But in 1798 Benjamin Thompson (Count Rumford) (1753–1814) measured the heat produced by the mechanical process of boring a cannon, and began to make the argument that, in contradiction to the caloric theory, there was actually some kind of correspondence between mechanical energy and amount of heat.

Events are like functions, whose “arguments” are incoming tokens, and whose output is one or more outgoing tokens. Chemistry / Molecular Biology. But in thinking about molecular computing it may be crucial—and perhaps it’s also necessary for understanding molecular biology. There are many.

It didn’t help that his knowledge of physics was at best spotty (and, for example, I don’t think he ever really learned calculus). At the end of high school, Ed applied to Caltech (which was only 13 miles away from where he lived), and largely on the basis of his test scores, was admitted. (For It’s just my nature.
