I design verification protocols for quantum networks. They are the foundation for the so hyped quantum internet and have applications all over quantum computing. What I use as fundamentals and did not derive myself comes directly from Von Neumann - his density matrix formalism. And again, whenever quantum computing is concerned, those old principles from long ago still hold. Mathematics is immortal. I don't know how often the old stuff reappears in my daily life. I can read papers from the 1930s and they are still as relevant and accurate now as they were back then. I love understanding the fundamentals of the systems and machines that I use and control. Understanding a computer in the last detail, down to its very last bit and using symmetry to make the algorithms more efficient. Old stuff rarely gets old and so many ideas coming to fruition now are truly old in their core.

All these people died and Time, past-present-future combined, continued to flow.

@@solivagant1170 The reality is, in past decades, IQ’s have been quoted for various individuals who NEVER took an IQ test. These numbers are best guesses based on vague indicators. Newton, Ben Franklin, Einstein, Tesla are given numbers that are ridiculous. A “high IQ” really means that person scored well on the types of thinking the test preparer was evaluating. Einstein was an entirely different type of thinker, as were Feynman, DaVinci, etc. Newton, Liebniz, etc. Many perform well, like Marilyn vos Savant, but do nothing with their “supposed intelligence.” Differential Aptitude tests prepared by those with highly developed aptitudes in specific areas are better evaluations of a mind’s powers.

@@revenant2979 we’ll have to agree to disagree on what qualifies as “a good documentary” and whether or not they “always have” background music As for movies, yes, there is music but usually not start to finish so in most cases the majority of the dialogue and action do not have music and music is used to “pepper” the dialogue and augment the scene. I know movie music composers personally and they in most cases get to watch cuts and fit their music to fit the mood . Your version of a “good documentary” that always has background music appears ad hoc and almost haphazard. Not optimal for creating a mood. I also do not want my learning science brain to be engaged emotionally like “good movie music “ is designed to do. There is a science to that and a very long history of what composers did to for instance evoke a fear response for their audience. I know, no fear response here. However for those of us who prefer to enjoy music separately from learning dialogue it puts us in a stage of multitasking. Again, there’s a whole history of the allure of multitasking but most of the data concludes we are incapable of doing it fully. Arguably on the average a female brain can switch faster than the median male brain but the switching does not mean that anyone is doing true multitasking. Fear not, I realize you, a lot of others, and even the creator has a preference to having it which means I won’t be listening here. I made a request, and for reasons that suit others it was declined. I will put on my grown up boy pants and go elsewhere. I do not like being told what a “good documentary” has by someone who does not know what my preferences are and what my learning style is Enjoy yourself kind revenant2979 perhaps you might wanna consider a little more reverence for those who are not like you Anon

although von Neumann was a brilliant scientist - but he seems to be lacking in certain moral qualities - one thing i read about him was that he preferred to be with people who came from rich background and had certain bias towards lower class citizens - not to mention the utter disregard for civillian life in bombing cities through atomic bomb - he also took credit for ideas of mauchly and eckert and conveniently forgot to give them credit for their role in computer architecture - certainly not the behaviour of a good person
@glenn07777
@glenn07777 16 күн бұрын
The store program architecture was clearly Eckerts' idea. Neumann simply justified it on paper by invoking previous Turing's work on the so-called universal Turing Machine. He tried by the way to allure Turing to stay in Princeton but for some reason the last run back to England once he saw some things. But it was not only that. Detonations? In England they had already solved most of the problems by 1942 and the Americans send him there in 1944 to be educated by G. I. Taylor and come back with all the perks. Quantum Mechanics? The work was done by Heisenberg, Schrodinger, Jordan and others. He mocked Dirac's work esp. delta functions in his book but it was this work that prevailed among physicists and it was proven right in the 50's by Schwartz. His "proof" on hidden variables was characterized by Bell as ridiculous. If you look very closely and carefully in his 5 volume "Works" (Pergamon Press) he never did something genuinely new but always stepped in other peoples work and overtake it as if it was his. He even tried to pull the same trick with Godel but he couldn't.

Champernowne in The Review of Economic Studies, Vol. 13, No. 1 (1945 - 1946), pp. 10-18 and see for yourself that it was a knock off from minimax. Nobody took it seriously. Later on, Solow's model paved the way for much more realistic models. His work on Hilbert-space- description of classical mechanics was based solely on a clever observation of Koopmans who saw that observables on a classical system are measurable functions on its phase space and the flow of the underlying dynamical system acts linearly on their space -hence the Hilbert space structure. And oh boy, he was good in Hilbert space theory as he was an aid of Hilbert himself. Ergodic theorem? Birkoff's was more general and came few months earlier than his and then he complained that Birkoff have stolen it (!) Game theory? Minimax theorem yes, it was his, but game theory? Morgenstern said that they met lots and lots of mornings in a country club for months trying to interpret economically the notions of imputation and stable set. And nobody cared. Core, kernel, nucleolus and the like are much more realistic. Utility representation theorem? Definitely his achievement but nobody managed to use it effectively. Is it a power to some a

I was much disappointed to learn of von Neumann's sharing of the views of Harry Truman in both the use of the nuclear bomb on Japanese cities and the martial disposition towards Soviet Russia. What these views and the leadership of those who held them did was produce the imperial, tyranny that the USA is today, in 2024, with much bloodshed and war crimes by the USA in between.

The only solutions to the world's problems. Daniel 2 : 44 “In the days of those kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that will never be destroyed And this kingdom will not be passed on to any other people. It will crush and put an end to all these kingdoms, and it alone will stand forever, [] Revelation 21 : 3, 4 With that I heard a loud voice from the throne say: “Look! The tent of God is with mankind, and he will reside with them, and they will be his people. And God himself will be with them. 4 And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.”

Very strange, or perhaps not that strange at all. Every time a prominent Hungarian scientist is presented in a video his religious affiliation, most of the time "Jewish", is underlined. (In the case of John Von Neumann he was baptized Catholic in 1930, yet it is found essential to mention his Jewish ancestry.) Factually there is nothing wrong with it. This proves one thing for sure, there was no persecution of Jews in the Hungarian educational system and by logic, in the Hungarian society. It is true today as well. Nevertheless, I consider it counterproductive to make this "distinction" without fail. What useful purpose can this serve?

Great presentation. But you skipped all the work done in Great Britain during the war to break the German code Enigma. Remember Turin? By the end of the war, the Brits had a machine that could accelerate the process of deciphering any code the Germans came up with. All this technology was declared top secret in England and was shipped to America.

We need good workers not smart people in today's world.I wonder if he predicted that smart people are a PIA in 2024. Everybody's always wanting to better themselves, darn them. A good worker who will go into debt, is strong like bear smart like tractor, thats what we need. It'd be nice if they would follow orders well and precisely. No complaining and no moping either.

Golly gee! Swell parroting of nuke Japan propaganda! The curious reader may wish to look into the fact that Russia was massing its military on its eastern border across from Japan (to continue earlier hostilities). Reminder: being a genius on math and physics does not necessarily entail competence in all fields (such as driving, marriage, or health risk assessment for instance).
