Happy PI (π) Day 3.14159 & Happy Birthday Albert Einstein 🥳🥧

[brightideathepunny]

Today is Pi Day, March 14, 3/14, the first 3 digits of Pi! I'd say "Happy Pi Day Friday" but the calendar just isn't having it this year. We have to wait a whole 'nother year before that happens. By the way, if you are reading this in 2025, what's the future's like?

A few years ago back in the year 2015, we had something called "Super Pi Day", because 3/14/15 (in the US, standard date format is day/month/year). If you knew to set your watch on that day to 9:26:53AM, you'd achieve peak Pi Day digitry!

If I were a time traveler I might like going back to that day, or I'd go back a year earlier to 2014, just to tell people "Happy Pi Day Friday". Because I'm weird like that.

Pi Day was founded in 1988 by Larry Shaw, at the time an employee of the Exploratorium science museum in San Francisco. If I could time travel I'd go back to 1986, just to give Larry the bright idea of invent Pi Day that year. Why you might ask? So the very first Pi Day would be a Friday!

Because Pi Day started in 1988, today happens to be the 37th Pi Day, a prime number. Or you might say it's the 36th anniversary of when Pi Day started, and 36 is double 18; in Jewish tradition 18 is also known as Chai. The symbol for Chai looks pretty similar to Pi doesn't it? So this year can be called Double Chai Pi Day!

Today I brought an apple pie to work to share with coworkers, and I'm also celebrating Pi Day babies, people who were born on March 14: in 1933 actor Michael Caine and musician Quincy Jones were born, Billy Crystal came into the world in 1948, and Olympian gymnast Simone Biles is celebrating today as well. She was born in 1997 on a Pi Day Friday! In that she shares something in common with the great Albert Einstein, born March 14, 1879, Guess what day of the week his birthday was?

Pi Day Friday!

In comedy, we call that a joke going full circle!

Happy Birthday Albert Einstein

[misterlemonztenth]

03-15-24 | Today in 1879 Albert Einstein was born in Wurttemberg, Germany. He would be 145 today. He died in 1955 in Princeton, NJ.

Happy Birthday Albert.

Here are some insights from the one and only Albert Einstein. He is most known as a popular scientist who dramatically changed humanity’s engagement with the world. This post illuminates some of his equally amazing insights beyond the science and beyond the physical.

“I didn't arrive at my understanding of the fundamental laws of the universe through my rational mind.”

2. “Concerning matter, we have been all wrong. What we have called matter is energy, whose vibration has been so lowered as to be perceptible to the senses. Matter is spirit reduced to point of visibility. There is no matter.”

"Time and space are not conditions in which we live, but modes by which we think.

Physical concepts are free creations of the human mind, and are not, however it may seem, determined by the external world."

“Time does not exist – we invented it. Time is what the clock says. The distinction between the past, present and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion.”

“I think 99 times and find nothing. I stop thinking, swim in silence, and the truth comes to me."

"The intellect has little to do on the road to discovery. There comes a leap in consciousness, call it intuition or what you will, the solution comes to you and you don’t know how or why.”

"A human being experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest, a kind of optical delusion of consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty."

"Our separation from each other is an optical illusion."

“When something vibrates, the electrons of the entire universe resonate with it. Everything is connected. The greatest tragedy of human existence is the illusion of separateness.”

“Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one.”

“We are souls dressed up in sacred biochemical garments and our bodies are the instruments through which our souls play their music.”

“When you examine the lives of the most influential people who have ever walked among us, you discover one thread that winds through them all. They have been aligned first with their spiritual nature and only then with their physical selves.”

“The true value of a human being can be found in the degree to which he has attained liberation from the self.”

“The ancients knew something, which we seem to have forgotten.”

“The more I learn of physics, the more I am drawn to metaphysics.”

“One thing I have learned in a long life: that all our science, measured against reality, is primitive and childlike. We still do not know one thousandth of one percent of what nature has revealed to us. It is entirely possible that behind the perception of our senses, worlds are hidden of which we are unaware.”

“I’m not an atheist. The problem involved is too vast for our limited minds. We are in the position of a little child entering a huge library filled with books in many languages. The child knows someone must have written those books.”

"The common idea that I am an atheist is based on a big mistake. Anyone who interprets my scientific theories this way, did not understand them."

"Everything is determined, every beginning and ending, by forces over which we have no control. It is determined for the insect, as well as for the star. Human beings, vegetables, or cosmic dust, we all dance to a mysterious tune, intoned in the distance by an invisible piper."

“The religion of the future will be a cosmic religion. It will transcend a personal God and avoid dogma and theology.”

“Energy cannot be created or destroyed, it can only be changed from one form to another.”

