Today I am filled with deep humility
Plichta writes of this model as follows. "There was a time I used to make fun of the Apocalypse of St John and believed it to be a totally unreliable historical source. Today I am filled with deep humility, perhaps because I am now able to give a concrete description of the foundation of the world as seen by St John with my mathematical discoveries, and thus possibly open a new way to all of humanity which has now reached a dead end."

News and sexually explicit content

06-02-2006 17:55

If I'd used a headline which includes the word's Big Brother I expect most indymedia readers won't bother reading the article thanks to Channel 4 and the likes of gorgeous george. If you read this article and can't find the secually explicit content then trying reading it again. If you've read it twice already and still can't find it, come to the rampART at 8pm SHARP on thursday and you'll get it. Otherwise, turn up late and you'll never know and get a bad seat for the show as well.

As part of a new pilot scheme, Nottingham's 'police support officers' (PCSO's) will be getting powers to 'detain a person for up to 30 minutes to allow for the attendance of a police officer or until the reason for detention no longer applies'.

The sort of offences this covers includes fixed penalty offences such as cycling on the footway, dog fouling and litter; also any offence involving injury, alarm or distress to any other party; the loss of, or damage to, any other person’s property; acting in an anti -social manner including the consumption of alcohol by young people in public places and an order to disperse under Section 30 of the Anti-Social Behaviour Act 2003'.

Infinity drove him mad
Georg Cantor (1845-1918), by his origination of modern set theory and his studies of the nature of infinity, left science a valuable legacy. Cantor was regularly admitted to a psychiatric clinic within the University of Halle, in Germany, where he lectured and worked as a Professor of Mathematics. On each occasion that he became ill he had been thinking about infinity and the continuum hypothesis. Such intense thought, at the boundaries of his comprehension, caused Cantor to suffer repeated mental breakdowns. Infinity drove him mad.
