Falling cards By MARVIN

In this study we consider the unsteady separated flow of an inviscid fluid (density ρf ) around a falling flat plate (thickness T , half-chord L, width W , and density ρs) of small thickness and high aspect ratio (T L W ). The motion of the plate, which is initially released from rest, is unknown in advance and is determined as part of the solution. The flow solution is assumed two-dimensional ...

1 Parallelism and Relativity Marvin

A parallel of elementary concepts but non-mathematically obtainable contrasts is described as entailed to all aspects of nature ubiquitously if conceptual pluralisms/dualisms are logically reduced to monisms. In order for active perceptual/conceptual science pursuit to exist with a valid and coherent meaning, conceptually organizable, but non-parametric sameness/equality of some sort must be at...

A Conversation with Marvin Minsky

Hilbert's programs: 1917--1922

Hilbert's finitist program was not created at the beginning of the twenties solely to counteract Brouwer's intuitionism, but rather emerged out of broad philosophical reflections on the foundations of mathematics and out of detailed logical work; that is evident from notes of lecture courses that were given by Hilbert and prepared in collaboration with Bernays during the period from 1917 to 192...
