My answer is that you would be a truly free person. You would be forever liberated from the tyranny of others’ opinions, from self-doubt, from the fear of life and the fear of death, and from the demands of time.

Instead, you would be free to enjoy life as it is and to find fulfillment and joy in helping others.

Physics and Love

Dear Mrs. Chown,

Ignore your son’s attempts to teach you physics. Physics isn’t the most important thing. Love is.

Best wishes,

Nobel Prize x 2, part 1

Posted on April 6, 2008 by rpflee

The Nobel Prize in Physics in 1956

Bardeen brought only one of his three children to the Nobel Prize ceremony. His two sons were studying at Harvard University, and Bardeen didn’t wanted to disrupt their studies. King Gustav scolded Bardeen because of this, and Bardeen assured the King that the next time he would bring all his children to the ceremony.

The Nobel Prize in Physics in 1972

In 1972, John Bardeen shared the Nobel Prize in Physics with Leon Neil Cooper of Brown University and John Robert Schrieffer of the University of Pennsylvania for their jointly developed theory of superconductivity, usually called the BCS-theory.

Bardeen did bring all his children to the Nobel Prize ceremony in Stockholm, Sweden.

Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but we rather have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.

Octupole Expansion

Posted on April 6, 2008 by rpflee

I have used a whole month to do this derivation.

$\displaystyle{V(\mathbf{R}) = ... + \frac{1}{4 \pi \varepsilon_0} \frac{3}{2 |\mathbf R|^4} \sum_{ijk} \hat R_i \hat R_j \hat R_k Q_{ijk} + ... }$

$\displaystyle{Q_{ijk} = \int_{\mathbf r} \left[ \delta_{ij} ( r^2 - 5 r_i r_j + \frac{10}{3} r_i r_j \delta_{jk} ) r_k - |\epsilon_{ijk}| 10 r_i r_j r_k \right] \rho(\mathbf r) d^3 r}$

But I still do not know whether it is correct or not.

Clarke’s three laws

Posted on March 17, 2008 by rpflee

1. When a distinguished but elderly scientist states that something is possible, he is almost certainly right. When he states that something is impossible, he is very probably wrong.

2. The only way of discovering the limits of the possible is to venture a little way past them into the impossible.

3. Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.

The Machine

Posted on January 23, 2008 by rpflee

The intent here is
to gain a clearer perception of ourselves,
of humanity in general:
where we’ve been,
where we’re going,
the pitfalls and the possibilities,
the perils and the promise …
perhaps even an answer to
that universal question:
Why?

Wildly

Posted on December 22, 2007 by rpflee

People are naturally wired to focus on only one thing at a time with excellence.

We must learn to distinguish between what is “merely important” and what is “wildly important“.

… and in general mathematicians tend to behave like fermions, i.e. avoid working in areas which are too trendy whereas physicists behave a lot more like bosons, which coalesce in large packs and are often over-selling their doings, an attitude which mathematicians despise.

A good scientist is a person with original ideas. A good engineer is a person who makes a design that works with as few original ideas as possible. There are no prima donnas in engineering.

The most powerful method of advance
that can be suggested at present is
to employ all the resources of pure mathematics in attempts
to perfect and generalize the mathematical formalism
that forms the existing basis of theoretical physics, and
after each success in this direction, to try to interpret the
new mathematical features in terms of physical entities…
