En el día exacto en que se emitió este programa se cumplieron 35 años del lanzamiento del Telescopio Espacial Hubble, uno de los instrumentos científicos más exitosos y populares de la historia. Alberto Aparici nos habla de las cosas que hicieron tan especial al Hubble: para empezar, que es el único telescopio espacial diseñado para poder ser reparado en órbita. También de su "historia de superación", ya que salió de la fábrica con un defecto de visión que, gracias a esta característica tan peculiar, pudo ser reparado tres años después. Por su parte, Santi García Cremades nos habla sobre cómo la astronomía inspiró un avance espectacular en matemáticas: el descubrimiento de Ceres, el planeta enano que está instalado en el cinturón de asteroides, llevó a Carl Friedrich Gauss a inventar el *ajuste por mínimos cuadrados*, una técnica que todos los científicos aprendemos a día de hoy en la universidad.

En el programa de esta semana celebramos el Día Mundial de las Matemáticas, que se conmemora todos los años el 14 de marzo: ¡el Día de Pi! Recordamos a Carl Friedrich Gauss, matemático alemán del siglo XIX que destacó por su inusual capacidad para pensar de forma diferente; era, digamos, un artista del pensamiento matemático. Recordamos también a Leonardo Bonacci, matemático italiano de la Edad Media, que vivió a caballo entre los siglos XII y XIII y que hoy es recordado fundamentalmente por la sucesión que lleva su nombre: 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13... Pero ¿a cuenta de qué ideó Fibonacci esa sucesión? Nos lo cuenta hoy Santi García Cremades. Alberto Aparici, por su parte, toma también como excusa el 14 de marzo, que es el día en que murió Stephen Hawking, y nos habla sobre su aportación más importante: clarificar y ampliar la física de los agujeros negros. Hawking formó parte de la primera generación de científicos que se tomó en serio que los agujeros negros podían existir, y dedicó mucho tiempo a tratar de entender cuáles eran sus propiedades físicas, dado que son objetos muy exóticos porque nada puede salir de ellos. Por el camino hizo el sorprendente descubrimiento de que los agujeros negros no son eternos, sino que van evaporándose poco a poco, emitiendo un "viento" de partículas a las que hoy llamamos *radiación de Hawking*. Si queréis profundizar en las contribuciones científicas de Hawking podéis encontrar varios episodios dedicados a él en nuestro pódcast hermano, La Brújula de la Ciencia. Son los capítulos s07e30, que emitimos con motivo de su fallecimiento, s02e11 y s05e19. Este programa se emitió originalmente el 13 de marzo de 2025.

(NOTAS COMPLETAS Y ENLACES DEL CAPÍTULO AQUÍ: https://www.jaimerodriguezdesantiago.com/kaizen/184-la-utilidad-de-lo-inutil/)¿Es o no maravilloso este fragmento de una entrevista al escritor Álvaro Cunqueiro? El saber está comenzando a ser considerado en todas partes, no como un bien en sí mismo, sino como un medio. No nos gusta pensar que alguien esté disfrutando de la vida, sin más, por mucho que sea ese disfrute. Sentimos que todo el  mundo debería estar haciendo algo útil. Y no hay duda de que el conocimiento «útil« es muy útil. Ese conocimiento ha hecho el mundo moderno. Sin él no tendríamos máquinas, ni automóviles, ni trenes, ni aviones. Aunque tampoco publicidad, ni propaganda. Ese conocimiento moderno ha supuesto una mejora increíble en la salud y, a la vez, nos ha enseñado cómo borrar ciudades enteras del mapa con una bomba. Todo lo que distingue a nuestro mundo del de tiempos pasados tiene su origen en el conocimiento «útil». Y aunque seguramente parezca que estoy hablando de nuestros días, esto que te acabo de decir es casi literalmente, lo que decía Bertrand Russell al principio de aquel texto que cita Cunqueiro. Y que fue escrito en 1935. En aquel artículo, Russell defendía el valor del conocimiento que nos parece inútil. Decía que podía llevarnos a una vida más rica y a tener un mayor sentido de propósito; que podía hacer que las cosas desagradables lo fueran un poco menos, y que las agradables lo fueran más. Además de que, ese conocimiento que hoy nos parece inútil, puede ser muy útil mañana. Y es que, en el fondo, de lo que hablaba Russell era de la importancia de la curiosidad intelectual y del placer de aprender por aprender. Y de eso, precisamente, vamos a hablar un poco hoy, sin demasiado rumbo, en otro de esos capítulos de ideas a medio conectar que me salen de vez en cuando, sea o no útil. ¿Te gusta kaizen?

