Fermi's Pisa
A visit to the Scuola Normale Superiore, Fermi’s handwritten entrance examinations, and the mathematics of a vibrating rod.
Physics
Classification of Different Analogies in Mathematical Physics
A framework for categorizing analogies between physical systems — from intuitive connections to full mathematical dualities.
Gravitational Aquarium
The cosmos lives within everyday moments — observing an aquarium at METU and drawing parallels to gravitational physics.
Fluctuation-Dissipation Theorem
From Einstein’s 1905 Brownian motion to quantum vacuum fluctuations and the Lindblad equation.
Dispersion as a Consequence of Discrete Space-Time
How dispersion emerges naturally from a granular spacetime model — deriving dispersion relations from coupled oscillators on a lattice.
On the Origins of Time and Gravitation — A Thought Experiment
A thought experiment on the origins of time and gravitation, inspired by the stone waterfalls at METU.
