"It is not unreasonable that we grapple with problems. But there are tens of thousands of years in the future. Our responsibility is to do what we can, learn what we can, improve the solutions, and pass them on.” - Richard Feynman
I offer this scientific breakthrough to the Caltech community for a paradigm shift improvement in our understanding of human nature: appreciation of birthday as a profoundly fundamental dimension of our ways of being human because birthday amounts to phase, starting point, on the annual cycle of daily levels of received solar energy in our environment that newly born infants have apparently evolved to respond to with systematic differences in neural development, neural networking patterns and parameters. The need is to rescue birthday from the archaic premises of astrology and develop new notions of what are the birthday traits. Birthdays of the parents are another dimension of human character worthy of study that astrology has ignored. President Rosenbaum calls for Big Ideas. Here's a sorting of human nature like the Periodic Table sorts the elements, a solar compass to navigate the human domain, to help us reason together. Human nature is a circular birthday spectrum and each part should be focused upon and studied individually in Neuroscience. Imaging is one good place to start. Human Engineering is also birthday factor territory. With 50 years' study of birthday I invite the Caltech community, particularly students, to verify my observation that there is typically extra harmony, mutual appreciation, between individuals of birthdays 6 months apart. That circular geometry! This is arguably the best match for friendship, marriage, dorm mates, and faculty-student mentoring. Students can develop ways for such meetups to happen and report if they perceive significantly greater compatibility. Different places on campus could be designated for each complementary birthday combination to meet. There is also to be noted a typical disharmony, annoyance, between individuals of birthdays 3 months apart. Joe Friendly BSEE '60 Caltech
I might have posted my "scientific breakthrough" elsewhere, but as an alum, when I posted it here almost a year ago it made sense to me to make an appeal to the Caltech Community: I thought my reasoning would be appreciated that birthday is such a big deal that we have a solar compass for navigating the human domain. And then I'd be invited to talk with the community of students, teachers, alumni, and even administrators, to share 50 years of study of the birthday factor by struggling to learn the birthday of nearly every human I encountered, in person or in the news, as an anthropologist making observations! Or is it, statistics only, pal, if you want entry thru Science's truth gate. There's the issue. Science as a creature of our culture has its rules, and we don't want guys claiming truth, when the polite requirement is modesty, no posturing as knowing, we want proof! So, I'm challenging that rule, pleading for the Caltech community to be more like family, a sharing of ideas yet to be proven. Science's limitations are wasteful! On my facebook page I've begun a personal narrative arguing the reality of my claim that humans of birthdays 6 months apart are the best match and I offer a couple examples, mere anecdotes, in the celebrity world involving Dolly Parton and Stephen Colbert. Dolly turns out to be married to a guy with a birthday exactly 6 months from hers and their marriage has lasted more than 50 years, and as for Colbert, guess who's exactly 6 months from his birthday? Jon Batiste, the keyboard guy who laughs at his jokes so much. So any invites being considered, like discussions about how to study minds? Either I'm right or wrong, either I've been fooling myself or my impressions, judgments, conclusions are worth serious consideration. - thankfully I'm still alive and perky at 79 and I'm not considered crazy. What's your take on it President Rosenbaum?
A true story. I was using birthday to pick a jury. An Oakland traffic court judge granted my request for a jury trial and let me ask prospective jurors their birthdays. I had managed to pick 6 when a woman sat down in the 7th chair and immediately told the judge she needed to be excused because she had been watching me in action and felt I so reminded her of her own son that she could not be impartial. The judge granted her request and as she got up to leave I asked the judge to learn her birthday and he ordered her to tell. She responded July 27 and I informed the court it's my mother's birthday.
I am interested in application of vibration and wrote a book about similarity between undamped forced vibration and financial leverage or operating leverage, in Japan.
Dr. Rosenbaum’s premise that nature cannot be modeled adequately by classical physics but possibly might be modeled by quantum physics is noteworthy with regard to the current state of climate science. My understanding is that climate models are entirely driven by classical physics. Another problem in climate science is its interface with computer technology. My impression is that the computer technology and the databases are not adequate to solve the problems on which they are being applied. These shortcomings together explain why climate models have largely failed to successfully predict long-term changes in climate. Nevertheless, climate scientists continue to churn out results and politicians and the media continue to run with them, probably in the wrong direction. Solving the climate change conundrum before the world wastes trillions of dollars running in the wrong direction would seem to qualify as a big, unsolved problem that might warrant Caltech’s interest. The challenge is to have the freedom to carry out such a project without interference from any outside sources, including the funding sources. The emphasis on diversity deserves a comment. Diversity does not equal excellence. Rather, meritocracy equals excellence. Excellence will attract diversity. Color-blind and need-blind are policies.

Do you have any Study's in #VortexBasedMathematics I love Tesla as well.
Thankyou