Foundations of Amateur Radio
Will the real inventor of Morse code please stand?

Foundations of Amateur Radio

Foundations of Amateur Radio Morse code is a way for people to send information across long distances. The code we use today, made from dit and dah elements is nothing like the code demonstrated and attributed to Samuel Morse in 1837. Over years and with assistance from Professor of Chemistry Leonard Gail and Physicist Joseph Henry, then Professor of Literature, Samuel Morse, and mechanically minded Alfred Vail developed an electrical telegraph system that automatically moved a paper tape and used an electromagnet to pull a stylus into the paper and a spring to retract it, marking the paper with lines. The original system was only intended to transmit numbers, and combined with a dictionary, the operator could decode the message. The telegraph was able to send zig-zag and straight lines, transmitting the message "Successful experiment with telegraph September 4 1837". The system was enhanced to include letters, making it much more versatile. On the 6th of January 1838, across 4.8 km of wire, strung across a barn, the new design with letters and numbers was demonstrated. To optimise the enhanced version of the code, Alfred Vail went to his local newspaper in Morristown, New Jersey, to count the movable type he found in the compositor's type-cases, and assigned shorter sequences to the most common letters. You might think that this explains the distribution of the codes we see today, but you'd be wrong. The 1838 system used four different element lengths and varied the spacing inside a character. For example, the letter "o" was signified by two dits with a two unit space between them, where today it's represented by three dahs. The letter "p" was signified by five dits, today this represents the number "5", and the code didn't distinguish between "i" and "y", between "g" and "j", and between "s" and "z". A decade later and an ocean away in Germany, writer, journalist, and musician Friedrich Gerke created the Hamburg alphabet, based on the work by Vail and Morse, it standardised the length of the elements and spacing into what we use today, the dit and the dah. He changed about half of the characters and also incorporated four special German characters, the umlaut version of A, O and U and the CH sound - pronounced like the sound for the composer "Bach" or the Dutch name "Benschop" - not to be confused with the CH in child, or the CK in clock, or the SH sound in shop. It was different in other ways. For example, the letter "i" and "j" had the same code. The code was optimised to be more robust across undersea telegraph cables. I'll be coming back to that before we're done exploring, but not today. If you want to skip ahead, the term you're looking for is dispersion. Gerke's code was adopted in 1851 across Germany and Austria and it is known as Continental Morse code. By the time most of Gerke's code was adopted as the European Standard in 1865 as one of many agreements that mark the founding of the International Telegraph Union in Paris, only four sequences of the original 1838 code remained and only two of those, "e" and "h" were identical. Which means that although the idea that Morse code is based around English is often repeated, at this stage it's nothing more than a myth, which my previous word list and subsequent dictionary letter counts across over fifty languages confirm. I'll mention that given Gerke's German heritage, I also made a letter count from a modern German dictionary and one from 1901 and found that the letter distribution in those two are very similar with only the letter "s" and "t" swapped between position four and five in the popularity contest stakes. The German letter Top-5 is "enrts" and the "o" is the 16th most popular letter. Speaking of "o", one observation to make is that the new International Morse code contained the letter "o" as dah-dah-dah, it also contained the letter "p" as dit-dah-dah-dit. These two codes come from an 1849 telegraph code designed by physicist, inventor, engineer and astronomer Carl August von Steinheil. There is evidence suggesting that he invented a print telegraph and matching dot script in 1836, based around positive and negative pulses, rather than pulse duration. I'm purposely skipping over earlier telegraph systems built and used by Carl Friedrich Gauss, Wilhelm Edward Weber, and Steinheil, only because we're talking about Morse code, not the telegraph. The 1865 ITU standard for International Morse code includes several accented letters, symbols for semi-colon, exclamation mark, chevrons and several control codes and both normal and short forms for numbers which merge all the dahs in any digit into a single dah. Many of these codes are not part of the official standard today. I'll point out that over time, experienced telegraph operators learnt to decode dits and dahs based on sound alone, negating the need for paper. This translates directly into how we experience Morse in our hobby today, by tone only. There is a much more detailed explanation on how the telegraph evolved in a book by Russel W. Burns called: "Communications: An International History of the Formative Years". Fair warning, there are many claims and counterclaims, including the possibility that someone else entirely, Harrison Gray Dyar, a Chemist, invented an electrochemical telegraph, using chemically treated paper to make marks, dits and dahs, and demonstrated it between 1826 and 1828 near a race track on Long Island. I'm mentioning this because Samuel Morse is often attributed as the source of all things telegraphy, but the reality appears to be much more nuanced and, unsurprisingly, there are conflicting accounts depending on the source, including acceptance and repudiation that Alfred Vail was the inventor of what we now call Morse code.

