|content=1/ APRIL FOOL'S SCIENCE: A proposal. | |||
Already bored of the coming "April Fools' Day!" pranks? Same here. And it's still March! | |||
Consider how we might re-purpose this resource for science. What if 1 day a year, we explored big ideas that'd normally result in professional shunning? | |||

|content=2/ When I was around 16-17, I learned of a story that fascinated me much more than it seemed to captivate any other mathematician or physicist. It was the story of the discovery of the "Wu-Yang" dictionary around 1975-6, involving 3 super-minds: [[Jim Simons]], [[CN Yang]] & [[Isadore Singer|Is Singer]]. | |content=2/ When I was around 16-17, I learned of a story that fascinated me much more than it seemed to captivate any other mathematician or physicist.

|content=9/ I spoke on this nearly 5 years ago; I have been slow to get back to it as I found the physics response bewildering. I have now decided to return to this work & to disposition it. So over the coming year, I'll begin pushing out "Geometric Unity" (as a non-physicist) to experts. | |content=9/ I spoke on this nearly 5 years ago; I have been slow to get back to it as I found the physics response bewildering.
