Solution: ‘Randomness From Determinism’
...two different interpretations: real or unreal. But if the worlds are unreal, then the Everett procedure is merely a mathematical artifice that allows you to imagine that the quantum evolution...
Black Hole Singularities Are as Inescapable as Expected
...singularity, it is not possible to evolve the equations of general relativity forward in time; evolution is only allowed along the space direction. Conversely, a particle approaching a timelike singularity...
Mathematician Proves Huge Result on ‘Dangerous’ Problem
...results of his career. Inputs and Outputs Partial differential equations, or PDEs, can be used to model many of the most fundamental physical processes in the universe, like the evolution...
Famous Fluid Equations Spring a Leak
...evolution of a fluid over time, just as Newton’s equations describe the motion of a billiard ball on a table. More exactly, the equations specify the instantaneous movement of infinitesimally...
Continents of the Underworld Come Into Focus
...sun?’ No. ‘What is it?’ We don’t know!” said Vedran Lekić, a seismologist at the University of Maryland. “And whatever it is, it is intimately tied to the evolution of...
Solution: ‘Natural Law and Elegant Math’
...together without loose ends. Evolution has made us cognitive beings by giving us small internal rewards whenever we solve a puzzle — a very effective strategy. So was Wigner right?...
Priya Natarajan on Black Holes and Mapping the Universe
...with Martin Rees, and on trying to understand how to integrate the growth formation and evolution of black holes into the larger picture of the assembly of galaxies and structure...
Immune Cell Assassins Reveal Their Nurturing Side
...it up. Metchnikoff didn’t immediately assume that these phagocytes are specialized for disease fighting and pathogen removal alone. Trained as an evolutionary biologist, he knew that simple organisms generally had...
Machine Learning Takes On Antibiotic Resistance
...much more effective.” To this end, they use computer models to quickly simulate evolutionary changes, including the effects of mutation, selection and genetic recombination, with feedback loops of that sequence...