In today's episode we will take a deep dive into the topic of Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM). SLAM is a method used for autonomous vehicles such as AMRs in logistics for example that lets you build a map and localize your vehicles in that map at the same time. SLAM algorithms allow vehicles to map out unknown environments. It's one of those things we should all know about in more detail in order to understand how autonomous vehicles in logistics are able to do what they do. Today's guest is a leading expert in the field of SLAM. Cyrill Stachniss is a full professor at the University of Bonn and heads the Photogrammetry and Robotics Lab. In his research, he focuses on probabilistic techniques for mobile robotics, perception, and navigation. The main application areas of his research are autonomous service robots, agricultural robotics, and self-driving cars. He has co-authored over 250 publications, has won several best paper awards, and has coordinated multiple large research projects on the national and European level. This podcast is hosted by Marco Prüglmeier. Together Marco and Cyrill cover the following topics: - A definition and explanation of SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping) - Where is SLAM being used - How the SLAM algorithm actually evolved over time and what Carl Friedrich Gauss has to do with it - The different categories of SLAM systems, how they work and what use cases they are best suited for - How SLAM systems are deployed in the world of logistics - Advantages of SLAM for robots in logistics - What problems and issues to look out for when implementing SLAM in logistics and warehouse situations with highly repetitive or highly dynamic environments - What the latest fields of research to advance SLAM technology are Helpful links: Webinar with JYSK and GreyOrange: https://bvl-digital.de/webinare/sendeplan/how-flexible-automation-helped-jysk-cope-with-the-unexpected-peaks-during-the-pandemic-and-support-their-ecommerce-growth/ YouTube Video on SLAM with Cyrill: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=87S82fh4rI4 Another YouTube Video on SLAM with Cyrill: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BuRCJ2fegcc To connect with Cyrill on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/cyrill-stachniss-736233173/

Desde hace más de un siglo atrás personas como Carl Friedrich Gauss pensaban como comunicarse con civilizaciones extraterrestres. Otros científicos como Nikola Tesla pensaban que habían hecho contacto con extraterrestres al descubrir ondas de radio provenientes del espacio. La búsqueda de comunicación con alienígenas cambio por completo en la segunda mitad del siglo XX con personajes como Frank Drake, Freeman Dyson, Carl Sagan y Jill Tarter.

Greetings all—and a warm welcome back for another episode! Today’s show is a conversation with Daniel Oberhaus. Daniel is a staff writer for Wired magazine and the author of the book Extraterrestrial Languages, published by MIT Press in 2019. The book charts the history of humanity’s efforts at “interstellar communication”—our attempts to send messages to the stars in the hopes that alien life forms might receive them. Daniel and I talk about what these messages have contained, what forms they’ve taken, and the thinking and theories behind them. As you might guess, the history of interstellar communication is packed full of colorful episodes, charismatic characters, and quirky passion projects. But it’s also full of deep questions—questions about the very nature of communication, about the essence of human language, about why minds think in the ways they do, about the origins of mathematics, about what can and should be said on behalf of our species—or our planet. Apologies for the long list, but there really is a lot in play here—we touch on a bunch of it but for the fuller story, I definitely recommend you check out Daniel’s book. Thank you so much for joining us, as always. Enjoy and take care!   A transcript of this interview is available here.   Notes and links  Most of the topics we discuss are treated in detail in Daniel Oberhaus’s book, Extraterrestrial Languages. 2:38 – In 1960 the mathematician Hans Freudenthal published a book called Lincos: Design of a Language for Cosmic Intercourse. Here is Daniel’s original article profiling Freudenthal and his ideas. 5:08 – There were a number of fanciful early schemes for communicating with aliens. For example, Carl Friedrich Gauss, better known for his contributions to mathematics, reportedly proposed building a large right triangle as a kind of message. 10:30 – The Arecibo message was devised and sent by Frank Drake and Carl Sagan in 1974. 11:25 – Two important acronyms in this world: the search for extraterrestrial life (SETI) and messaging extraterrestrial life (METI). 14:40 – In case you need a refresher on what an exoplanet is—as I did—here is a place to start. 20:38 – For more on the idea of Mathematical Platonism, see this article in the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy. A few alternatives to Mathematical Platonism have been proposed, including the theories of Embodied Mathematics put forward by George Lakoff & Rafael Núñez in Where Mathematics Comes From. 27:00 – A brief survey of the different numeral base systems used in across human languages. 28:30 – For a bit about John Lilly, read his obituary or see this article on his role in SETI. Lilly promoted the idea that communicating with aliens might be akin to communicating with dolphins. 30:50 – Another analogy: decoding alien messages might be like decoding ancient scripts like Linear B. 34:20 – For more on the dolphin whistle research we discuss, see here. 36:16 – Noam Chomsky’s idea that recursion is a key—perhaps the key feature—of human language is controversial. For discussion of this claim—and an equally controversial rejection of it—see this article. 37:50 – For examples of the communication abilities of Koko the gorilla, see here. Koko died in 2018. 44:45 – See here for more about the Pioneer Plaques, and here for more about the Golden Voyager Record. 48:30 – Here is a list of the musical recordings that were included on the Golden Voyager Record. 51:20 – For more about the Cosmic Call messages, see here. 53:10 – The controversial Pioneer Plaque image. 56:49 – The website for METI International. 1:03:30 – The 2015 announcement of a $100 million donation to fund SETI research is discussed here.   Daniel Oberhaus’s end-of-show recommendations: Intelligent Life in the Universe, by I.S.

