If you could attend a lecture of any famous scientist or philosopher, living or dead, who would it be and why? ✍️

The second law of thermodynamics states that the entropy (or disorder) of an isolated system always increases over time. This means that the universe, as a whole, is moving towards a state of maximum disorder.
Charles Babbage on absence of facts ✍️ The errors which arise from the absence of facts are far more numerous and more durable than those which result from unsound reasoning respecting true data.
Proved by mathematician Thomas Hales in 1999, this conjecture states that hexagonal tiling is the best way to divide a surface into regions of equal area with the least total perimeter. This principle, observed in honeybee constructions, explains the efficiency of hexagons in…
Hayashi (2005, p. 363) states that the Śulba Sūtras include the world's earliest known verbal formulation of the Pythagorean Theorem, which was previously understood by the Old Babylonians. The text describes, "The diagonal rope (akṣṇayā-rajju) of a rectangle (oblong)…
Discovered independently by the German mathematicians August Ferdinand Möbius and Johann Benedict Listing in 1858, a Möbius strip is a surface with only one side and one boundary component. It has the mathematical property of being non-orientable.
Girih tiles are a set of five tiles that were used in the creation of Islamic geometric patterns that have gained recognition only recently due to their application in modern architecture. These tiles explain complex patterns that can fill the plane without repeating themselves.…
To-day, thanks to Einstein, we have definite reasons for believing that ultra-precise observation of nature has revealed our natural geometry arrived at with solids and light rays to be slightly non-Euclidean and to vary from place to place. So although the non-Euclidean…
After his death in 1871, Charles Babbage's brain was removed and preserved, reflecting the Victorian era's fascination with phrenology and the study of intelligence. The majority of his brain is currently housed at the Hunterian Museum at the Royal College of Surgeons in London,…
Man is now seen to be an enigma only as an individual; in the mass he is a mathematical problem. - Robert Chambers
The study of mathematics is the indispensable basis for all intellectual and spiritual progress. - F. M. Cornford
I remember discussions with Bohr which went through many hours till very late at night and ended almost in despair; and when at the end of the discussion I went alone for a walk in the neighbouring park I repeated to myself again and again the question: Can nature possibly be so…
It is of great advantage to the student of any subject to read the original memoirs on that subject, for science is always most completely assimilated when it is in the nascent state. - James C. Maxwell
Aharonov-Bohm Effect: This quantum mechanical phenomenon shows that an electrically charged particle can be affected by an electromagnetic field, even if the particle travels through a region in which both the magnetic field and electric field are zero.

Around 240 BC, the Greek mathematician Eratosthenes calculated the Earth's circumference using just a stick and the length of its shadow, with impressive accuracy.

My team sent me the following clips of @jordanbpeterson He says I’m a Christian, although I don’t know it. Well, I certainly don’t know it. He also says I’m “the last standing avatar of the rationalist spirit.” I’ll take that! Also, I'm still waiting for the in-person…
Perfection.
The mathematician's best work is art, a high perfect art, as daring as the most secret dreams of imagination, clear and limpid. Mathematical genius and artistic genius touch one another. - Gösta Mittag-Leffler
@PhysInHistory There isn’t if you understand them better than we do now I think
@PhysInHistory I don’t either if one sees it like Feynman did.
@PhysInHistory But spirit is not measured by quantity nor by how many times you breathe 🧘 I think 🤔
@PhysInHistory According to @DrStevenGreer we already have & continue to on a daily basis. 🤷♀️
