But by the end of the 1800s, with the existence of molecules increasingly firmly established, the Second Law began to often be treated as an almost-mathematically-proven necessary law of physics. There were still mathematical loose ends, as well as issues such as its application to living systems and to systems involving gravity.

Many would say that modern exact science was launched in the 1600s with the introduction of what we can call the “ mathematical paradigm ”: the idea that things in the world can be described by mathematical equations—and that their behavior can be determined by finding solutions to these equations.

Other processes include direct melting from the Sun’s energy hitting the ice’s surface. Given that this energy varies daily and seasonally, the ice can undergo repetitive freezing and thawing, which can crack the ice sheet and lead to dramatic collapses of sections. Uncovering this relationship involves some sophisticated modelling.

Now “characters” could be 16-bit constructs, with nearly 65536 possible “glyphs” allocated across different languages and uses (including some mathematical symbols that we introduced). Needless to say, you can do this computationally—though the “calculus” of what’s been defined so far in Unicode is fairly bizarre: &#10005.

But at a personal and social level it was still always a lot of fun being around Ed and being exposed to his unique intense opportunistic energy—with its repeating themes but ever-changing directions. 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).
