This was BIG.
July 20, 1969. “Contact light, engine stop.” The Apollo 11 lunar module Eagle touched down at Tranquility Base on the Moon. A few hours later, Neil Armstrong and I stepped foot on the Moon, with Michael Collins orbiting close-by. An achievement resulting from years of

Seems correct, but there are many mathematically beautiful theories that do not match reality; e.g., Hermann Weyl’s early attempt to unify E&M and gravity. Beautiful, but not our reality.

Three Phase AC.
Nikola Tesla had an intense compulsion for the number 3 and other numbers divisible by 3. He often walked around a block 3 times before entering a building, demanded 18 napkins (a number divisible by 3), and stayed in hotel rooms with numbers divisible by 3.

This is a very good explanation of a common state of affairs we experience in real life.
@MagpieMcGraw @ESYudkowsky What sounds to me like a potentially major problem affecting you is the disconnect between caloric restriction and fuel partitioning. Obviously, a caloric deficit always corresponds to weight loss (independent of proportion of lean to fat mass lost), but the problem with CICO.

Doesn’t this happen on the regular?.
Imagine waking up in the morning, unable to move, and seeing "No Signal" flashing in your visual field — making you question reality as you wonder if you are merely a brain floating in a vat.

I remember this!.
On this day, July 16th 1969, we were “GO” for launch – and at precisely 13:32 UTC, #Apollo11 lifted off from @NASAKennedy to transport three mortal Americans – Neil Armstrong, Michael Collins and myself – to the Moon. The hard work, dedication and focus across the entire @NASA

It’s all Road Warrior from here on out.
In a civilized country, clean drinking water would be readily available, instead of everyone being forced to carry around a canteen.

Foxhole Physics!.
The first detailed solution to Einstein’s field equations predicting black holes was found by Karl Schwarzschild in 1916 — while he was serving in the German army on the Eastern Front during World War I.
