Concerns of an Artificial Intelligence Pioneer
...some of the stuff I would later be teaching in my book. But still, this was just a hobby; at the time my academic interest was physics. I did physics...
A Grand Theory of Wrinkles
...but they don’t provide much insight into the underlying physics. “There are these huge programs where they basically just put everything and the kitchen sink into it, and then yeah,...
Dark Energy Tested on a Tabletop
...physics,” said Burrage. “Pretty much anytime you want to go beyond that, the new physics you try and introduce gives you new scalar fields.” Scalar fields could produce dark energy...
‘Penguin’ Anomaly Hints at Missing Particles
...governed particle physics for 40 years. “What we find is that this anomaly has persisted,” said Guy Wilkinson, a physicist at the University of Oxford and the spokesperson for the...
Science’s Path From Myth to Multiverse
...Why did you focus on the history of physics and astronomy? Well, that’s what I know about; that’s where I have some competence. But there’s another reason: It’s in physics...
Mathematicians Chase Moonshine’s Shadow

In LHC’s Shadow, America’s Collider Awakens
...the plasma’s peculiar mathematical relationship to black holes, have revealed that it is an almost “perfect” liquid, possessing the lowest viscosity (or internal friction) allowed by quantum physics. A monitor...
