TODO: does old Newtonian gravity give different force results than general relativity?

Lower case looks like the mouth shape when you say Z, with mouth open, and you can even see the little tongue going down. Beauty.
The Final Encyclopedia (Paul Allen) Updated 2025-07-16
The Google Story Chapter 21. A Virtual Library mentions that Paul Allen was interested in trying to create something like the "Final Encyclopedia" from this book. This is somewhat the same motivation for Google Books and Google's activities more broadly, as shown in their organise the world's information mission statement.

Microscope Project (YouTube channel) Updated 2025-07-16
As of 2022, this channel is still finding its feet. But it has promise.
Unfortunately it does not show sample preparation, and it does not use controlled cultures, so we are never sure which species are represented.

Quadratic form Updated 2025-07-16
Multivariate polynomial where each term has degree 2, e.g.:
is a quadratic form because each term has degree 2:
but e.g.:
is not because the term has degree 3.
More generally for any number of variables it can be written as:
There is a 1-to-1 relationship between quadratic forms and symmetric bilinear forms. In matrix representation, this can be written as:
where contains each of the variabes of the form, e.g. for 2 variables:
Strictly speaking, the associated bilinear form would not need to be a symmetric bilinear form, at least for the real numbers or complex numbers which are commutative. E.g.:
But that same matrix could also be written in symmetric form as:
so why not I guess, its simpler/more restricted.
