Yes, yes, I know that the sciences teach us plenty of facts about the material world we inhabit, and our philosophy, while imperfect, leads us to the sound conjecture that there must be, at the very least, beings much like ourselves, or else how could our language embody so many subtle and purely instrumental meanings?
The Faber Krahn inequality goes back to Lord Rayleigh who in 1877 in his book 'The theory of sound' [111] conjectured that the gravest principal tone of a vibrating membrane is obtained by a circular one.
It might sound silly to conjecture, but I have a feeling that many of you are also just as dependent on your relationship with a computer.
Plausible as that theory sounds, it, too, is conjecture.
Starting from this conjecture, we provide a sound extension of the M-of-N approach with negation and disjunction, called M-of-N, which enables to best fit the true structure of the data.
A senior Pakistani official, also speaking on the condition of anonymity, said that the Pakistani government "believes that the suit in New York does not have a sound legal basis, and is based on conjecture".
What a more mature sound for the Mary Chain means is open to conjecture.
The story draws a parallel between the deep sensitivity of woodpeckers to the sound of bugs working inside old trees, and the conjecture that Sweeny may have seen images in the glass that disturbed her.
We've all seen those beautiful cartoons of the crowded environment inside a bacterium, and have watched mesmerizing videos like The Inner Life of the Cell [ 2], but those are artists' conceptions - based on sound science, to be sure, but still rife with conjecture.
Not as trivial as it sounds: it took almost a hundred years before his conjecture was proved by an eccentric Russian mathematician, Grigori Perelman, who then dramatically refused the million dollar prize for solving it.
This formula was actually conjectured independently by Arnold Sommerfeld [34] and Hendrik Lorentz [20] in 1910 who stated the Weyl's Law as a conjecture based on the book of Lord Rayleigh "The Theory of Sound" (1887) (for details, see [1]).
