    Tom Swift - young scientist, engineer, inventor

    Tom Swift and Tom Swift Jr. books for young readers (ca. 8-9 to 14-15) are not in publication now, but have a history of over 100 years until recent times. I'd wager that many readers were motivated by the stories and adventures to to become scientists, engineers, and inventors themselves, for...

    B Did Thomas Young Misinterpret His Double Slit Experiment Results?

    https://royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/pdf/10.1098/rstl.1804.0001 is the Bakerian lecture held in 1803 where Young talks of his double slit experiment. It is in fact a single paragraph in a much longer article. His article of 1801, which is often cited as the article in which said experiment is...

    Things should be done while young

    If you experience something early, you have memories of it for the rest of your life, which is very long span. If you experience the same experience later, you have less years to hold the memory. So all else being equal, living the good life while young is better than not. Clearly this could...