In a programme first broadcast in 2017, Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss Gauss (1777-1855), widely viewed as one of the greatest mathematicians of all time. He was a child prodigy, correcting his father's accounts before he was 3, dumbfounding his teachers with the speed of his mental arithmetic, and gaining a wealthy patron who supported his education. He wrote on number theory when he was 21, with his Disquisitiones Arithmeticae, which has influenced developments since. Among his achievements, he was the first to work out how to make a 17-sided polygon, he predicted the orbit of the minor planet Ceres, rediscovering it, he found a way of sending signals along a wire, using electromagnetism, the first electromagnetic telegraph, and he advanced the understanding of parallel lines on curved surfaces.

Skúste sa vžiť do tej situácie. Je polovica 19. storočia, veda už má sformované svoje základy, no v mnohom stále pripomína skôr alchýmiu ako chémiu, skôr náhodné hádanie ako skutočné vedenie. A jedným z najzaujímavejších odborov je skúmanie elektrickej energie a jej správania. Mladý Gustav Kirchhoff sa narodil do relatívne dobre situovanej rodiny, čo mu umožnilo študovať na školách. Vzdelanie získal na univerzite v Konigsbergu, čo je dnešný Kaliningrad. A keďže mal šťastie, jeho učiteľmi sa stali Carl Gustav Jacob Jacobi, ktorý položil základy teórie čísiel či eliptických funkcií, ale údajne aj taký Carl Friedrich Gauss. Že mladík je supertalentom, ale dokázal už veľmi skoro. Už ako dvadsaťdvaročný totiž sformuloval mladý Kirchhoff čosi, čo dnes voláme zákonmi nesúcimi jeho meno. Dnes to považujeme za banálne vedenie, no v jeho čase to takým nebolo. -- Ďalšie správy z vedy Výbuch sopky Vezuv vyparil ľuďom krv, potom im vybuchli lebky.

Transcript: In science we deal with two fundamentally different types of errors. Random errors are usually associated with limitations in the measuring apparatus. A random error can displace a measurement either to the high or low side of the true value. Random errors are fundamental in science and in astronomy, and their theory was put in place by Carl Friedrich Gauss. Random errors can even apply when we count things. Although you may be able to count the number members in your family completely accurately, in astronomy we’re not able to count with complete precision. So we estimate the number of stars in a galaxy or the number of galaxies in the universe, and the count has an error attached to it. The second type of error is called the systematic error. A systematic error does not displace equally to the high or low side of the true value. It represents either a failure in our understanding of how to make a measurement or a flaw in the measuring equipment itself. For example, if you used a ruler to measure the width of a table and that ruler was either miscalibrated in the way it was a applied the scale when it was manufactured or the ruler had its scale applied at a different temperature from the temperature you are making the measurement, then all of your measurements of distance would be off in one direction. That’s called a systematic error. It is one of the most dangerous and tricky things in astronomy or in any science to track down systematic errors.

Marcus du Sautoy argues that mathematics is the driving force behind modern science: German mathematician, Carl Friedrich Gaus.This ten part history of mathematics from Newton to the present day, reveals the personalities behind the calculations: the passions and rivalries of mathematicians struggling to get their ideas heard. Professor Marcus du Sautoy shows how these masters of abstraction find a role in the real world and proves that mathematics is the driving force behind modern science. It was the German scientist and mathematician, Carl Friedrich Gauss, who said mathematics was the Queen of Science. One of his many mathematical breakthroughs, the Gaussian or normal distribution, is the lifeblood of statistics. It underpins modern medicine and is a valuable tool in the fight against prejudice.