“Everything is energy and that is all there is to it. Match the frequency of the reality you want and you can not help but get that reality. It can be no other way. This is not philosophy. This is physics.”

"I am happy because I want nothing from anyone. I do not care about money. Decorations, titles or distinctions mean nothing to me. I do not crave praise. I claim credit for nothing. A happy man is too satisfied with the present to dwell too much on the future." misterlemonztenth.tumblr.com/archive

gally as galileo galilei

masterlist

summary: an analysis of james dashner’s choice to name gally after galileo galilei, and the similarities gally and galileo galilei have.

word count: 560

warnings: talk of trauma, triggers, death, and abuse/manipulation by religious groups

a/n: happy birthday will poulter! this is the first part of my wave of stuff for will's birthday. just a lil observation i made, and ofc, a lot of love for my sweet precious baby, gally.

𝗘𝗩𝗘𝗥𝗬 𝗖𝗛𝗔𝗥𝗔𝗖𝗧𝗘𝗥 in The Maze Runner is named after an important historical figure. Thomas is Thomas Edison, Newt is Isaac Newton, etc…

Everyone acts like these characters got their names randomly, but it's so obvious to me that their names directly correlate to their purpose in the story.

Thomas Edison was an inventor who created unique solutions to problems that had stumped other scientists for ages…Thomas was able to creatively solve the Maze after the Gladers struggled on it for three years. Isaac Newton was smart as hell, and he made discoveries that laid the foundation for many other scientific discoveries. Sound familiar? Newt laid the foundation for the Glade by holding a massive amount of info and ideas. Winston Churchill spent his life trying to gain world peace…much like how Winston tried to make both sides happy and bridge the gap when Gally took over.

With this information in mind, let's take a look at Gally and his namesake, Galileo Galilei. Often called the father of modern science, Galileo made over fifty revolutionary discoveries about science, influencing tons of scientists, namely Isaac Newton and Albert Einstein. Galileo discovered the moons of Jupiter, the rings of Saturn, the phases of Venus, and the craters and mountains on the moon. He also proved the earlier theory of Nicolaus Copernicus that the Earth was revolving around the sun. He invented an early microscope. He developed the mathematical ideas on the motion of objects on an inclined plane, the acceleration of free-falling bodies, and the movement of a pendulum. Basically, he was a really cool dude.

Gally was one of the most knowledgeable and foundational people of the Glade, made clear by his position as a Keeper and his obvious love for stability. He wasn't afraid to share his opinion (much like Galileo) and consistently contributed important information and solutions to the Glade. Also, to be a Builder, you have to have at least a basic understanding of physics. Gally obviously understood basic physics concepts, because all of the buildings in the Glade are sturdy and standing. Similarly, math is very important to be a Builder, so as Keeper of the Builders, he obviously had an understanding of mathematics. Basically, Gally is smart. Like his namesake.

But the similarities don't end there. When Galileo tried to bring forth his evidence of the Copernician doctrine that the Earth revolves around the sun, he was labeled a heretic by the church and ex-communicated, and placed under house arrest for the rest of his life. Yeah, for stating his opinions, he was forced out of what should have been a safe place, ostracized, and had to die alone. Similar to Gally, don't you think? Sure, he shouldn't have antagonized Thomas without explaining why, but the truth still remains that he had trauma and Thomas was a trigger. He thought he was helping by pointing out Thomas's role in his memories, and then instead of at least listening, his friends of the past three years immediately sided with the boy they'd known for three days, ostracizing him from the only safe place and family he'd ever known. He was also left to die alone by these friends, much like Galileo.

Yeah, as much as I hate to say it, James Dashner knew what he was doing here, and Gally and Galileo both need to find better friends.

A Birthday Surprise (An EENE Commission)

I have not posted an EENE story in a while. It was fun writing this! This is a commission. If you would like to request a commission from me, feel free to message me. I hope you enjoy the story. Also, Edd is a genderbent in this fic. 

“Hurry up, Ed! We don’t have much time!” Eddy told his friend as he taped the last strand of wrapping paper. 

Ed wobbled on the ladder, hanging up the sign. “How’s this look, Eddy?” 

Looking up from the third box he was wrapping up, Eddy furrowed his eyebrows at the lopsided sign. Why would Ed hang one side on his disco ball and the other on his dresser? Who cares if it’s lopsided? Double Dee would snip at him that the sign was out of proportion. Who cares. She was going to love this!

“Where should I put all the snacks, Eddy?” Ed asked, balancing himself on one foot. He was holding the punch bowl, bags of chips, drinks, and one jawbreaker on his head.

“You’d better not spill any of that,” Eddy warned him. For safe measures, he moved the presents to a safer place. He didn’t want anything to happen to them. For the last three weeks, Eddy had been scamming the neighborhood kids, mowed six lawns in the neighborhood, and even agreed to do all the chores that his mother wanted him to do. 

