We have been seeking a Mendeléev-type chart for the new particles. One such chart of the new particles was made independently by Gell-Mann in the USA and Nishijima in Japan. The basis of their classification is a new number, like the electric charge, which can be assigned to each particle, called its “strangeness,” S. This number is conserved, like

He’d heard Murray Gell-Mann, a Nobel laureate in physics, hold forth on seemingly every subject under the sun. After Gell-Man was done, Amos said, “You know, Murray, there is no one in the world who is as smart as you think you are.”

Craziest freakin’ theory I’ve ever heard is that the microtubules in our brains are highly structured within pyramidal neurons
And that this pyramidal chamber insulates the environment enough to support quantum coherent processes
Crazy stuff I know https://t.co/BjoADolJ7s
This is Einstein at Princeton, 1935.
He was tasked to find which young physicists would revolutionize science.
His unconventional method found Oppenheimer, Wheeler, and Nobel-Prize winners before anyone knew their names.
Here is his ONE method to spotting genius:... See more
Ilya Sutskever is wrong on this. The brain is not a digital computer and not really a computer at all, more like a quantum orchestra. Biology is based on organic carbon which supports quantum processes and self-similar dynamics in hertz, kilohertz, megahertz, gigahertz and terahertz in microtubules, composed of tubulin, the brain’s most abundant pr...
