Alan Turing's masterpiece from his later years. A complete coverage of the astounding mechanisms of animal stripes and geometric patterns emerging from reaction-diffusion equations, from linear stability analysis to numerical simulation in Python, all the way to modern molecular biology.
From the Nautilus to the Virginia class. Thermal-hydraulic design of pressurized water reactors (PWR), steam turbines and reduction gears, extreme engineering of natural circulation and stealth quietness.
“Spooky action at a distance” and the EPR paradox. The trajectory to the Nobel Prize, Bell's theorem, and Aspect's experiment that proved the breakdown of local realism.
Liquid helium climbing walls with zero viscosity, the fountain effect, and the topology of quantum vortices. The marvel of BEC where bosons degenerate into a single wavefunction.
From 'points' to 'strings' as elementary particles. The compactification of extra dimensions using Calabi-Yau manifolds, and the current state of the ultimate theory integrating gravity and quantum theory.

A miracle 100 years after Einstein's prediction. The incredible measurement precision of LIGO/Virgo/KAGRA and the future of multi-messenger astronomy.
The history of mathematics surrounding the planar map coloring problem. From Kempe's false proof to Appel & Haken's first-ever computer proof, and the redefinition of mathematical 'beauty'.
A world-renowned theory founded by Shun-ichi Amari. A bridge to the Fisher information metric, natural gradient descent, and machine learning that geometrizes the space of probability distributions.
The negative energy solutions predicted by the Dirac equation. The discovery of the positron, pair production and annihilation, and the cosmology of 'why only matter remained'.
L1/L2/L3 cache hierarchies, cache lines, MESI state transitions, the tragedy of False Sharing, and memory consistency models.
Herbert O. Yardley and MI-8. The decryption of Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs codes at the Washington Naval Treaty, the closure triggered by Stimson's 'Gentlemen do not read each other's mail,' and the lineage to the NSA.
Collect all the books of the world. The miracle of the Museion, Eratosthenes and Archimedes, the fate of papyrus scrolls, the myth of destruction, and the transfer of knowledge to the Middle Ages.
