The Victorian gentleman was a brilliant mathematician, but he wasn’t very good at politics and fundraising, so he never got the financial backing to finish any of his elaborate machine designs. For decades, even his fans weren’t certain whether his computing machines would have worked.</p> <p>But Doron Swade, a former curator at the Science Museum in London, has proven that Babbage wasn’t just an eccentric dreamer. Using nothing but materials that would have been available to Babbage in the 1840s, Swade and a group of engineers successfully built Babbage’s Difference Engine — and a version is now on display at the <a href="http://www.computerhistory.org/">Computer History Museum</a> in Mountain View, Calif.</p> </blockquote> </blockquote>http://proofmathisbeautiful.tumblr.com/post/278238518http://proofmathisbeautiful.tumblr.com/post/278238518Thu, 10 Dec 2009 20:27:32 -0500<img src="http://12.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kuer64QVBd1qapkxeo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://sarawayland.tumblr.com/post/276661336">sarawayland</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p><a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/worldnews/article-1234430/Mystery-spiral-blue-light-display-hovers-Norway.html">Mystery as spiral blue light display hovers above Norway</a></p> <p>Creepy.</p> </blockquote>http://proofmathisbeautiful.tumblr.com/post/278197964http://proofmathisbeautiful.tumblr.com/post/278197964Thu, 10 Dec 2009 19:56:51 -0500<img src="http://4.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kud1m9bxXf1qz9bwro1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://theduty.tumblr.com/post/275342927/more-quality-brain-fatteners-from-the-crazy-kids">theduty</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>…more quality brain fatteners from the crazy kids at <a href="ttp://www.onlineeducation.net">OnlineEducation</a>.</p> </blockquote>http://proofmathisbeautiful.tumblr.com/post/278184834http://proofmathisbeautiful.tumblr.com/post/278184834Thu, 10 Dec 2009 19:47:03 -0500
