I love old timey articles like this. I remember reading something from Charles Babbage about how the means through which coal is cycled back out of the atmosphere are as yet unknown. Oh if only he knew.
- mhh__ 7y agoI also like old (although mainly physics) papers like that. Even relatively recent things prior to the deep scattering of the proton (the discovery of the quarks) - Feynman pondering in a completely incorrect direction is quite fun. It's slightly depressing how far we've come and how willfully stupid some people are (anything from denying global warming to hippies and 5G), although I wouldn't disagree if you were to argue that the only thing that really matters is medicine and food at the end of day.
