Science often isn’t a bold “Eureka!,” a shout that that is loudly proclaimed after decades of painstaking research. Rather, many times, it begins with a “Huh, that’s funny,” and it ends someplace ...

If robots do take over one day, humans may be obliged to celebrate all sorts of holidays dedicated to mathematical constants that interest our AI overlords. For now we mark only a few such days, ...
