on a roll; the manic up-side, perhaps

i've certainly written more in this thing today than i have in the last few weeks, but i suppose i am on a roll...hehehehe...

anyway, i'm back to thinking about the Riemann hypothesis and the non-trivial zeroes describing some kind of power law distribution and i am mulling this over with respect to fractals and prime number generation and i

I started, but only started, the Ferrara presentation. The math was mostly about gas flows with shock waves. I think that's being set up to describe the way that supernovas trigger star formation.

I think the guy from "A Beautiful Mind" (I don't mean Russell Crowe, but John Nash) was trying to link the Riemann hypothesis to fundamental physics when he went crazy.

hehehehe

so THAT's what happened to Russell Crowe!!!

oh..... John Nash... yeah, i believe it. Cantor was a kook, too; Godel turned to strudel... sheesh, a lot of folks got a lot of batty after too much theorizing about, in and around infinity. Mathematics: World's Most Dangerous Job?

I think there is a certain amount of blessing i can be thankful for in not understanding the math too deeply. The computational/organizational parts of my brain aren't crunching innumerable combinations of un- or underrelated equations. I am getting a more general, gentle Daedalus to their blazing, burning Icarus in my approach to that particular Sun. I am thankful i have a bit more distant a view than those guys, though i'm sure i'm quite batty myself!
