what can you find out about the Ion Brezoianu for whom a street in Bucharest is named?
Apparently one of the men whose fame is ultimately based almost exclusively on a street named after them. Ion Brezoianu, 1817-1883, probably a moderately important figure in Romanian national revival. A pedagogue and author of a book called "Manualul mumelor". I was unable to quickly find what mumelor (or mume, which is the guessed singular nominative indefinite form) means. I am also a bit confused, because the street is called Strada actor Ion Brezoianu, but what I have found doesn't indicate he was an actor.
As for the method, I have searched for "Ion Brezoianu" -strada -nr -str to eliminate the overwhelming number of links to the street name, and after I have found the years of birth and death, I have included them into the search.
Recently in another topic I mentioned the "two bishops against two knights" chess endgame problem. I claimed it was investigated over two decades ago by a computer program and established that it is a win situation for the two bishops' side. Then I was unable to Google a solid reference for my claim.
I also remember a "Hermes Set Theory". It was something like ZFC, regarded as a valid Set Theory axiom system for 40 years, until a paradox was found inside. Now, I can't Google it out.
And then it was the so called "Baryon number conservation law", which was postulated for a short while in physics. Until it was found that a subatomic decay may in fact in/decrease the number of baryons in the process. I can't Google that one either.
Is that just me, or what?
