Hurricane force winds allowing I shall be making a flying visit to England on the coming weekend. On Monday 19th December I shall be in London for the day on my way back to Germany and I will be lunching with Rebekah “Becky” Higgitt and possibly her colleague Richard Dunn in Greenwich. Any readers of the Renaissance Mathematicus who are in London and who have time would be very welcome to join us; if you want to come leave a message in the comments or send me an email.

The Facts of Life
If your philosophy of [scientific] history claims that the sequence should have been A→B→C, and it is C→A→B, then your philosophy of history is wrong. You have to take the data of history seriously.

Damn, I actually live in work in London, but just won’t find the time on Monday (and Greenwich is quite a schlepp). Would have been an honour to meet you, Sir.
Were are you in London?
At UCL in Bloomsbury.
We could meet for a coffee on my way back from Greenwich?
With pleasure. How close to Bloomsbury can you get on your way back?
Tottenham Court Road no problem!
Excellent! There’s a pub on TCR, called The Jack Horner, that I go to on occasions. Care to exchange phone numbers via email? baerista@gmail.com
