# Edward Fredkin

Edward Fredkin (October 2, 1934 – June 13, 2023) was an American computer scientist and philosopher of information theory.

## Quotes

* Cellular automata are now being used to model varied physical phenomena normally modelled by wave equations, fluid dynamics, Ising models, etc. We hypothesize that there will be found a single cellular automaton rule that models all of microscopic physics; and models it exactly. We call this field DM, for digital mechanics.
** (September 1990)"An informational process based on reversible universal cellular automata". Physica D: Nonlinear Phenomena 45 (1–3): 254–270. DOI:10.1016/0167-2789(90)90186-S.
* Under the roof of one controversial assumption about physics, we discuss five big questions that can be addressed using concepts from a modern understanding of digital informational processes. The assumption is called finite nature. The digital mechanics model is obtained by applying the assumption to physics. The questions are as follows: 1. What is the origin of spin? 2. Why are there symmetries and CPT (charge conjugation, parity, and time reversal)? 3. What is the origin of length? 4. What does a process model of motion tell us? 5. Can the finite nature assumption account for the efficacy of quantum mechanics?

## Quotes about Fredkin

* Feynman considered Fredkin a brilliant and consistently original, though sometimes incautious, thinker. If anyone is going to come up with a new and fruitful way of looking at physics, Feynman said, Fredkin will.
** Robert Wright: (April 1988)"Did the Universe Just Happen?". The Atlantic.
* Bennett from IBM, Fredkin, and later Toffoli investigated whether, with gates that are reversible, you can do everything. And it turns out, wonderfully true, that the irreversibiilty is not essential for computation. It just happens to be the way we designed the circuits.
** Richard Feynman: (March 1993)"Infinitesimal machinery". Journal of Microelectromechanical Systems 2 (1): 4–14. (quote from p. 12; speech delivered in 1983 at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena)

# Edward Frenkel

Edward Vladimirovich Frenkel (born May 2, 1968) is a Russian mathematician, Professor of mathematics at University of California, Berkeley, member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and author of the bestselling book Love and Math. He is working in representation theory, algebraic geometry, and mathematical physics.

## Quotes

* In mathematics, it's not a game where the fastest wins. But rather, it's more like who can see farther, who can see deeper. That's the one who achieves more.
** Are Mathematicians Past Their Prime at 35?
* Mathematics allows you to see the invisible.
** Contenta, Sandro. "The Canadian who reinvented mathematics". Toronto Star.

### Love and Math, 2013

Edward Frenkel. Love and Math: The Heart of Hidden Reality. 2013.
* We should all have access to the mathematical knowledge and tools needed to protect us from arbitrary decisions made by the powerful few in an increasingly math-driven world. Where there is no mathematics, there is no freedom.
** p. 5
* I was proud of my work with Yakov Isaevich, and he of me. Despite our good relationship, however, I kept my “other” mathematical life – my work with Fuchs and Feigin and all of that – secret from him as I did from most other people. It was as though applied mathematics was my spouse, and pure mathematics was my secret lover.
** p. 139
* People tend to think that mathematicians always work in sterile conditions, sitting around and staring at the screen of a computer, or at a ceiling, in a pristine office. But in fact, some of the best ideas come when you least expect them, possibly through annoying industrial noise.
** p. 145

### Reality is a Paradox - Lex Fridman Podcast #370, April 2023

* ... looking back, ... I have not hurt people personally, but ... I could be mean, for instance, I could be harsh. And now I see it as sign of weakness, as a sign of insecurity.
** (April 2023)"Edward Frenkel: Reality is a Paradox - Mathematics, Physics, Truth & Love | Lex Fridman Podcast #370". Lex Fridman, YouTube. (quote at 1:58:46 of 3:46:38 in video)
* ... physics, one could say, is in sort of a crisis, in some sense, because of a current gap between the sophisticated theories, which come from applying sophisticated mathematics, and the actual universe. ... I think perhaps new ideas are needed, and I wouldn't be surprised if Witten is one those people who come up with those ideas.

# Bloodlines

Bloodlines is the first book of the spin-off series of the international #1 bestselling Vampire Academy series by Richelle Mead. The main character is Sydney Sage. The second book, The Golden Lily, came out in June 2012.

