20. yüzyıla damga vurmuş, varoluşçu felsefenin öncülerinden, Nobel Edebiyat Ödülü sahibi Albert Camus, 104 yıl evvel bugün doğmuştu.

Suratsız ya da ciddi birinin en çok güldüğü kişi olmak, sınırları olan birinin sırlarını anlattığı kişi olmak, sinirli birinin hiç kızamadığı kişi olmak. Bazı sevgiler zaaftır.

Hemen girişte sizi Kemal’in sekiz yılda saklayıp biriktirdiği Füsun’a ait 4213 adet sigara izmariti karşılıyor. [..] “Kemal yaşamış, hatırlamış, hayal etmiş ve bana anlatmıştı. Ben Orhan, yalnızca yazıyordum.”

''Ben felsefeye inanıyorum.''

AGORA (2009) O, tarihin gördüğü en etkileyici ve ilgi çekici kadınlardan biriydi. Hem belinden aşağıya kadar uzanan sarı saçlarıyla göz kamaştıracak, nefes kesecek kadar güzel, hem de adını matematikçi, filozof ve astronom olarak tarihe yazdıracak kadar zeki bir kadın. Ve ne trajiktir ki ölümüyle bile unutulmayacak bir kadın. Üzerine çullanan onlarca erkeğin darbeleriyle son nefesini veren, cesedi sokaklarda sürüklenip, eti kemiklerinden midye kabukları yardımıyla ayrılan ama ne olursa olsun tarihin unutulmazları arasına giren bir kadın. Yani 45 yaşındayken bu dünyadan göçüp giden İskenderiyeli Hypatia.

“bu bir pipo değildir”

nasıl ki: “bir şeyin sadece adını bilmek, “bilmek” değildir.“ bu resim de bi pipo değil, piponun görüntüsüdür.

Nobel ödüllü fizikçi Richard Feynman hayatının bir bölümünde çizimle ilgilenmiş hatta Ofey takma adıyla bir sergi açmıştır.

I, a universe of atoms, an atom in the Universe

A poem by Richard Feynman in his address to the National Academy of Sciences: There are the rushing waves mountains of molecules each stupidly minding its own business trillions apart yet forming white surf in unison Ages on ages before any eyes could see year after year thunderously pounding the shore as now. For whom, for what? On a dead planet with no life to entertain. Never at rest tortured by energy wasted prodigiously by the Sun poured into space. A mite makes the sea roar. Deep in the sea all molecules repeat the patterns of one another till complex new ones are formed. They make others like themselves and a new dance starts. Growing in size and complexity living things masses of atoms DNA, protein dancing a pattern ever more intricate. Out of the cradle onto dry land here it is standing: atoms with consciousness; matter with curiosity. Stands at the sea, wonders at wondering: I a universe of atoms an atom in the Universe.

I am devastated. I have been staring at my screen for a while now, I just don’t have the words for this. I feel like I lost a good friend. And I know that sounds stupid because how can you say that about someone you didn’t even really know personally? I don’t get it either, all I know is that my heart is broken. I never felt understood, until Chester started singing. I went through some horrible stuff he went through as well and I just.. felt connected to him. And now he’s gone. I’m so sorry. I hope his family and friends get to heal from this terrible loss. I hope he is finally at peace with himself. I tried to make something special for him and for the rest of the band. I made a photoset of every chorus of the new album. I hope you guys like it. I know I’m not the best editor, but it was really made from the heart. Rest in peace Chester.

― A Brief History of Time (1991) Hawking: How real is time? Will it ever come to an end? Why do we remember the past but not the future? Where does the difference between the past and the future come from?

Farewell, Mr Hawking. I’ll always look up.

I’m, I’m at my capacity, 

“The most remarkable discovery in all of astronomy is that the stars are made of atoms of the same kind as those on the earth. 

How I’m rushing through this! How much each sentence in this brief story contains. “The stars are made of the same atoms as the earth.” 

Poets say science takes away from the beauty of the stars—mere globs of gas atoms. Nothing is “mere.” I too can see the stars on a desert night, and feel them. But do I see less or more? The vastness of the heavens stretches my imagination—stuck on this carousel my little eye can catch one-million-year-old light. A vast pattern—of which I am a part—perhaps my stuff was belched from some forgotten star, as one is belching there. 

Or see them with the greater eye of Palomar, rushing all apart from some common starting point when they were perhaps all together. 

What is the pattern, or the meaning, or the why? It does not do harm to the mystery to know a little about it. For far more marvelous is the truth than any artists of the past imagined! Why do the poets of the present not speak of it? What men are poets who can speak of Jupiter if he were like a man, but if he is an immense spinning sphere of methane and ammonia must be silent?”

- Richard Feynman

Baseball And The Atom Bomb

“Moe Berg, who left baseball in 1939, and was eager to get involved in the war effort, was appointed to Project Larson, part of Alsos and hence connected with the OSS. Berg was sent to Italy to speak with Italian scientists and find out what he could. Then, when the Alsos mission learned that Heisenberg would be speaking in Zurich in December 1944, Berg was issued a pistol and a cyanide capsule.

Berg blended right in with the audience listening to Heisenberg’s lecture. What a relief that the talk had nothing to do with nuclear weapons or even nuclear energy, but was rather about quantum matrices and other physics topics without a clear nuclear connection. Attracting no suspicion, Berg left the talk and returned to the United States, reporting that he found no evidence of German progress.

Later in life, Berg was offered the Presidential Medal of Freedom for his heroic efforts, the highest honor the United States can award a civilian. But for unstated reasons, Berg declined the honor. He remains the only major league baseball player whose card is on display at the CIA’s headquarters.”

When it comes to the history of the world, there are few developments that were more critical than the allied development of the atomic bomb during World War II… and the failure of the Nazi regime to do so. In hindsight, it became clear that the Nazis were quite far from weaponizing nuclear fission, but with scientists like Werner Heisenberg and Otto Hahn on board, the danger was clear and apparent to all. Yet World War II also saw the beginnings of what would become the US Central Intelligence Agency, and one of their first field agents was Moe Berg, a former major league baseball catcher. This average-at-best baseball player spoke many languages fluently, joined the Office of Strategic Services (OSS), and almost assassinated Heisenberg in 1944!

Come take a dive into this fascinating and mostly-forgotten bit of history, thanks to the incredible writing and researching of Paul Halpern!

 "Now, I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds.“

Robert Oppenheimer did not say this when he witnessed the culmination of the Trinity Project but instead said in a television interview that he was reminded at the time of the line from the ancient scripture. But of course it is much better to imagine him whispering it in quiet awe.

We knew the world would not be the same. A few people laughed, a few people cried, most people were silent. I remembered the line from the Hindu scripture, the Bhagavad-Gita. Vishnu is trying to persuade the Prince that he should do his duty and to impress him takes on his multi-armed form and says, “Now, I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds.” I suppose we all thought that one way or another. -J. Robert Oppenheimer