Placing all the snacks as carefully as he could on the table, Ed happily danced around. He started wrapping his gift for Double Dee. Albeit it was a dinosaur toy that they’d been passing around for a while now, she still loved dinosaurs. “When are we going to jump out and shout surprise to Double Dee, Eddy?”

“Calm down, lumpy,” Eddy told him as he stepped off the ladder. “First, we gotta get her over here. And wrap up the rest of these presents.”

“Do you think Double Dee is going to like to pin the tail on Albert Einstein?” Ed was already playing the game himself, a blindfold around his eyes as he was blindly wandering around with the tail.

“Would you be careful? And who said you could open the gifts?” Eddy slightly pushed Ed away from him. 

“I’m just excited!” The taller of the friends beckoned giving himself a warm hug. “Double Dee’s parents have never given her a party like this on any of her birthdays.”

Don’t remind me, Eddy grumbled to himself.  Straitening up his shoulders, he placed his hands in his pockets and started outside. “I’ll be right back.”

As Eddy walked down the cul-de-sac to Double Dee’s house, he thought back to last year, the dreaded day that he never wanted to think about. Earlier that morning, he’d sent a happy birthday text to Double Dee. The weird part is that she never responded. When he and Ed invested for themselves, the poor girl was sitting alone in her house, sticky notes with her parent's requests and demands everywhere. None of them said ‘Happy Birthday.’

This year was going to be different. 

About to knock on the door, Eddy had a different idea. Snickering to himself, he stepped into the bushes and rang the doorbell. Hearing footsteps, Double Dee answered the door. Bewildered, she looked around until Eddy jumped out of the bushes.

“Happy Birthday, Double Dee!” Eddy screamed, waving his arms all around as leaves covered his face.

His happy greetings didn’t meet the reaction he was hoping for. Double Dee’s eyes were red from crying. Tears still stained her face. It broke Eddy’s heart to see his friend this way, especially on one of the most joyous days.

“Oh, Eddy, I don’t mean to be the bearer of bad news,” Double Dee started, looking at her feet. “But today is not a good day for glorifying my birthday. I don’t feel up to it today.”

Eddy turned his brow up. “And why is that? Aren’t you the one who made sure that I had a cake even when I didn’t want one for my birthday?”

The young girl nodded in agreement. “Yes, I can attest to that. But mother and father...” her voice broke, and she hugged herself. “They didn’t leave me a sticky note even acknowledging my birthday.”

“Hey, what have I told you about them?” Eddy told his friend.

“I know, I know, I mustn’t let their disregard affect me, but Eddy.” The instant Double Dee looked at Eddy, her green eyes swimming in her own tears, Eddy thought that the dam was going to break after all these years and he’d start crying. “They’re my parents. It’s my birthday. What else is there to do?”

Shaking off the tears, Eddy smiled. “I got an idea, sockhead. Come on over to my place. Ed and I have a surprise for you.”

Double Dee smiled, but it wasn’t for long. “Again, I appreciate you and Ed trying to make this a special day...”

Without letting Double Dee finish her sentence, Eddy grabbed her hand and pulled her down the cul-de-sac to his house. All the while, Double Dee would not stop talking about how there was no need to make her birthday special. As soon as Eddy opened the door to his room, Double Dee was surprised at all the party favors, the birthday sign, and most especially, the presents in the corner of Eddy’s room.

“Happy Birthday, Double Dee!” Ed shouted in glee, tooting his party horn. He strapped a party hat to his friend’s head. 

“My word, you two put this festivity together for me?” Tears streamed down Double Dee’s face again, but this time they were happy tears.

“You’re our pal, Double Dee. Now let’s quit the sugar talk and open your presents,” Eddy said, handing one of his gifts to her.

Double Dee loved the telescope, the dinosaur, and the jawbreaker. At Ed’s insist, they also played pin the tail on the donkey. It was the best birthday she could ever have. Giving her two very best friends a hug.

“Thank you, fellows. I will never forget this birthday,” Double Dee smiled in gratitude.

“Yeah, yeah, don’t rub it in, Double Dee,” Eddy acted like he didn’t care, but inside, he felt that warm feeling Double Dee described to him once.

Happy Birthday Albert Einstein (and happy pi day too)!

[trashboatprince]

I was tagged by @terryfphanatics 

I’ll break this up with a readmore at some point cause this is pretty long. 

What book are you currently reading?

Smoke Gets In Your Eyes by Caitlin Doughty (aka Ask a Mortician on youtube), it’s pretty good. 

What's your favourite movie you saw in a cinema this year?

