There are only two pre-requisites to using Haskell in 2020. You have to be an idealist. And you have to be a genius:

Based on the $L_x$,$L_y$ and $L_z$ derived at Lie algebra of $SO(3)$ we can calculate the Lie bracket as:

TODO is there any relationship between this and the Josephson effect?

Experimental observation published as Experimental Evidence for Quantized Flux in Superconducting Cylinders.

This appears to happen to any superconducting loop, because the superconducting wave function has to be continuous.

Video "Superconducting Qubit by NTT SCL (2015)" suggests that anything in between gets cancelled out by a superposition of current in both directions.

Current Wikipedia seems to say that this refers specifically to cells taking up DNA from other dead cells as in the Avery-MacLeod-McCarty experiment, excluding other types of horizontal gene transfer like bacterial conjugation

The term is sometimes just used a synonym for horizontal gene transfer in general it seems however.

One is reminded of Nick Leeson.

This section discusses the pre-photon understanding of the polarization of light. For the photon one see: photon polarization.

polarization.com/history/history.html is a good page.

People were a bit confused when experiments started to show that light might be polarized. How could a wave that propages through a 3D homgenous material like luminiferous aether have polarization?? Light would presumably be understood to be analogous to a sound wave in 3D medium, which cannot have polarization. This was before Maxwell's equations, in the early 19th century, so there was no way to know.
