observations:The first suggestions of atomic theory were from the 1860s.

Tiny uniform plastic beads called "microbeads" are the preferred 2019 modern method of doing this: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microbead

Original well known observation in 1827 by Brown, with further experiments and interpretation in 1908 by Jean Baptiste Perrin. Possible precursor observation in 1785 by Jan Ingenhousz, not sure why he wasn't credited better.

This was Ciro Santilli's main study/work music for several years around 2020. Tabla rules.

Johannes Martin Bijvoet (1894-1971) was a Dutch chemist known for his significant contributions to the field of crystallography, particularly in the development of methods to determine the structure of complex organic molecules. He is perhaps best known for his work in X-ray crystallography and for his contributions to the study of stereochemistry, including the Bijvoet polymorph, which is a type of crystalline form related to the study of molecular chirality.

Fan Haifu (范海福) is a Chinese composer and musician known for his contributions to film and television scores, as well as traditional Chinese music. He has gained recognition for his ability to blend modern musical techniques with classical Chinese elements, creating a unique sound.

Hartmut Bärnighausen is a prominent figure known for his work in public health and global health research. He is affiliated with institutions such as the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, where he focuses on areas like health systems, health policy, and the evaluation of health interventions, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. His research often emphasizes the importance of health equity and the social determinants of health.

Helen Megaw is an accomplished scientist known for her contributions to materials science and crystallography. She has been involved in research related to the properties and structures of various materials, particularly in the context of mineralogy and the study of crystalline substances. Megaw's work has significantly contributed to our understanding of the relationships between crystal structures and their physical properties. In addition to her research, she is also recognized for her role in academia, particularly in mentoring students and contributing to scientific education.

Jacques Mering is likely a reference to a French mathematician known for his work in the field of mathematics, particularly in the areas of analysis and number theory.

Johann Reinhard Blum was a notable German painter and graphic artist, born in 1803 and active in the 19th century. He is primarily known for his landscapes and historical scenes, typical of the Romantic style prevalent during that time. Blum's works often reflect a deep appreciation for nature, emotional depth, and an interest in depicting the sublime aspects of the environment.

Paul Niggli (1888–1953) was a prominent Swiss chemist known for his work in the field of crystallography and the study of molecular structures. He made significant contributions to the understanding of crystal lattices and the arrangement of atoms within crystals. His research played a critical role in the development of X-ray crystallography as a technique to determine the structure of complex molecules, which has had a profound impact on fields such as chemistry, materials science, and biology.

Stephen Neidle is a prominent chemist known for his work in the field of molecular and structural biology, particularly in the study of DNA and its potential applications in medicine. He has made significant contributions to the understanding of DNA topology and the development of small molecules that can target and interact with DNA structures, such as G-quadruplexes, which are four-stranded configurations of DNA that play important roles in gene regulation and cellular processes.

The British Crystallographic Association (BCA) is a professional organization dedicated to promoting the study and application of crystallography, a branch of science that deals with the arrangement of atoms in crystalline solids. Established in 1948, the BCA serves as a forum for researchers, educators, and practitioners in the field of crystallography, supporting collaboration and communication among its members. The association organizes conferences, workshops, and training programs to facilitate sharing of knowledge and advancements in crystallographic techniques and applications.
