The fact that ATP is the universal energy storage mollecule of all life on Earth is such an incredible unifying principle of biology!

It is the direct output of all the major forms of "energy generation" in cells: ATP synthesis mechanism.

It is just as fundamental as the genetic code for example.

No wonder dozens of Nobel Prizes were related to its discovery, given its complexity.

Chordate is a sad clade.

You read the name and think: hmm, neural cords!

But then you see that his is one of its members:

Yup. That's your cousin. And it's a much closer cousin than something like arthropods, which at least have heads eyes and legs like you.

Convergent evolution is crazy!

They have been masters of second sourcing things for a long time! One can ony imagine the complexity of the Intel cross licensing deals.

2020-so-far yes, Grover's algorithm would only effectively reduce key sizes by half:but there isn't a mathematical proof either.

This is a neologism by Ciro Santilli, it refers to the fact that Zatoichi was not fully blind, but extremely hard of sight, which makes him:and metaphorically refers to similar situations where a person or group of people are in the middle of two groups and not part of either of them.

A related thing that comes to mind is Aum Shinrikyo's Prophet Shoko Asahara, who was semi blind, and would bully the fully blind people of his school for blind people.

Subgroup of the Poincaré group without translations. Therefore, in those, the spacetime origin is always fixed.

Or in other words, it is as if two observers had their space and time origins at the exact same place. However, their space axes may be rotated, and one may be at a relative speed to the other to create a Lorentz boost. Note however that if they are at relative speeds to one another, then their axes will immediately stop being at the same location in the next moment of time, so things are only valid infinitesimally in that case.

This group is made up of matrix multiplication alone, no need to add the offset vector: space rotations and Lorentz boost only spin around and bend things around the origin.

One definition: set of all 4x4 matrices that keep the Minkowski inner product, mentioned at Physics from Symmetry by Jakob Schwichtenberg (2015) page 63. This then implies:

Mentioned at: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phase_transition#Modern_classifications

The more familiar transitions we are familiar with like liquid water into solid water happen at constant temperature.

However, other types of phase transitions we are less familiar in our daily lives happen across a continuum of such "state variables", notably:

A concise to describe a specific permutation.

A permutation group can then be described in terms of the generating set of a group of specific elements given in cycle notation.

E.g. en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Mathieu_group&oldid=1034060469#Permutation_groups mentions that the Mathieu group $M_{11}$ is generated by three elements:which feels quite compact for a simple group with 95040 elements, doesn't it!

These videos can give some geometric insight and do have their value.

But they are sometimes too slow, there are never any mention of experiments, just "the truth".

And when things get "mathy", it sticks to a more qualitative view which may not be enough.

Very over the top with sexy demons and angels making appearances, and has some classic aesthetic artistic value :-)

Most important application: produce X-rays for X-ray crystallography.

Note however that the big experiments at CERN, like the Large Hadron Collider, are also synchrotrons.

Education has become an expensive bureaucratic exercise, completely dissociated from reality and usefulness.

It completely rejects what the individual wants to achieve, and instead attempts to mass homogenize and test people through endless hours of boredom.

And the only goals it achieves are testing student's resilience to stress, and facilitating the finding of sexual partners. True learning is completely absent.

Teachers only teach because they have to do it to get paid, not for passion. Their only true incentive is co-authoring papers.

We reject this bullshit.

Education is meant to help us, the students, achieve our goals through passionate learning.

And, we, the students, are individuals, with different goals and capabilities.

The way we protest is to publish the knowledge from University for free, on the Internet, so that anyone can access it.

And we do this is a law-abiding way, without copyright infringement, so that no one can legally take it down.

We come to our courses just for the useless roll calls. But we already know all the subject better than the "teacher" on the very first day.

And we are already more famous than the "teacher" online, and through the Internet have already taught more way way more people than they ever will.

The effect of this is to demoralize the entire school system at all levels, until only one conclusion is possible: implosion.

And from the ashes of the old system, we will build a new one, which does only what matters with absolute efficiency: help the individual students achieve their goals.

A system in which the only reason why university exist will be to allow the most knowledgeable students to access million dollar laboratory equipment, and to pay the most prolific content creators so they can continue content creating.

No more useless courses. No more useless tests. Only passion, usefulness and focus.

It would be really cool to have a PageRank-link algorithm that answers the key questions:However, Ciro has decided to leave this for phase two action plan, because it is impossible to tune such an algorithm if you have no users or test data.

Perhaps it is also worth looking into ExpertRank, they appear to do some kind of "expert in this area", but with clustering (unlike us, where the clustering would be more explicit).
