- The breakthrough came in the 1840s from an undergraduate student named William Thomson. - His day job as an undergraduate was to learn as much fancy calculus as possible. And then when he learned that he invented more.
So Bohm took the advice. His journeys brought him to Brazil and then Israel.And though he was free from the political pressures he had felt in America, he still found himself an outcast.
- Yeah. Yeah, that... I could not agree more. There are some problems with, his guards and says, "You kiss the foot," and the guard's probably taller than he is.
done for me lately? His point is that democracies that do not deliverbroad-based opportunity are vulnerable to autocratic capture.
He didn’t bother submitting them to a journal -- he just put them on the internet and walked away. His fellow mathematicians had to stop what they were doing and try to decipher it.And several teams working independently of the best of colleges in the world, took the next four years to try to unpack the arguments,
For those of us who are not initiated, what is a future foundation? His Excellency Khalfan Belhoul: So imagine you run a lab, and the owner of the lab comes to you and says, "You can do whatever you want,and you have my full backing and you have a solid amount of financial resources.

And thankfully it worked. His lungs cleared.We were under no illusions about his condition.
He still had a single ventricle. His body had actually grown all sorts of new connections, hoping to rebalance his circulation.And while I was amazed that his body was finding ways to heal itself, we knew it was unsustainable.
and that peptide could hang around for hours. His discovery catalyzed what would become the GLP-1 revolution.Now for a long time, GLP-1 was thought to be mainly about digestion, but it's now clear that the medications affect much more than eating.
My question to him at the end of the night: "Do you plan to vaccinate your kids?" His reply? "Sure, except for the flu vaccine, because the flu vaccine has viruses in it, and every time I take it, I get sick."I guess he didn't realize that he was sitting across the table from a woman who had just invented a novel flu vaccine
He needed that time to think. His communication style tag is "Morning meeting maven.Books everything before lunch.
much of his work happened in quiet isolation back in Norway. His goal was simple to try and prove that the number or count of twin primes always increases.And to do this, he took a 2000 year old prime counting tool and tried to adapt it for twin primes.
And I was just thinking about whether I could do this. - His idea was this. First he wanted to keep track of the shortest distance from the source to each node.
This is also known as its cost. His goal, well, if he could find the shortest path from the source to one node, then he could build up other shortest pathsstarting from this new node, and then the next, and on and on.
In the audience was a young computer science student who just happened to be building his own kernel from scratch. His version wasn't free, but after hearing Stallman speak, the student changed his mind and adopted the General Public License.At first, he wanted to call it Free Unix, or Freax, but his friend thought that sounded terrible, so he renamed it after the student himself, Linus Torvalds.
- He wins Rich over almost immediately. his code will run first.
But there was a problem. His brother and cousin had failed to build an ice house.So, with no place to store the ice, Tudor had to sell it straight off the dock, under the hot sun.
He was actually known to eat up to 18 scoops after lunchtime, which is a bit crazy. His sweet tooth was so famous that the CIA actually tried to assassinate him with a poisoned milkshake.Now, back in Tudor's day, his work was finally paying off.
Over that same period, he rapidly expanded his empire, opening roots to Brazil, Singapore, Hong Kong, and even Australia. His yearly sales went from less than 10,000 tonnes in the 1830s to a record high of 132,000 tonnes in 1856.Seeing the wealth and power of his monopoly, the world gave Tudor a new name: the Ice King.
Einstein believed the same logic applied to quantum mechanics. His thought experiment revealed that quantum theory is non-local.So just like with Newton's gravity, quantum mechanics must not be the final theory.
His working is in there, and you could see him really struggling.
His engine powered the first flight of a British jet aircraft, the Gloster E.28/39 prototype.
His invention came at the perfect time.
His father never recovered from Emil's death and just weeks after the explosion in Stockholm, Immanuel suffered a stroke.
- His dad never had the success that Alfred's having, you know, financially, and he's being lauded as this great inventor.
His dad, I think, is just jealous essentially.
His idea forms the basis of every escalator in use today.
His hope was that one of these hormones would cause it to die.
- His hands were always covered with gum elastic.
His daughter later said, "As I was passing in and out of the room, I casually observed the little piece of gum,"
His new chemistry delivered nearly double, a huge 2.4 volts per cell.
- His intellectual nemesis on the socialist side was Andrey Markov, also known as Andrey The Furious.
His recovery was long and slow, with Ulam spending most of his time in beds.
His name was Dietrich Braess, a German mathematician.
His faith forbids him from crossing the sea.
His death shattered the illusion of unity in the Party, and the cultural revolution began to lose steam.
His story was retold in schools, books, and films.
His cutting edge skyscraper, an engineering marvel had a fatal flaw.
His name is Lee DeCarolis.
His new assistant, Emmy Noether.
His work was labeled a horror and a grave disease, but Cantor wasn't discouraged.
His success only spurred him to pursue his even grander goal to show that even uncountably infinite sets could be placed in a definitive order.
His proof also used an uncountable number of steps, was that even allowed?
His target was an oxygen storing protein called myoglobin, an important protein in our hearts.
- His technique called "RF Diffusion" is trained by adding random noise to a known protein structure, and then the AI has to remove this noise.
His idea was to replace the tungsten filament, which fired off electrons at random, with a more directed source.
His watch. He would wake me up at the same exact minute, every single day.
His life was full of routine, he would iron his shirts the night before.
