Strangeness Minus Three (BBC Horizon 1964)
Source. Basically shows Richard Feynman 15 minutes on a blackboard explaining the experimental basis of the eightfold way really well, while at the same time hyperactively moving all over. The word symmetry gets tossed a few times. E Ink Updated 2025-07-16
Electronic Ink such as that found on Amazon Kindle is the greatest invention ever made by man.
Once E Ink reaches reasonable refresh rates to replace liquid crystal displays, the world will finally be saved.
It would allow Ciro Santilli to spend his entire life in front of a screen rather in the real world without getting tired eyes, and even if it is sunny outside.
Ciro stopped reading non-code non-news a while back though, so the current refresh rates are useless, what a shame.
OMG, this is amazing: getfreewrite.com/

The Wikipedia page of this article is basically a masterclass why Wikipedia is useless for learning technical subjects. They are not even able to teach such a simple subject properly there!

- www.maths.cam.ac.uk/postgrad/part-iii/files/misc/index-notation.pdf gives a definition that does not consider upper and lower indexes, it only counts how many times the indices appearTheir definition of the Laplacian is a bit wrong as only one appears in it, they likely meant to have written instead of , related:
Einstein notation for partial derivatives Updated 2025-07-16
The Einstein summation convention works will with partial derivatives and it is widely used in particle physics.
In particular, the divergence and the Laplacian can be succinctly expressed in this notation:
In order to express partial derivatives, we must use what Ciro Santilli calls the "partial index partial derivative notation", which refers to variables with indices such as , , , , and instead of the usual letters , and .

In the context of Maxwell's equations, it is vector field that is one of the inputs of the equation.
Section "Maxwell's equations with pointlike particles" asks if the theory would work for pointlike particles in order to predict the evolution of this field as part of the equations themselves rather than as an external element.

As of the 20th century, this can be described well as "the phenomena described by Maxwell's equations".
Back through its history however, that was not at all clear. This highlights how big of an achievement Maxwell's equations are.

Our minimal definition of "electronic money" is the following.
Instead of creating legal tender such as Dollars as banknotes or transactions in some complex obscure banking system, the government offers an official simple centralized API that represents it instead.
Each citizen or legal entity has an account there, and transfers between registered users are just simple API calls.

- youtu.be/eYVOdlK15Og?t=66 RC oscillator on breadboard. Produces rectangular wave. Mentions popular integrated circuit that does it: 555 timer IC.
- youtu.be/eYVOdlK15Og?t=175 LC oscillators allows for higher frequencies. Produces sinusoidal output on MHz range. Uses an amplifier to feed back into input and maintain same voltage. Hard to make reliably on breadboard.
- youtu.be/eYVOdlK15Og?t=315 crystal oscillator. Mentions it acts like an LC oscillators. Shows and equivalent model. Wish he had talked more about them. You need support components around it: similarly to the LC case, the amplifier is generally not packaged in.