## Bloodlines (Book 1)

* "Yeah. Rose." Jill sighed and stared vacantly ahead. "She's all he sees when he closes his eyes. Flashing dark eyes and a body full of fire and energy. No matter how much he tries to forget her, no matter how much he drinks ... she's always there. He can't escape her."
** Jill Mastrano and Sydney Sage (p. 114)
* Adrian paled and went perfectly still as he stared at the newcomer, and in that moment, all my hopes for him came crashing down. Earlier, I’d been certain that if Adrian could just stay away from his past and any traumatic events, he’d be able to find a purpose and steady himself. Well, it looked like his past had found him, and if this didn’t qualify as a traumatic event, I didn’t know what did. Adrian’s new research partner stepped through the door, and I knew the uneasy peace we’d just established in Palm Springs was about to shatter. Dimitri Belikov had arrived.
** Sydney Sage, Adrian Ivashkov and Dimitri Belikov, p. 421

## Quotes from the manga

    Trans. Jenny McKeon, Seven Seas Entertainment
* The words in shoujo manga and love songs… They're always sparkling brightly. I don't need a dictionary to understand the meaning… But I've never felt them for myself. The sakura blossoms have gone from pink to green. In that time, I've gotten used to the new uniforms… and the steep slope in front of the school. But there's still one thing that hasn't changed since middle school.

## Dialogue

    Johnny Randall: You mean you hunted those people down? Then killed them, and did that to them?
    Dr. Albert Balleau: Exactly. I hunted them. And shall I tell you why? I'd been a scholar all my life. I was curator of a large museum. And the war began. I who had never killed anything in my life assigned to duty as a sniper - a sharpshooter - because of my steady hand and keen eyesight. [chuckles] It amuses me now that I found it distasteful at first. And as time went by I adjusted my new activity. For what had been an unpleasant duty became a pleasure then it developed into a passion and then into a lust. A lust for blood! A lust that has grown with the years! And one that I spend my entire life trying to satisfy.

# Clerical fascism

Clerical fascism refers to a repressive religious government where clerics are in charge.

## Sourced

* The claim that the United States cannot possibly bring about the fall of clerical fascism in Tehran is as silly as similar claims directed at Ronald Reagan when he set about bringing an end to the evil Soviet Empire. Indeed, skepticism about our determination to defeat Soviet Communism was far more justifiable than doubts about the thoroughly plausible path to end the Iranian mullahcracy.

* Khamenei & Co. do not think we will respond, do not fear Western action, and believe this is a historic movement for the advance of their vision of clerical fascism.

## Quotes

* Þe fourþe synne ys more perylous, With man and womman relygyus; Ȝyf þey haue made professyoun Boþe vn-to relygyoun, Moche ys to chargë þat folye Ȝyf þey to-gedyr do leccherye. Relygyous man also ys to blame, Þat yn þe wurlde takeþ a foule fame, For he may kepe hym weyl þerfro, Alonë þar hym neuer go.
** Robert de Brunne, Handlyng Synne (c. 1303)
* The day following, we entred Geneve, where sighting the Towne, the chiefe Burgo-masters, the seven Ministers, and the foure Captaines were all familiarly acquainted with me, with whom in diverse places, I daily feasted and discoursed. The Ministers one night propining me with a Bible, newly Translated in the Italian tongue, by one of them selves borne in Milane, told me there was a Masse-Priest sixe Leagues off, a Curate, of a Village in Madame du longeviles Countrey, who had gotten in his owne Parish, three Widdowes, and their three severall Daughters with childe, and all about one time: and for this his Luxurious Cullions was brought to Dijon to be Executed: Desiring me to go see the manner, the next day (leaving Master Bruce with them) I went hither, and upon the sequell day, I saw him hanged upon a new Gallowes, as high as a stripad: The three mothers and their three Daughters were set before him, being Gravidato, whose sorrowfull hearts, and eye-gushing teares for their sinne and shame, were lamentable to behold: the incestuous Bugerono, begging still mercy and pardon for dividing their legges, and opening their wretched Wombes. Lo there is the chastity of the Romish Priests, who forsooth may not marry, and yet may mis carry themselves in all abhominations, especially in Sodomy, which is their continuall pleasure and practise.

# Cliché

A cliché or cliche is an expression, idea, or element of an artistic work which has become overused to the point of losing its original meaning or effect, even to the point of being trite or irritating, especially when at some earlier time it was considered meaningful or novel.

## Quotes

* Everywhere, unthinking mobs of "independent thinkers" wield tired clichés like cudgels, pummeling those who dare question “enlightened” dogma. If “violence never solved anything,” cops wouldn’t have guns and slaves may never have been freed. If it’s better that 10 guilty men go free to spare one innocent, why not free 100 or 1,000,000? Clichés begin arguments, they don’t settle them.

# Erastus Otis Haven

Erastus Otis Haven (November 1, 1820 – August 2, 1881) was an American bishop of the Methodist Episcopal Church, elected in 1880.

