I am not sure I’ve heard his name before, but he must be one of the patron saints of Reed College
After the war, he came to the U.S. to study physics. Together with physicist Richard Feynman, he was able to reconcile two competing theories of quantum electrodynamics, the study of how sub-atomic particles and light interact. “He was able to show that all these different points of view were one and the same thing,” Dijkgraaf says. “He was a great unifier of physics.”
A Mantra among Reedies goes roughly ‘Reality is a graph of planes existing in 360 degrees of density; Chemistry = Economics = English Lit. etc’
The thing he is most known for among us SciFi geeks, I played upon in the thread title.
I would think that this would be a constant source of risk.
Have we already started building a Dyson sphere?
I had a Dyson Vacuum that had a base shaped like a sphere, kind of.
