To fairly cut a cake to share between 2 people:

  • One person cuts the cake
  • Second person chooses their. slice

How do you cut a cake to share between 3 people? ๐Ÿค”

Google is your friend here, but I always found this problem fascinating. There are a number of solutions, both mathematical and philosophical.

My latest binge watch is the 1997 Canadian series Stargate SG-1 after I accidentally saw the black hole swallowing the planet episode off-air at a friend's place.

It ran 10 years and spawned 2 sequel series and some specials.

Once you get over how every alien planet looks like British Columbia and I guess the Earth vegetation got transplanted with all the humans, huh, it's not a bad watch.

Good cast, reasonable production values for the era, more consistent writing than most shows: recommend.

What time is the solar eclipse?

Xitter: Why are the woke people trying to stop you looking directly at the Sun? What is it that they're hiding from us? The Sun isn't millions of miles away, everyone knows that. It's safe to stare at the Sun. I do it all the time.

Mastodon: St Mary's University Burke-Gaffney Observatory will have solar telescopes set up in the football field and will have a limited supply of eclipse viewing glasses available between 3:30 PM and 5:45 PM.

Voilร .

What did Einstein do after discovering general relativity in 1915? Sit around and complain about the Lord playing dice with the universe? Not quite:

  1. In 1916 he showed his theory predicts gravitational waves, whose existence was first confirmed in 1974.

  2. In 1917 he introduced what we now call "dark energy", whose existence was first confirmed in 1998.

  3. In 1925 he wrote a key paper on what we now call "Bose-Einstein condensates", predicting that particles of integer spin form a new state of matter at low temperatures. This idea is important for understanding superconductors and even lasers - though photons, being massless, work differently.

  4. In 1935 he wrote about the "Einsteinโ€“Podolskyโ€“Rosen paradox", which laid the groundwork for understanding the true weirdness of the quantum world. Even though the paper was phrased as an argument against quantum mechanics, when Bell sharpened the argument it revealed features of quantum entanglement that are crucial to quantum information processing!

  5. Also in 1935 he coauthored the first paper on wormholes, showing that general relativity allows amazing solutions that connect distant regions of space. He wanted to use this to explain particles as wormhole ends: the paper was called "The particle problem in general relativity".

I think it's cool that items 3 and 4 served as the basis for current and future quantum technologies. He was always way ahead of his time.

And don't forget all his work on unified field theories! Though not successful, it was crucial in lifting the goals of theoretical physics to something very ambitious: unifying all the forces of nature! He spent most of his later years on this.

    Interesting. Using one side for Live and the other for Neutral and keeping the two middle conductors unconnected to increase insulation still gives a clear 3kW (UK max safe load). I might have to try that just for a laugh.

    This furor over #DoctorWho releasing at midnight #UK time kinda comes off as a bit #nationalistic, like they're saying "its a OUR show and its for US and it should accommodate US first BEFORE you filthy non-Brits"

    Like, I'm sorry, we live in a global society now get over it or start a nationalist "Doctor Who for only loyal British subjects" party.

    Cost of party balloons about to sky-rocket?

    Wouldn't it be cheaper to fly patients to the Moon and back to be medically scanned there than bring the 3He down here? LOL

    Surely this insanely speculative BS is up for an prize?!

    It's OK because the helium will be on the Earth and so the Earth will be floating above the Moon.
