Out of many quotes by Richard Feynman , Tommaso Dorigo picked a 1965 statement printed in the July 22nd 1985 issue of People Magazine: Hel...

Scientists are plagued by a number of questions regarding ancient times. One of the most perplexing is how the ancient Egyptians moved the huge stones needed to build the pyramids. The stones were often as much as 2.5 tons, and without the assistance of modern…

The Great Pyramid at Giza—the oldest and most intact of the seven ancient wonders of the ancient world—became a potent symbol of the sublime in the 19th century, a symbol of power so absolute as to eclipse human understanding.

This technique was named after Richard Feynman: a Nobel Prize winning physicist. In his biography on Richard Feynman, James Gleick said that Richard would create a journal for the things he did not know. His discipline in challenging his own understanding…

Sheer coincidence. The ratio of height to the base of the Pyramid of Khufu at Giza is very, very close to pi. It’s about 0.03% off. That sounds impressive when considered in isolation, but not so much if you back up a bit and look at other Egyptia...

This article discusses the myth of the learning pyramid; providing anecdotes and research to dispel the myth.

Or: Plus ça change, plus c’est la meme chose Starring the “Mellow rats in pyramids”, with walk-ons for the late Jacques Benveniste (boo), Richard Feynman (science guru Nobel prize winne…

I have a few simple questions about Feynman Diagrams:

Why, when $W^+$ or $W^-$ bosons are involved, sometimes the sign + or - is shown and sometimes not (example1, example2)?
Why the arrow is usua...

Few days ago, we had discussed about the exciting world of mind-mapping, a technique which can be used to solve problems and innovate over new ideas: Although mind-maps can be used for the purpose …

A new method is described to produce useful electrical energy from DC electrostatic fields using a pyramid-shaped capacitor. The system uses no moving parts and no mechanical energy is introduced. Also, when a pyramid-shaped electrode is charged with DC high…
