August 2, 2016 Tuesday



Today we (my father, Bits and I) were in the Kalachowky Police Station
for over 2 hours.

We wanted to file an FIR against the builder Ramniklal Veera for violating
the MOFA act which is a cognizable offence with up to 3 years of
imprisonment.

We also filed a complaint against the still ongoing nefarious activities of the
builder like sabotaging the crucial CCTV cameras, employing his staff to spy 
on us etc. 

We came to know that there is another accused, the sixth guy called
Sajan who will have his hearing in the sessions court for his bail.

Sanjay Ramniklal Veera is footing the bills for the lawyers of all these
accused.

In fact, obviously enough, they all have the same lawyer.  



Bedtime Story

After his sojourn in Berlin, Wigner returned to Budapest to work in his father's tannery.

Somehow and somewhere from there, he returned to Berlin joining the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute working first under Karl Weissenberg and later under Richard Becker.

There he explored quantum mechanics of Erwin Schrödinger and group theory (founded by the genius Evariste Galois who was obsessed with polynomials equations and their solutions).

At the age of 25, in 1927, in Germany somewhere he introduced the group theory into quantum mechanics.

He published it formally in 1931 at the age of 29:
"Group Theory and Its Application to the Quantum Mechanics of Atomic Spectra."

He soon thereafter introduced symmetries (rotations, translations, and CPT- charge parity and time reversal symmetry) into quantum mechanics.

He formulated and proved a theorem which became the cornerstone of the mathematical formulations of quantum mechanics.

Sadly I am not a mathematician and I really have no understanding of mathematical formalism and its applications to quantum mechanics.

Wigner was so impressed with the usefulness of abstract mathematics in nuclear physics and quantum mechanics that he went on to write a landmark article in 1960 titled:

"The Unreasonable Effectiveness of Mathematics in the Natural Sciences".

In 1930, Princeton University recruited both Jeno Pal Wigner and Janos Von Neumann at 7 times the salary they were drawing in Europe.

Both these geniuses anglicized their first names to "Eugene" and "John" respectively and soon thereafter became naturalized citizens of the United States.

So it was this Eugene Wigner who had coined the term "magic numbers" which we need to go back to.

Good night mon ami and my fellow cousin ape.
