Machine Learning’s ‘Amazing’ Ability to Predict Chaos
...recent successes in artificial intelligence — to predict the future evolution of chaotic systems out to stunningly distant horizons. The approach is being lauded by outside experts as groundbreaking and...
The Elusive Calculus of Insects’ Altruism and Kin Selection
...may help to change the math and shift the debate. In 1964, the evolutionary biologist William D. Hamilton seemingly explained one of the greatest paradoxes in biology with a simple...
How the DNA Computer Program Makes You and Me
...humans, is much smaller than the X chromosome, as it has been losing genes over evolutionary time (note that the genes are still around: They have just migrated to other...
Complex Animals Led to More Oxygen, Says Maverick Theory
...Darwinian evolution needed time to arrive at that tipping point. “The gene regulatory network to build an animal is the most complex algorithm that evolution has ever produced,” he said....
How Einstein Lost His Bearings, and With Them, General Relativity
...— describe how the shape of space-time evolves in response to the presence of matter and energy. To describe that evolution, you need to impose on space-time a coordinate system...
To Test Einstein’s Equations, Poke a Black Hole
...response. Einstein’s field equations describe the evolution of the shape of space-time. You give the equations information about curvature and energy at each point, and the equations tell you the...
Oxygen and Stem Cells May Have Reshaped Early Complex Animals
...rapid proliferation and diversification of animal life that, half a billion years ago, forever changed Earth’s evolutionary landscape. In spite of Påhlman’s initial reservations, however, the pair has collaborated over...
New Giant Viruses Further Blur the Definition of Life
...in translation, the synthesis of proteins — a finding that came as a shock. “It appears that giant viruses are as complex as living organisms,” said Chantal Abergel, an evolutionary...
Elusive Higgs-Like State Created in Exotic Materials
...that it was possible to use existing theoretical tools to explain the evolution of the Higgs mode. Keimer’s group found that the Higgs mode parallels the behavior of the Higgs...
