Formula for love, echoes of Y2K, Taylor Swift's CPU and more
Six STEM Tweets
Six tweets that celebrate engineering and all things STEM.
I scroll so you don’t have to.
Thanks for the feedback and the suggestions for topics to include in this newsletter.
Loved this reply from JC for the April 28 issue:
The alphabet from above was a brain opener, and Why we have to study Math at School? answered superbly...

🆕 The Horsehead Nebula as you've never seen it before...
The NASA/ESA/CSA James #Webb Space Telescope has captured the sharpest infrared images to date of one of the most distinctive objects in our skies, showing a part of the iconic nebula in unprecedented spatial resolution.

This is stunning! More details and photos are at the ESA website.
The James Webb telescope is an international partnership between NASA, ESA and the Canadian Space Agency (CSA) and one of humanity’s finest engineering achievements.

What do you think? Is there an algebra of love? Or is it one of the few things not connected to math?

American Airlines unwilling to fix their booking system to accommodate passengers aged 100 or more is an example of “what % of people does this bug affect? Oh, below 0.05% so it’s low priority.”
But it’s a damn important sub-0.05%: people who need assistance but don’t get it:

She is a great sport! But didn’t we learn anything from Y2K? 🤦

Mathematics is finding interesting puzzles and solving them
Physics is looking at the solution to the most interesting puzzle there ever was and trying to figure out how nature did it

Folks were impressed when Taylor Swift released 31 songs on her latest (double) album. But that’s because she was using a vintage 5-bit computer. Imagine if she had access to a full byte - 255 songs! 🫢
That’s it for this issue.
