Does anyone have the journal article she wrote about this? I can't find it online and it doesn't seem to even be listed on her website. I ask since my mom had this on NPR and loved the story (she had since kept bees) and now almost twenty years later, I study differential geometry. It'd be great to be able to explain the math to my mom, but this article doesn't give much to go on.
- mattkrause 10y agoThere's a thread about it on Quora (here: https://www.quora.com/What-is-the-current-state-of-research-on-Barbara-Shipmans-findings-regarding-Quantum-Mechanics-and-the-Honey-Bee-waggle-dance https://www.quora.com/What-is-the-current-state-of-research-... ) which gives this citation: Shipman, B. A., 1996, Investigating bee behavior from the standpoint of fundamental physical principles, Am Bee J, 136, 5:339-40 Sadly, neither I nor my institution subscribe to the American Bee Journal. Her website also lists a second paper: B.A. Shipman. The full Kostant -Toda lattice: Geometry of its singularities and its connection to honeybees and new developments in physics. Proceedings of the Workshop on the Iso Level Sets of Integrable Systems 2007. Keio University, MATH COE, Integrative Mathematical Sciences, JAPAN. 2007 but I couldn't find that anywhere either (not on PubMed, Google Scholar, MathSciNet...)
