Juggling is sometimes called the art of controlling patterns in time and space.

“Juggling is sometimes called the art of controlling patterns, controlling patterns in time and space.” — Ronald Graham (American Mathematician)

That’s Richard Feynman in the top two images, me in the bottom left image, and a participant in the Baltimore Marathon, bottom right image.

  1. You don’t seem to be juggling – two balls doesn’t really count. 🙂

    Three ball juggling is probably easier than two ball switching once you get your head straight. You should learn – it is very relaxing.

    And I am pleased that there is at least one thing I am better than RF was – he looks crap at juggling. Although five balls for 26 miles is a real achievement from the guys i in the bottom right

    • I’ve read that Feynman was largely self taught in the stuff that he did in physics and mathematics. He invented his own “style” in quantum mechanics (Feynman Diagrams) that the rest of the physics community evantually came to adopt. I guess that the same could be said about his style of juggling: he mastered the problem of juggling on his own, with little concern for how the acknowledged experts did it.
