... this at some point? While we’re in the Weird Science category, one of my favorite bits of math is John Conway’s free-will theorem : Conway thus concluded that if the experimente[r] had sufficient freewill to decide the directions in which he would measure the particle then the particle too must have the freewill to decide on the value of its spin in those directions such that...

Chirag Shah created a great tool for archivists called ContextMiner which helps the archivist set up an automated set of directed web crawls across various media repositories, like YouTube. It’s already working pretty well in the pre-beta phase and has a nice set of users. But we thought that ContextMiner could do more for more people. Chirag and I showed ContextMiner to John Conway at...

In fact, some colleagues in CDF were not happy with the blogging John Conway and I had done about the issue, and we were identified as the source of the trouble with the New Scientist and Economist papers. I did apologize with them , despite not feeling guilty of any misdemeanor. However, I wanted to have the newspaper write correct physics, but they...
