A groundbreaking computational physics framework has demonstrated that the three-dimensional fabric of the universe can be generated from scratch using a simple algorithm with exactly zero free ...

This tension between Being and Becoming was recorded in early Greek philosophy. Parmenides presented reality as timeless, ...

This is an example of time dilation, a consequence of the idea that time and space are not absolute - meaning all observers do not always measure these quantities as the same. In everyday life we use ...

A theoretical framework proposed by Erwin Schrödinger a century ago to explain human colour perception has been formally completed, with researchers resolving a key mathematical gap that had limited ...

Tao: Today there are a lot of very tedious types of mathematics that we don’t like doing, so we look for clever ways to get ...

When your AI assistant calculates revenue, bonuses, VAT or financial summaries, it isn’t doing math. It’s telling a convincing story about numbers.

We can tie knots in three dimensions because one-dimensional ropes “catch on each other”. This is why a long rope wound around itself, if done right, won’t come apart. We trust knots with our lives ...

We generally associate the origins of mathematical thinking with the emergence of writing, about five to six thousand years ago. However, a new study challenges this assumption looking at floral ...

One ball on a Plinko board is unpredictable. Drop a thousand and they form a near-perfect bell curve—one of math’s most powerful ideas for 150+ years.

A University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa student-led team has developed a new algorithm to help scientists determine direction in ...

The redesigned sequence separates linear algebra and differential equations into more specialized tracks while eliminating ...
