An Unsolved Simple Graph Problem

post from Good Math, Bad Math on 10 July 2007 10:53:55 PM. © Good Math, Bad Math

One of the things that I find fascinating about graph theory is that it's so simple, andyet, it's got so much depth. Even when we're dealing with the simplest form of a graph - undirected graphs with no 1-cycles, there are questions that seem like that should be obvious, but which we don't know the answer to.

For example, there's something called the reconstruction theorem. We strongly suspect that it's really a theorem, but it remains unproven. What it says is a very precise formal version of the idea that a graph is really fully defined by a canonical collection of its subgraphs.

He should study Sun Tzu

post from Pharyngula on 10 July 2007 08:00:00 PM. © Pharyngula

How do you know Egnor is crazy as a loon? For one thing (among many), he lashes out at both Orac and me. Triggering a response from one wordy skeptical woo-woo-basher should be enough for any semi-sane kook, but his last little screed tried to trawl both of us up in the flimsy net of his delusions. I already swiped back, but now Orac rips him and Pat Sullivan apart. Dumb move. He really should just try us one at a time — his struggles last a little longer that way.

Well Preserved Baby Mammoth Discovered in
Permafrost

Baby Mammoth

Baby mammoth discovery unveiled

The six-month-old female calf was discovered on the Yamal peninsula of Russia and is thought to have died 10,000 years ago. The animal’s trunk and eyes are still intact and some of its fur remains on the body.
…
Mammoths first appeared in the Pliocene Epoch, 4.8 million years ago. What caused their widespread disappearance at the end of the last Ice Age remains unclear; but climate change, overkill by human hunters, or a combination of both could have been to blame. One population of mammoths lived on in isolation on Russia’s remote Wrangel Island until about 5,000 years ago.

My man-crush

Phil reveals his man-crushes, and I have to respond in kind. Fortunately, it's easy. I've just seen something that endears one particular gentleman to me…

Michael Moore.

He batters that smug silver-haired rodent, Wolf Blitzer. I wish he'd been given a chance to kick Lou Dobbs' ass. He rakes the entire American news media over white-hot coals for their continued failures to investigate and report honestly on the war as well as on health care. C'est magnifique.
