Lagrange was Wrong, Pascal was Right

Ron was wrong, Whit is right

We performed a sanity check of public keys collected on the web. Our main goal was to test the validity of the assumption that different random choices are made each time keys are generated. We found that the vast majority of public keys work as intended. A more disconcerting finding is that two out of every one thousand RSA moduli that we collected offer no security. Our conclusion is that the...

Was Meduna's theory really wrong?

To the Editors Few treatments in psychiatry were discovered and developed based on a previously developed theory. The therapeutic effects of the first antidepressant and antipsychotic drugs, for example, were serendipitously observed before a theory on how they work was described. By contrast, convulsive therapy was developed in Budapest by Dr. Lazlo Meduna based on facts that led him to forese...

Was Einstein 100% Right ? *

The confrontation between General Relativity and experimental results, notably binary pulsar data, is summarized and its significance discussed. The agreement between experiment and theory is numerically very impressive. However, some recent theoretical findings (existence of non-perturbative strong-field effects, natural cosmological attraction toward zero scalar couplings) suggest that the pr...

Fisher Was Right

Was Sierpinski Right? IV

We prove for any μ = μ < θ < λ, λ large enough (just strongly inaccessible Mahlo) the consistency of 2 = λ → [θ]23 and even 2 μ = λ → [θ]2σ,2 for σ < μ. The new point is that possibly θ > μ. Typed 5/92 (20 , k 2 -Mahlo,λ → [א2]23; some on models) I thank Alice Leonhardt for the beautiful typing. Latest Revision 2012/Oct/24 Revised and Expanded 5/94 based on lectures, Summer ’94, Jerusalem. Part...
