Amazing that natural selection can engineer such intricately patterned instincts, and amazing that it can squeeze so much behavioural complexity into such a tiny brain.

The Mandelbrot set, a cosmic fingerprint, infinitely complex yet emerging from a simple equation. Might it suggest that beauty and mystery can emerge from even the most basic foundations? By Trips, linktr.ee/lukas_trips, Used with permission.

Paul Dirac was so famously laconic that his colleagues joked about "a Dirac" being a unit of silence.

The discrimination between cause and effect depends on time's arrow and can only be settled by reference to entropy. - The Nature of the Physical World (1928) by Arthur Eddington

Mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan discovered nearly 4,000 theorems and equations, unique and groundbreaking. Some of his results were so advanced that they were not proven until decades after his death. He also anticipated some concepts that later became part of modern
