• Avengers and Time Travel: Scientific Perspective

  …y fast (for example, at the speed of light), time would pass more slowly than it would for the rest of us on Earth. So time travel is theoretically possible, according to the laws of physics — but only into the future, not the past. This principle is described in Pierre Boulle’s novel Planet of the Apes. The plot revolves around a group of astronauts who crash-lan…

• Movie Chitter-Chatter: The Last Jedi

  … plot is narrated is commendably very inventive. And I very much enjoyed the fact that TLJ tried to break that superhero cliché mold. Like, it showed that good guys can have flaws, massively screw up a lot of people, and even throw a mutiny because other good guys’ plans weren’t good enough for them. And that, likewise, bad guys can give you a helping hand provided t…

• Polytechnic Museum’s Curator Alexey Semikhatov: Logic and Math Help Us Predict the Unknown

  …overy of the law of gravity. It was then that two key things were made clear to the scientist: that the earthly and the celestial are one and the same and subject to the same laws, and therefore that both can be predicted. A crucial part of any prediction is a law. First, the laws of nature were treated as godly l

  …ion to sort items by their visual appearance. As a current example, our system is able to sort bottle caps by color. The algorithm can also be adjusted to check for external flaws and to sort items by size. Because of its modular nature, the project can be customized for various tasks and production types. We also plan various additions, such as other modes of…

• University of Mexico’s Carlos Gershenson: Computers Are Telescopes With Which We Study Complex Systems

  …for all. To understand the influence of complex systems analysis on modern science, we need only recall how research was done before. Scientists aimed to establish the laws of a phenomena and predict future. It’s almost like Laplace's demon: with a high enough level of intelligence, we’d be able to predict the entire past and future of the universe. But tha…

  … the project, which led to a complete rewrite and the release of a second version. We fulfilled a huge number of requests, strengthened the API, removed some of the original flaws, and rewrote everything for TypeScript. It took us a year to do that. We don’t have that many engineers, and we usually work on several projects simultaneously, so it dragged on. At some po…

• Interdisciplinary Innovations at ITMO University: In Conversation With ChemBio Professor Ekaterina Skorb

  …ics, biology, and sociology. Together we can build both chemical and mathematical models which would allow us to revolutionize material studies. Knowing the reactions and the laws of nature we can create structures with mathematical formations. We think that chemistry is the most promising way to describe nonlinear systems because we can understand the role of each b…
