>>that is Mitch Feigenbaum, pretty please
Yes. I was more impressed by his 26-hour clock and 4.669 than his proper name
and muddled it. Just audited a 24-lecture course on chaos taught by Professor
Steven Strogatz.
As for Judy’s objections, yes, CERN is expensive as well as countless other
projects. My point was that the search for Higgs Boson, for example, is an
attempt to validate the prediction of a theory of cosmological symmetry
stemming from Noether’s First Theorem, General Relativity, and the Friedmann
equations, and derived from clever nuancing of conservation principles (lepton
number for example) in nucleogenesis models. In short, to *prove* the big stuff
one needs money; to develop the ideas behind big stuff one may only need a
chalkboard.
