A New Pyramid-Like Shape Always Lands the Same Side Up | Quanta Magazine A tetrahedron is the simplest Platonic solid. Mathematicians have now made one that’s stable only on one side, confirming a decades-old conjecture.

#Algebra, #JohnConway

Socialist intellectual John Conway challenged others to think differently about the world A major voice within Saskatchewan’s left-wing Waffle movement, the University of Regina professor believed fervently in the importance of access to good education and universal health care

It was a privilege to have had him as a Professor 40+ years ago in the University of Regina. RIP Professor

I am *loving* this animation from @wired.com.

A distinct nod to the #JohnConway #GameOfLife #CellularAutomaton.
