      I am thankful for the beauty of mathematics and physics, which always go deeper than I expect. For example, Hamilton's equations describe the motion of a particle if you know its energy. But they turn out to look a lot like Maxwell's relations in thermodynamics! (continued)pic.twitter.com/Lc4OXaXC2s

      Today I am enriched with this (new for me) vision of yours. I watched your (5,8,27) videos, that are delightful, penetrating and thought provoking and you, delivering them in a passionate way, wondering, deep inside you, how much more beauty they are hiding!

      I'm glad you liked them! There's a lot more to these numbers 5, 8 and 24 - I just scratched the surface. I would like to write papers about them someday.pic.twitter.com/jjeV2LBbW8

      Yes! A slip... while thinking of the other beauty, all primes (except the lower ones) squared are multiples of 24 plus 1. Write anything that pleases you, whenever it pleases you, we are all ears!

      That's a cool fact, which is related to fancy things about the number 24 leading up to the Monster group. I don't fully understand why. It's on Wikipedia, where they point out a nice consequence: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/24_(number) …

      I hope you'll also take time at some point to share with us your thoughts about 7, 3, 1 and 11, 5, 2. Lots of fascinating stuff there.

          Good choice! No doubt your deliberations on the subject will be very profound.
