Thanks for the explanation. Makes sense. Something else I noticed, vector notation does not specify a coordinate system. V = (1, 2) is just an array of two numbers. The cartesian coordinate interpretation is a choice we make. Correct?

Was it Nietzsche who said such similar things in one of his books? We are born as indentured servants to the state. The state let's us live as long as we continue to pay our debt which is called euphemistically "tax." The imp

True. But I eliminate foods out of necessity. Recently I stopped eating legumes as part of FODMAP diet and I see it makes a difference. I also suspect that we may be eating too much variety. I like for instance Fukuoka's approach to di

What is interesting about this article for me is that, the question of free will has been one of the oldest subject of academic scholasticism. So how come now it is being discussed by people whose profession is about measuring and classifyi

Ok. So you don't need to actually "read" and understand the binary code like you are reading a programming language. You look for out of place numbers.

That was great. I read it for the first time. Similar scenarios happen in so many other fields. Some bad idea takes hold. Then schools teach it. Then more people invest time learning it so that they cannot admit it is bad and this goes spre

Since he described symmetry in terms of rotations, I would expect that the object labeled (g) in the first figure would be symmetric under 360 degrees rotation. He says it's not symmetric.
