Feigenbaum dead

[Witness]

Interesting bio:

Mitchell Feigenbaum, Physicist, Dies at 74; He Made Sense of Chaos

Which you can read here: https://www.nytimes.com/2019/07/18/scie ... -dead.html.

To mathematicians (and perhaps physicists) he's known for his discovery of the "Feigenbaum constant(s)" or ratio(s): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feigenbaum_constants.

I presume he is Jewish. Which conjures up the Nazi notion of "Jewish Physics" as opposed to "Aryan Physics". Some discussion here

All of which brings to mind

Forget the terms Nazi and Fascist, there are those that KNOW and take it as an affront if you do not agree. Generally they don't have power, occasionally they do. Then you should be afraid.

Afraid? No. Resist.

And about those 'Nazi physicists': They were either too frightened for their own welfare or too deluded to see the truth of the situation. Either way, (heh heh), Not True Physicists(tm).

Alas, nobody's perfect.
