 I also visited University of Oxford's Museum of Science, which showcases a lot of scientific instruments, including some super pretty and old astrolabes! The museum didn't do a good of explaining how to use them, though. Need to look into that later tonight, maybe! :) 8 comments
Found the Penrose Paving at the Mathematical Institute! Also learned that they published most of their undergraduate lectures on YouTube: https://www.maths.ox.ac.uk/node/67930 Visited the National Museum of Computing today. I've been to plenty of computer museums – but this one is special: Almost everything works! You can type on an Enigma, and then see how a bombe helped decipher it. It's *loud*!! They also have a computer from 1951, the "Witch", which still works! It had 340 bytes of RAM, could calculate five values per second, and punch them out on paper tape! |

Isn't it weird that humans and bananas *ever* shared a common ancestor?!
