(Fermi Paradox)►5 PEOPLE WITH INCREDIBLY POWERFUL MINDS | SS #99The mind is perhaps humanity's most powerful tool. With our collective brain power, we've built extraordinary engines of war, constructed breathtaking structures, and explored beyond our very own planet. There is no limit to what the human mind is capable of accomplishing in the right circumstances. And some people take that fact to an entirely new level.1. Leonardo Da Vinci (1452-1519) - an Italian Renaissance polymath who was active as a painter, draughtsman, engineer, scientist, theorist, sculptor, and architect2. Stephen Wiltshire (b. 1974) -  a British architectural artist and autistic savant. He is known for his ability to draw a landscape from memory after seeing it just once.3. Kim Peake (1951-2009) - an American mega-savant, who had an exceptional memory, but also experienced social difficulties. He was the inspiration for the character Raymond Babbitt in the 1988 movie Rain Man.4. Nikola Tesla (1856-1943) - a Serbian-American inventor, electrical engineer, mechanical engineer, and futurist best known for his contributions to the design of the modern alternating current (AC) electricity supply system.5. John von Neumann (1903-1957) - a Hungarian-American mathematician, physicist, computer scientist, engineer, and polymath. He was regarded as having perhaps the widest coverage of any mathematician of his time.Send us Fan MailPlease Support the SHOW by donating today!Support the showTo watch each episode in video format, visit Rob Gavagan's Seriously Strange playlist on YouTube.

The move towards more renewables in our energy systems complicates matters even further, requiring the development of an integrated power grid and continuous and steady transformation of the UK power system. Network flows must be managed reliably under uncertain demands, uncertain supply, emerging network technologies and possible failures and, further, prices in related markets can be highly volatile. Mathematicians working with engineers and economists, can make significant contributions to address such issues, by helping to develop fit-for-purpose models for next generation energy systems. These interdisciplinary approaches are looking to address a range of associated problems, including modelling, prediction, simulation, control, market and mechanism design and optimisation.