## Quotes

* Christianity depends finally on consciousness and experience. From other departments of the mind she may retire at times or seem to, but never from this. Sitting here, if allowed to, on the throne of the soul, she occasionally walks into the other rooms and sets them in order; and accustomed lo her presence, sooner or later the soul finds every department flooded with her light.

# Ergodic theory

Ergodic theory is a branch of mathematics that studies dynamical systems with an invariant measure and related problems.

## Quotes

* Ergodic theory is a mathematical subject that studies the statistical properties of deterministic dynamical systems. It is a combination of several branches of pure mathematics, such as measure theory, functional analysis, topology, and geometry, and it also has applications in a variety of fields in science and engineering, as a branch of applied mathematics.

# Erhard Milch

Erhard Milch (March 30, 1892 – January 25, 1972) was a German field marshal general (Generalfeldmarschall) who oversaw the development of the German air force (Luftwaffe) as part of the re-armament of Nazi Germany following World War I. He was State Secretary in the Reich Ministry of Aviation and Inspector General of the Air force. During most of World War II, he was in charge of all aircraft production and supply. He was convicted of war crimes during the Milch Trial held before the U.S. military court in 1947 and sentenced to life imprisonment; he was released in 1954.

## Quotes

* That Germany beat these countries was due to better planning and not better preparedness.
** To Leon Goldensohn, March 13, 1946, from "The Nuremberg Interviews" - by Leon Goldensohn, Robert Gellately - History - 2004
* Let them try me. I shall have plenty to say about the Allies. I have some very good friends among the Americans and English, and the French industrialists, too. I have done nothing of which I am ashamed.
** To Leon Goldensohn, March 13, 1946, from "The Nuremberg Interviews" - by Leon Goldensohn, Robert Gellately - History - 2004

## About Milch

* He is a shrewd, Napoleonic, short man, who is very affable, but as poisonous as hell with his affability.
** Leon Goldensohn, January 22, 1946
* It was true enough, he did not appear ashamed — merely worried about his own immunity from trial as a war criminal.
** Leon Goldensohn, March 13, 1946
* There is no reason to believe that Milch was not absolutely sincere in his idealistic belief in Imperial Germany. Its destruction, however, caused a fundamental change in him: idealism in Erhard Milch was extinguished forever. From this period on, Milch became more and more the slave of his own ruthless ambition.

# Eratosthenes

Eratosthenes of Cyrene (c. 276 BC – c. 195/194 BC) was a Greek mathematician, geographer, poet, astronomer, and music theorist. He was a man of learning, becoming the chief librarian at the Library of Alexandria. He invented the discipline of geography, including the terminology used today.

## About Eratosthenes

* [Eratosthenes] ... is a mathematician among geographers, and yet a geographer among mathematicians; and consequently on both sides he offers his opponents occasions for contradiction.
** H. L. Jones (ed.), The Geography of Strabo (1917), Vol. 1, 359-61.
* Eratosthenes declares that it is no longer necessary to inquire as to the cause of the overflow of the Nile, since we know definitely that men have come to the sources of the Nile and have observed the rains there.
** Proclus, Timaeus, Vol. 1, 121.8-11 (Diehl); quoted in Morris R. Cohen and I. E. Drabkin, A Sourcebook in Greek Science (1948), 383.
* In comparison with the great size of the earth the protrusion of mountains is not sufficient to deprive it of its spherical shape or to invalidate measurements based on its spherical shape. For Eratosthenes shows that the perpendicular distance from the highest mountain tops to the lowest regions is ten stades [c.5,000-5,500 feet]. This he shows with the help of dioptras which measure magnitudes at a distance.
** Simplicius, Commentary On Aristotle's De Caelo, pp. 549.32-550.4 (Heiberg); quoted in Morris R. Cohen and I. E. Drabkin, A Sourcebook in Greek Science (1948), 160 n.2.
* Eratosthenes... knew that the Sun was straight overhead in... Syene at noon on the summer solstice, but that it was 7.2 degrees south of straight overhead in Alexandria, located 794 kilometers farther north. He concluded... 794 kilometers corresponded to 7.2 degrees out of the 360 degrees... around Earth's circumference, so that the circumference must be 794 km x 360°/7.2°≈39,700 km... remarkably close to the modern value of 40,000 km. Amusingly Christopher Columbus totally bungled this... confusing Arabic miles with Italian miles...
** Max Tegmark, Our Mathematical Universe: My Quest for the Ultimate Nature of Reality (2014)
* Eratosthenes of Cyrene, employing mathematical theories and geometrical methods, discovered from the course of the sun the shadows cast by an equinoctial gnomon, and the inclination of the heaven that the circumference of the earth is two hundred and fifty-two thousand stadia, that is, thirty-one million five hundred thousand paces.
