The Red Line is Also Curved.
Because it is Drawn on a Sphere...
The Earth!

"If the cosmos were suddenly frozen, and all movement ceased, a survey of its structure would not reveal a random distribution of parts. Simple geometrical patterns, for example, would be found in profusion — from the spirals of galaxies to the hexagonal shapes of snow crystals. Set the clockwork going, and its parts move rhythmically to laws that often can be expressed by equation of surprising simplicity. And there is no logical or a priori reason why these things should be so."

— Martin Gardner, "Order and Surprise," 1985

French mathematician, physicist, and philosopher Sophie Germain (1776-1831). She obtained education from books in her father's library and from correspondence with mathematicians like Lagrange, Legendre, and Gauss, despite early resistance from her parents and challenges posed by society. She was a leader in the field of elasticity theory and received the top honor from the Paris Academy of Sciences for her article on the subject. Her work on Fermat's Last Theorem laid the groundwork for mathematicians to continue studying it for hundreds of years. She was unable to pursue a profession in mathematics due to discrimination against her sex, yet she worked independently all of her life. Before her death, Gauss had recommended that she be awarded an honorary degree, but that never occurred.

Do you think there will ever be a machine that will think like human beings and be more intelligent than human beings?

What is your take on this?

Let us read Richard Feynman’s Answer:

"First of all, do they think like human beings? I would say no and I’ll explain in a minute why I say no.
Second, for "whether they be more intelligent than human beings" to be a question, intelligence must first be defined. If you were to ask me are they better chess players than any human
 being? Possibly can be, yes, "I'll get you, some day".

-Richard Feynman"

We used to go to the School Library in Chico to use the internet. We had fun if there was an unused terminal...

I watched the students working together in groups of five on one terminal... I wished that I was a college student studying computer science like they were... Then, years later my dream came true at Humboldt State University...

We used the site Michael's Cosmic Kitchen for song lyrics and chords... He had a lot of classic rock songs. We also used OLGA which was an ancient guitar sharing service from pre internet days... like "The Well" or "Prodigy". OLGA is an acronym that stands for On Line Guitar Archive. People would submit lyrics and chords in text-only form to a users group... The results of that Usenet News group was uploaded to a web page by archivists. I also used the college's Photoshop program to do abstract art..                                                                                                                                                                     
 It was an era when we had intermittent connection using AOL disks. We would use their free trial, end service and then they would send us another free trial... It was a game we played for about a year... using free trials, disconnecting and then being given another chance...