The only movies I’ve seen so far is Puss in Boots’ sequel and it was AWESOME! I want to see it again, but the tiny theater in town only keeps a single movie playing for about two weeks (unless if it’s a Big Studio Movie where it’s in there for a fucking month like they did with Avatar and anything Marvel Studios)

What do you usually wear?

Shirt, leggings or pants, and I’m usually found wearing a plaid/tartan button-up shirt of some color and kind. I don’t get to dress nice often cause I tend to spend my time at work cleaning. 

How tall are you?

5′6, the most average height. I am, however, the tallest of my siblings

What's your star sign?

Pisces

Do you share your birthday with a celebrity or historical event?

Albert Einstein, Billy Crystal, and Michael Cain. Also, Stephen Hawking died on my birthday. And it’s Pi Day (technically not PIE day, despite what people say, that’s in January. There is an irony to this day because I have severe dyscalcula)

Do you go by your name or a nickname?

I got by [REDACTED] and John. (I don’t like using my birth name online, because I still go by it on days when I’m not John, but this name is very uncommon so... safety reasons)

I have a lot of nicknames from family members based around my birth name, my older sister has a specific nickname for me just as she does for our younger sibling, and online some of you guys call me by my username when you don’t use John. My girlfriend has a few names for me, and is literally the only person who is allowed to call me Johnny. I LOATH being called Johnny, she has permission because she’s cute and I love her.

Did you grow up to be what you wanted to be as a child?

Kinda???

I mean, technically, I did actually work as a museum archivist for several months during and after college, and my library job was technically an archive job. But this is work that is hard to come by, and is often done by unpaid volunteers, and I’d like to be paid. 

Currently I work at a job that is nothing that I’d ever want to go to school for, but the pay is good and no one bothers me. That much. 

Are you in a relationship? Who is your crush if not?

Yep, I’m in a relationship with my angel, Verzi. Have been since 2016! I do have a fictional crush (Lucian) and celebrity crush (Michael Sheen. Shockingly not David Tennant, but that’s on the grounds that I want to steal David’s gender. Also, Michael’s my type)

What's something you're good at versus something you're bad at?

I think I’m pretty decent at baking and cooking, I greatly enjoy doing these activities, and I think I’m pretty good at writing when I remember to beta my work. However, I’m terrible with time management, but that’s normal for people with ADHD, especially those who are unmedicated. Oh, and I’m HORRIBLE at learning other languages, but, again, that’s related to my ADHD. I’m trying, but it’s never been easy, even from a young age when I lived in Germany.

Dogs or cats?

Both, but maybe I lean a little more on the side of cats because I have three of them

What's something you'd like to create content for?

I dunno, I make stuff for the things I really like all the time, it’s just a matter of actually doing it or not. But then again... there’s this au someone has on twitter that I really like ant for, but I have no idea how to talk to the creator about doing so (mostly it’s a language thing). 

What's something you're currently obsessed with?

*gestures in the direction of Good Omens, Doctor Who, Bendy, and the GOEU* 

I dunno, the usual offerings on this blog and on my side account if you know where to look. 

What's something you were excited about that turned out to be disappointing this year?

Hmmmm... work stuff. I legit happy with the work schedule I had gotten, and I was actually starting to get some decent sleep cause I wasn’t always stuck to four night shifts a damn week, but then a coworker threw a fit and quit on the spot over something stupid and now we’re scrambling to figure out how to give everyone enough hours. 

What's a hidden talent of yours?

When I was a kid, and my memory issues weren’t as severe as they are now (three comas and adhd will do that to a man), I used to be able to quote, word for word, whole episodes of shows I really liked. From Spongebob to YuGiOh, kids paid me to do these things at recess cause it was entertaining. I can still... sorta do this, but nothing like back in the day. 

Nowadays, the only hidden talent I can think of is that I’m double jointed in my hands like my mom, unlike my dad and siblings. They can’t fuck up their fingers like we can (I can even bend my thumb behind my hand) 

Are you religious?

I guess? I’m a Methodist (who doesn’t go to church) who also practices Buddhism and looks into the beliefs of Daisim.    

What's something you wish to have at this moment?

For someone else to clean out my drawers and closet to get rid of old clothing I don’t want anymore, because right now I’m getting things ready for when I move out of my apartment in a few weeks.

I’m not big on tagging people, but anyone can do this if they want to.

Happy Birthday! 🎁🎈🥧 (pie emoji instead of cake because it’s pi day today)

fun fact, my mom is a math teacher and she’d always make some joke to her students every year about my birthday and pi day or something and also albert einstein because it’s also albert einstein’s birthday today

[talltalestogo]

Happy Pi Day and Birthday, Albert Einstein, born this day in 1879. Looks like he might have had a slice of lemon meringue.
