Rabbit Holes: Manhattan Project

  working on a presentation about the manhattan project. will keep adding stuff I find in the web. If you know more/better resources do add here! :) thank you this is just a list of links for now. Will write about it in detail later. From left to right: Kenneth Bainbridge, Joseph Hoffman, Robert Oppenheimer, Louis Hempelmann, Robert Bacher, Victor Weisskopf and Richard Dodson.   Nuclear Science for the Manhattan Project and Comparison toToday’s ENDF Data Arthur Compton’s 1941 Report on explosive fission of U-235: A look at the physics On the Origins of Lagrangian Hydrodynamic Methods Critical Assemblies: Dragon Burst Assembly and Solution Assemblies Criticality Experiments with Fast  235 U and  239 Pu Metal and Hydride Systems During the Manhattan Project The Trinity High-Explosive Implosion System: The Foundation for Precision Explosive Applications Neutronics Calculation Advances at Los Alamos: Manhattan Project to Monte Carlo https://bpb-us-e1.wpmucdn.com/sites.mi...

Rabbit Holes : Demis Hassabis

Just watched Demis Hassabis on Lex Fridman's channel! Lex always brings on amazing guests, and I love how the internet makes these conversations accessible. Demis Hassabis: Future of AI, Simulating Reality, Physics and Video Games | Lex Fridman Podcast #475 Continuing my Rabbit Hole series that I started with Terence Tao's podcast, I'll share my online journey as I try to understand these complex topics. I'll document all the websites and pages I visit, and since learning is an ongoing process, I'll keep updating my findings. The topics I'll be exploring were generally discussed in the video in the order they appear.(if I missed something cool do tell me) How Far is Video Generation from World Model? https://deepmind.google/models/veo/ https://openai.com/index/video-generation-models-as-world-simulators/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P_versus_NP_problem Protein Folding Thermodynamics and Dynamics:  Where Physics, Chemistry, and Biology Meet ATP synthase Introduc...

Rabbit Holes : Terence Tao

Just watched one of the greatest mathematicians, Terence Tao on Lex Fridman's channel! Lex always brings on amazing guests, and I love how the internet makes these conversations accessible. Terence Tao: Hardest Problems in Mathematics, Physics & the Future of AI | Lex Fridman Podcast #472 I took a lot of notes during the video and it gave me an idea: I want to start a series called "Rabbit Holes." In this series, I'll share my online journey as I try to understand these complex topics. I'll document all the websites and pages I visit, and since learning is an ongoing process, I'll keep updating my findings. I'm not a mathematician, so if you have any better resources for the topics I'll cover, please share them in the comments!(hope this helps out other people and also makes them interested in maths)  The topics I'll be exploring were generally discussed in the video in the order they appear.(if I missed something cool do tell me)         Speak...
