Simon explaining the Nash Equilibrium with a little game in p5.js. Play it yourself at: https://editor.p5js.org/simontiger/sketches/lfP4dKGCs Inspired by TedEd video Why do competitors open their stores next to one another? … Continue reading Nash Equilibrium
In October and early November, Simon was busy with another attempt to simulate SAP-1 (simple as possible processor, an 8-bit computer) in Circuitverse (something that he hadn’t managed to complete … Continue reading More Engineering. RAM Ready in the simulated 8-bit computer project in Circuitverse.
This one’s back from mid-October, forgot to post here. Simon created a random number generator that generates a frequency, and then picks it back up. Then, it calculates the error … Continue reading Simon’s Random Number Generator
Simon’s way to celebrate Helloween: a little demo about how red marker reflects red LED light and becomes invisible. A nice trick in the dark! We also had so much … Continue reading Vanishing Letters
Guess who was in town in mid-October? The amazing Vladimir Krasnoukhov, a one-of-kind puzzles inventor from Russia! (I know, I should’ve written about this earlier, but I’ve been lagging behind … Continue reading The Puzzle Man is Back!
In the Foil Etching experiment we had copper burn a whole in the aluminium foil. As you can see, aluminum Al is much more reactive than copper Cu, but nothing … Continue reading MEL Chemistry Experiments: Foil Etching, Magnetizing Magnesium, Metal Contest
The most important experience was actually simply to see how huge the Large Hadron Collider is. We totally didn’t expect the site of every experiment on the 27km ring to … Continue reading CERN Open Days September 14 – 15, 2019
How he designed and made it:
This is the text of the mini-lecture on Supersymmetry that CERN Research Physicist, CMS supersymmetry group convener and Deputy LHC Programme Coordinator Filip Moortgat kindly gave us during our visit … Continue reading Supersymmetry: Why do we need the Future Circular Collider?
A real victory for Simon, who has had a bit of a fear of heights for years. But what he found most impressive were the noticeable changes in gravity while … Continue reading On top of The Shard, the tallest building in the EU
