Let me contribute my Europeanist sentiment by pointing out that the harmonious design of the fab is pure tatemae.
The Japanese professional class care fuckall about PFAS and environmental issues have always been low on the list of priorities. Sorry. I love the Hokkaido produce.
It's certainly something to be concerned about. Even the building where MOS Technology made the 6502 (in Norristown PA) is still a contaminated EPA superfund site. It's an industry with very nasty chemicals and a long history of leaking them.
Some of the regulations make sense, like PFAS (correlated with chip manufacturing because HF is needed to etch Silicon and so
fluoro-organics make great complements) And they seem to be sincere about it.
As for the Japanese professional classes, environmental issues are always an afterthought. Don't let the "harmonious" design philosophy of the fab fool you..that's tatemae. (Remember Jobs and pancreatic cancer? There's the price to pay for the shiny toys)
I wont be eating from Hokkaido if this pans out (their milk is overrated imho, but the seafood is top)
Maybe I'll get to eat more Austrian millet in the near future..
He takes reals to be "stretch" and imaginaries to be "rotate". As in, real space, not an abstraction like "complex plane".
Then the imaginary unit becomes, not just rotation by pi/2 but a "basis vector" for rotation.
Putting on my physicst/engineer hat. this identifies rotations with the axis of rotation, which points outside the plane. (Disclaimer: this is not exactly how the author thinks about it.)
(In contrast. The basis vector of "stretches", btw which include 180-degree rotations, stay in the plane:)
The math is not novel but the perspective is.
Now this can be generalized to 3D rotations, whence you think of (the unit) quaternions as 3 independent axes of rotations.
(Euler angle and Euler formula become muddled :)
There's also the "rotational derivative" (angular velocity) bit which is THE THING worth mulling over. I think is the really novel bit (again. perspective, not math-- but I have not worked out his [degree] arithmetic )
(He calls it the fundamental equation in the video)
The physicist gets reminded of Legendre transforms (think <p,q> (- H)), where p here means angular momentum :)
It will be most cool if he can use this style to explain the "Feynman belt trick" without symbols or animation :)
had involved discovering the mechanism of ICE CRYSTAL GROWTH HABIT CHANGE, an outstanding problem for more than 50 years in cloud physics that is closely related to the “thousands’ variations” in snowflakes.
