History neatly provides some fine examples where the quest for simplicity to explain the complex is a sure sign of human achievement/intelligence.
I will mention only three such instances: a) The quest among the world's best physicists to complete the standard model which is a generalisation attempting to explain the interactions between particles. b) The quest to unify the forces of nature. Maxwell's equations are a nice example that unify the magnetic force and the electrical force. c) The De Broglie equation which he proposed for his PHD thesis. This simple, yet powerful equation, unifies the particle's nature with the particle's quantum mechanical wave nature. Maybe we come from different worlds. I am one who is fascinated by simplicity that successfully explains the more general and more complex. Others may be fascinated by the details and their inter-relationships. -- Those who abuse me will be banned immediately from my email account. Here, I am communicating with supposedly intelligent adults who are responsible for their actions. _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
