 Kottke.org has a great video clip of renowned physicist Richard Feynman explaining why he can't explain why magnets attract and repel one another. "When you explain a 'why' [question] you have to be in some framework that you allow something to be true. Otherwise you're perpetually asking why. [...] You have to know what it is that you're permitted to understand, and allow to be understood and known, and what it is you're not."And scientists get upset* when people draw analogies between physics and postmodernism! (Many thank to Rob for this link.) PS. I asked a physicist friend recently if people in her field still give a shit about the Sokal affair* and she said "naw, not really. It wasn't a peer-reviewed journal and that's all anyone cares about these days." Of course, folks in the humanities are still writhing in shame. |
"Ingrid, go tell the kitchen: fish, fish, fish, fish, fish, fish."
Steven Strogatz of The Opinionator has decided to embark on a series of blog posts to teach artists about math. He starts off with the basics in a post called From Fish To Infinity in which he extrapolates from a classic Sesame Street clip. "As adults," he suggests, "we might notice a potential downside to numbers. Sure, they are great time savers, but at a serious cost in abstraction." (Thanks, again, to Morris Wolfe for the tip.)

screen shot from Red vs. Blue
Thanks to certain friends and relatives (you know who you are), I have recently become a devotee of the podcast Drunk Tank. I've always been a fan of guy-on-guy humour. I dunno why. If you like listening to young men banter semi-intelligently about games and movies and sports, you'll like Drunk Tank. Under the umbrella name of Rooster Teeth, they work together doing something involving game promotion, and they make the machinima sensation Red vs. Blue (which is pretty great, but in my opinionn not as much fun as the podcast). And they have a hilarious FAQ.
