CPT Twit - Albert Einstein beyond Math and Physics - What you should know!

 “The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and science. He to whom the emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand wrapped in awe, is as good as dead —his eyes are closed. The insight into the mystery of life, coupled though it be with fear, has also given rise to religion. To know what is impenetrable to us really exists, manifesting itself as the highest wisdom and the most radiant beauty, which our dull faculties can comprehend only in their most primitive forms—this knowledge, this feeling is at the center of true religiousness.”

Einstein and Hopi Indian 1931

Finding a Laugh in a Political Quagmire - What to do? What to do? See Simone Giertz

If there is one thing we all need in the heat of this bizarre political campaign, it is a good laugh.  John Blais, Publisher and President at Chronicle Media, LLC saved me from the political malaise about to overwhelm me this election season.  Simone is a great antidote everyone should try.

Need A Useless Robot? Simone Giertz Is The Queen

NPR Staff

Simone Giertz makes robots.

And while they're technically adept — they do work — they don't actually work very well.

Giertz has found fame online via her useless robots, including one that's been viewed more than a million times online.

But it's not just the fame she's going for. She tells NPR she wants other people to get into robotics.

"To me, the goal of building useless and ridiculous robots is more — I mean, in some way, it's like a personal goal because I think it's really fun, and I think having fun is super important to create things," she says.

That's evidenced by her accompanying "making of" videos to some of the machines (there's some salty language in this video).

And if you browse the comment sections of the Internet at all (or work on the Internet), you might be interested in her "Comment Assistant."
