The World Awaits Our Empty Blog

I have a new computer. I have chosen to name my new laptop Laplace, after Pierre Laplace (1749-1827), a French mathematician and physicist. Laplace applied Newtons laws to the movement of the planets, and was instrumental in founding the metric system. Laplace was one of the first scientists to postulate the existence of black holes. Laplace also described a method of inductive reasoning and probability theory that we, today, would call Bayesian statistics.
