Interesting quote from "Prime Obsession: Bernhard Riemann and the Greatest Unsolved Problem in Mathematics"
"So yes, it seems that the non-trivial zeros of the zeta function and the eigenvalues of random Hermitian matrices are related in some way. This raises a rather large question, a question that has been hanging in the air ever since that encounter in Fuld Hall in 1972. The non-trivial zeros of Riemann's zeta function arise from inquiries into the distribution of prime numbers. The eigenvalues of a random Hermitian matrix arise from inquiries into the behavior of systems of subatomic particles under the laws of quantum mechanics. What on earth does the distribution of prime numbers have to do with the behavior of subatomic particles?"

Free, Open Source Modular Synth Software Lets You Create 70s & 80s Electronic Music—Without Having to Pay Thousands for a Real-World Synthesizer
Open Culture
In the past decade or so, the analog modular synth—of the kind pioneered by Robert Moog and Don Buchla—has made a comeback, creating a booming niche market fun of musicians chasing the sounds of the 70s and 80s. These inscrutable racks of patchbays, oscillators, filters, etc. look to the non-initiated more like telephone operator stations of old than musical instruments. But the sounds they produce are sublime and otherworldly, with a saturated warmth unparalleled in the digital world. But while Read the full story

"And just as the panda and the blue whale have come to symbolize both the beauty and the impermanence of mammalian life; and just as creatures such as the bluefin tuna, the Grand Banks codfish, the dodo and the great auk, and the Japanese flowering cherry blossom have come to stand for the precious fragility of nature, the Barrier Reef has come to stand for the earth's delicate and finely balanced frailty. Not just the frailty of corals. Not just of ocean life. But of the planet's life, in total. For as goes the Great Barrier Reef, science is able to claim, so goes the natural world."

The White Man's Burden: </em>Stanza 6 Summary
By all ye cry or whisper,
By all ye leave or do,
The silent, sullen peoples
Shall weigh your gods and you.
Interesting quote from "Pacific: Silicon Chips and Surfboards, Coral Reefs and Atom Bombs, Brutal Dictators, Fading Empires, and the Coming Collision of the World's Superpowers"
"The notion that Japanese troops would be armed by those who had recently vanquished them and that they would then be compelled to fight under a British flag alongside Nepalese soldiers for a French colonial ideal against a Vietnamese force that was demanding its own people's independence is well-nigh incomprehensible."
