From scheduling of I/O in disk drives to airplane boarding and back to flash drive codin

Abstract
We show how the problems of optimally scheduling I/O in disk drives, analysis of aiplane borading strategies and optimizing certain WOM lattice codes can all be understood in  terms of concentric "circles" ! in various space-time geometry domains.
If time permits, I will try to convince you that the orbit of the earth around the sun is uniformly random (god plays a lot of dice), show how to make slow passengers invisible to the airplane boarding process
(naturally using optics) and how Fermat's last theorem! is related to express lines in the supermarket and to certain boarding policies.
