The Dark Star Gazette: Al Gore on subjunctivision
november 2008 by vielmetti
Subjunctivision: a term from Godel, Escher, Bach: an Eternal Golden Braid. Subjunctivision is a sort of "what if" television: by twiddling the controls, you can watch TV as if things had gone differently.
Al Gore opened for Saturday Night Live this past weekend. I hadn't seen the opening sequence until tonight. It's a very funny bit of comedy subjunctivision where he addresses the country as if he were elected President in 2000. You can catch the Quicktime link here.

The Science Creative Quarterly » HOW TO GET YOUR OWN SCIENTIFIC EPONYM, AND, INTRODUCING THE ARBESMAN LIMIT
october 2008 by vielmetti
But first, a cautionary note: do not be greedy, for there is a threshold. This upper barrier, which I term the Arbesman Limit, is the maximum number of concepts or ideas that can be named after a single person. This boundary is unknown, but I imagine it to hover in the neighborhood of twenty. Johann Dirichlet, a French mathematician from the nineteenth century, is probably somewhere near it, with about fifteen formulas and theorems named after him. Einstein also did well for himself, with probably around ten concepts associated with his name.
