This “Christmas tree” with the design incorporating Fresnel optics, was in operation at the Vilan Cap Lighthouse in Galicia from 1896 to 1964! the light reached 64 km. I wish you a wonderful holiday season with your family.

Without words… but very comforting in these complicated times!

Mathematical physicist Cécile DeWitt-Morette was born #OTD in 1922. She made foundational contributions to Feynman functional integrals, organized the first American conference on general relativity (important for gravitational waves), and started the Les Houches Summer School. 🧪 ⚛️ 👩‍🔬 (1/n)

Opportune positioning of 6 major European research players, for ambitious support for fundamental research, for the simplification of administrative procedures, etc. all that is missing is the word photonics to have an excellent holiday! www.calameo.com/books/007842...
