which best shows some explosive release of gas and magnetic fields from the many feedback events at the centre of massive halos in this portion of the universe.

It seems clear now that a major problem with much #academia #research is it stays confined within a box of definitional assumptions about what #physics, #quantum mechanics, #science, etc. are without ever asking a critical question:

"What's outside this box?!"

Happy birthday Edwin T. Jaynes, champion of sound physics & probability theory! 🎂 🚀 🎓

I find his text still the most illuminating about probability theory: <https://doi.org/10.1017/CBO9780511790423>

And also still a classic in statistical mechanics: <https://doi.org/10.1103/RevModPhys.34.143>

Want an energetic start to the day? Watch this cover of Jimi Hendrix's song Fire, with all the original music except that Mitch Mitchell's awesome drum part is played by Sina Döring, a young woman from Germany:

She is amazing!

The lyrics to Fire have an interesting origin. Noel Redding, bass player for the Experience, invited Hendrix to his mother's house on a cold New Year's Eve in Folkestone, England, after a performance. Hendrix asked Noel's mother if he could stand next to her fireplace to warm himself. This became "let me stand next to your fire". She agreed, but her German Shepherd was in the way, so Hendrix let out with, "Aw, move over, Rover, and let Jimi take over."

At least that's what they say!
