A Fundamental Theory to Model the Mind
...frequent smaller collapses wherever he looked. His 1996 book, “How Nature Works,” extended the concept beyond simple sand piles to other complex systems: earthquakes, financial markets, traffic jams, biological evolution,...
Time’s Arrow Traced to Quantum Source
...several years studying the evolution of particles in terms of shuffling 1s and 0s. He found that as the particles became increasingly entangled with one another, the information that originally...
In a Grain, a Glimpse of the Cosmos
...the other scientists have spent the past two years working out a plausible backstory for the peculiar concoction. “That’s how we build up our understanding of the evolution of the...
Finding Dark Energy in the Details
...then we can say, “Do we live in this kind of universe, or this kind?” What do the data so far tell us about wa? They’re consistent with no evolution...
Scientists Conjure Curves From Flatness
...5-7 pairs in many biological systems is the result of evolution or pure mechanics. “The funny thing is that the plant does it automatically,” Rivier said. “You cannot cut the...
Quantum Computing Without Qubits
...analog quantum computing with optical lattices and cold atom traps. What are the main challenges for these quantum simulators? Because the evolution of the analog simulation is not digitized, the...
The Particle That Broke a Cosmic Speed Limit
...window into the laws of physics at otherwise unreachable scales — maybe even connecting particle physics with the evolution of the cosmos as a whole. At the very least, they...
A Private View of Quantum Reality
...speed of light is the ultimate speed limit, we’re saying that we can’t go beyond the speed of light. But just as our brains have gotten bigger through Darwinian evolution,...
The Fuzzball Fix for a Black Hole Paradox
...hole information paradox. The Horizon Problem Mathur’s fuzzball conjecture owes its evolution to his longstanding fascination with this paradox, another consequence of Hawking radiation. Hawking noted that according to quantum...
