Few lessons from Bertrand Russell's History Of Western Philosophy✍️

An thread 🧵 Philosophy... is something intermediate between theology and science. Like theology, it consists of speculations on matters as to which definite knowledge has, so far, been unascertainable; but like science, it appeals to human reason rather than authority, whether that of tradition or that of revelation.

Physicists and Their Love for Chalkboards.

A Thread👇 Paul Dirac

Paul Dirac was a pioneer of quantum mechanics and the first to predict antimatter, key to our understanding of the universe. He shared the 1933 Nobel Prize in Physics with Erwin Schrödinger for his work on atomic theory. In this image, he stands before a chalkboard filled with physics equations. ✍️

Brook Taylor was born today in 1685 (d. 1731). He introduced what is now known as Taylor's theorem in his 1715 work Methodus Incrementorum Directa et Inversa. The theorem was later refined and further developed by other mathematicians, but Taylor was the first to formalise the concept of expanding a function into a series based on its derivatives at a single point. Taylor's Theorem is a fundamental result in calculus that provides an approximation of a function near a specific point using the derivatives of the function at that point. The theorem essentially allows us to represent a smooth function as a sum of its derivatives at a particular point.

10 Solar eclipse facts that you probably didn't know about.

A thread 🧵 One of the earliest recorded solar eclipses occurred on May 28, 585 BC, and is known as the Eclipse of Thales, after the Greek philosopher who reportedly predicted it. This eclipse is famous for halting the battle between the Lydians and the Medes, who were fighting a long-standing war. The sudden darkness was interpreted as a sign from the gods to stop the conflict, leading to a truce.

The Copenhagen interpretation of quantum physics is one of the most influential and controversial views on the nature of reality. In this thread, I will explain what it is, how it developed, and why it matters.

A thread ✍️
The Copenhagen interpretation was born out of the work of a group of physicists led by Niels Bohr, who founded the Institute for Theoretical Physics in Copenhagen, Denmark, in 1920.
