Transcript: IT IS WITH GREAT REGRET THAT WE HAVE TO ANNOUNCE THE DEATH ON FRIDAY,
18TH JULY 1952 OF D.N.A HELIX (CRYSTALLINE). DEATH FOLLOWED A PROTRACTED ILLNESS
WHICH AN INTENSIVE COURSE OF BESSELISED INJECTIONS HAD FAILED TO RELIEVE. A
MEMORIAL SERVICE WILL BE HELD NEXT MONDAY OR TUESDAY. IT IS HOPED THAT DR. M.H.F.
WILKINS WILL SPEAK IN MEMORY OF THE LATE HELIX [BLANK] and Raymond Gosling
Whose name is blanked out on the bottom left?

Having a ____X____ number smaller than 0.1 labels a
substance as thermally thin, and heat can be assumed to beconstant throughout the materials volume. A ___X____
number greater than 0.1 indicates a "thermally thick"
substance and more complicated heat transfer equations
will be required to describe the time-varying temperaturefield within the material body.
On a totally different note, X is also a term used in Arthur
Clarke's Rendevouz with Rama to describe a cyborg in his book.

The X benchmark is a program that measures the
floating point performance of computers. It wasnamed after a town in Leicestershire, England. It's
Fortran version, which became the first general
purpose benchmark that set industry standards of
computer system performance.
The Y benchmark is a play on X's name, and was so
named ('Y') as it didn't perform floating point
operations and grew to become representative of
general processor (CPU) performance at it's time. X

x is assumed to have exponential growth (represented in the
equation by the term x). There is a negative term that is attributed
to interaction with y and this term is proportional to the rate of x
and y interact.
xy represents the growth of y. This term shows again interaction
between x and y. The other term y represents the loss rate
(exponential decay) of y, and it is brought about because of lack of x.

While translating William Cullen's A treatise of
the materia medica into German, SamuelHahnemann came across a passage that dealt
with the treatment of malaria.
He was skeptical about the prescribed treatmentand took "four good drams of Peruvian bark,
twice a day for several days" to attempt to
characterize the action of the quinine-containing
bark, to test the efficacy of the treatment, andreported that he began to experience symptoms
of malaria. What did all this lead to?

"Think of a room full of waltzers. Suppose they go round the
room in circles, each circle enclosed within another. Then
imagine that in each circle, you can fit twice as many dancers by
having one pair go clockwise and another pair gocounterclockwise. Then add one more variation; all the dancers
are spinning twirling round and round like tops as they circle the
room, each pair both twirling and circling. But only some of
those that go counterclockwise are twirling counterclockwise.The others are twirling clockwise while circling
counterclockwise. The same is true of those that are dancing
around clockwise: some twirl clockwise, others twirl
counterclockwise.³

Y is the hypothetical time-reversal of X, though
theoretical models predict that they look exactly alike
and show similar behaviour towards matter, since
acceleration is invariant during time reversal.
Physicist Schwarzschild predicted X soon after the
theory of relativity, but Y also appeared as part of his
field equations describing a Schwarzschild wormhole.
Y that are not part of a wormhole is doubtful, as they
appear to violate the second law of thermodynamics.

Now to what phenomenon did I give primary concern in designing X? It
was wind resistance. Well then! I hold that the curvature of the
monument's four outer edges, which is as mathematical calculationdictated it should be [...] will give a great impression of strength and
beauty, for it will reveal to the eyes of the observer the boldness of the
design as a whole.
Those were the words of Xs designer. The shape of X was therefore
determined by mathematical calculation involving wind resistance.
Several theories of this mathematical calculation have been proposed
over the years, the most recent is a nonlinear integral differential
equation based on counterbalancing the wind pressure on any point on
X with the tension between the construction elements at that point.
Whats X? More f amous for its strength, beauty and boldness.
