Cosmologists are often wrong but never in doubt. — Lev Landau (Russian physicist)

The most incomprehensible thing about the universe is that it is comprehensible. — Albert Einstein

Scientific research consists in seeing what everyone else has seen, but thinking what no one else has thought — Albert Szent-Gyorgyi (Nobel Prize 1937)

A theoretical physicist is a physicist without the ability to perform real experiments. A mathematical physicist is a mathematician without the ability to perform real mathematics. — David Mermin

An expert is a man who has made all the mistakes, which can be made, in a very narrow field. — Niels Henrik David Bohr

More computing sins are committed in the name of efficiency, without necessarily achieving it, than for any other single reason -- including blind stupidity. — WA Wulf

There’s a reason physicists are so successful with what they do, and that is they study the hydrogen atom and the helium ion and then they stop. — Richard Feynman

It is nothing short of a miracle that modern methods of instruction have not yet entirely strangled the holy curiosity of inquiry. For this delicate little plant, aside from stimulation, stands mainly in need of freedom. — Einstein, in regard to modern methods of education.

There is a remarkably close parallel between the problems of the physicist and those of the cryptographer. The system on which a message is enciphered corresponds to the laws of the universe, the intercepted messages to the evidence available, the keys for a day or a message to important constants that have to be determinted. The correspondence is very close, but the subject of cryptograpy is very easily dealt with by discrete machinery, physics no so easily. — Alan Turing

Science is about why; engineering is about why not. — Dean Kamen

Scintillate, scintillate
Globule vivific
Fain would I fathom
Thy nature specific
Loftily perched
In the ether capacious
Strongly resembling
A gem carbonaceous. — polysyllabic “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star”

new life for an old (FTX) PSU, improved life for one human

the LEDs on this 5m strip happen to emit light centred on a red that does unexpectedly helpful things to (and surprisingly deeply within) a human routinely exposed to it. it has been soldered to a Molex connector, plugged into a TFX power supply from a (retired: the MoBo is cactus) Small Form Factor PC, the assorted PSU connectors (and loose end from the strip) have been taped over. the LED strip cost $10.24 including postage, the rest cost $0, the PSU is running at 12½% of capacity, consumes less power than a laptop plug-pack despite running a fan. trial runs begin today.

boundaries

pushing the actual boundaries of the physical (not extremes, the boundaries themselves) can often remove barriers not otherwise perceived. one can then often resolve an issue itself, rather than merely stonewalling at the physical consequences of the issue.

I have a LibreOffice Impress slideshow that I wish to turn into a narrated video. 1. export the slideshow as PNG images (if that is partially broken — as at now — at higher resolutions, Export Directly as PDF then use ‘pdftoppm’ (from the poppler-utils package) to do the same). 2. write a small C program (63 lines including comments) to display those images one at a time, writing a config file entry for Imagination (default transition: ‘cross fade’) based on when the image-viewer application (‘display,’ from the GraphicsMagick suite) is closed on each one; run that, read each image aloud, then close each image in turn. 3. run ‘Imagination’ over the config file to produce a silent MP4 video with the correct timings. 4. run ‘Audacity’ to record speech while using ‘SMPlayer’ to display the silent video, then export that recording as a WAV file. 4a. optionally, use ‘TiMIDIty’ to convert a non-copyright-encumbered MIDI tune to WAV, then import that and blend it with the speech (as a quiet b
