Remembered Lessons

1. Choose an objective apparently ahead of its time 2. Work on problems only when you feel tangible success may come in several years 3. Never be the brightest person in a room 4. Stay in close contact with your intellectual competitors  5. Work with a teammate who is your intellectual equal 6. Always have someone to save you

Stephen Hawking:

“Remember to look up at the stars and not down at your feet. Try to make sense of what you see and wonder about what makes the universe exist. Be curious.”

Albert Einstein :

“The important thing is not to stop question, curiosity has its own reason for existence.”

Today,14th March, we mark 3rd death anniversary of the famous theoretical physicist, cosmologist and author, Stephen Hawking as we celebrate 142nd birthday of the greatest theoretical physicist, Albert Einstein, born on this day, 1879 in Ulm Germany.

Happy π day everybody!!!

Some infamous / striking ‘pathological’ objects in mathematics

Logic sometimes makes monsters. For half a century we have seen a mass of bizarre functions which appear to be forced to resemble as little as possible honest functions which serve some purpose. (…)

In former times when one invented a new function it was for a practical purpose; today one invents them purposely to show up defects in the reasoning of our fathers and one will deduce from them only that.

If logic were the sole guide of the teacher, it would be necessary to begin with the most general functions, that is to say with the most bizarre. It is the beginner that would have to be set grappling with this teratologic museum.

— Henri Poincaré, 1899

Hilbert space-filling curve

It’s a 1-dimensional curve, continuously mapped to fill the entire area of 2-dimensional unit square… or just as easily, fill the space of a 3D unit cube, or a finite number of higher dimensions.

Weierstrass function

A function continuous everywhere, but whose rate of change at every point is definable nowhere, because of its fractal properties (in arbitrarly small regions, it changes infinitely often)

Cantor set

A fractal subset of a line interval made by removing the middle third, and repeatedly removing the middle third of each line segment left over. Has as many points as the original unit interval, but total length zero, and other strange properties

Cantor function

Continuous, has a rate of change of zero at every point, but is increasing on every finite interval in its domain

Gabriel’s Horn

A geometric surface with infinite surface area and finite volume

Sphere eversion

A transformation making it possible to take a spherical surface, smoothly, continuously turning it inside out, without making creases or holes, but letting the surface pass through itself (shown: the “halfway point” of one sphere eversion)

Banach Tarski construction

Decomposition of a 3-dimensional ball into a finite number of pieces, which can be rearranged by moving and rotating them without stretching or changing their shape, into two copies identical to the original ball (the pieces aren’t depicted here, because they’re infinite scatterings of points which are so complex they can’t be assigned a meaningful volume).
