• Physics Is No Longer To Explain The World, Rather Predict Its Future

  …an be acceptable, I would like to, at least, get to know the context of this fairy tale and its concept. For example, it was mentioned that at the level of quanta there are certain "wormholes", in which jumps in time can occur. Maybe it was worded differently, but it’s not the point. What is this theory? Where did it come from? But not a word was said on that. Is it …

  …ral networks. We use neural networks in order to create predictive models, but they simplify the system to a great extent. What does that mean for us, researchers? We enter certain data into the neural network, it somehow summarizes and processes it. Then the neural network just gives us new data at the output. This does provide certain…

  …ldren of 10 to 14 years of age are offered to solve the tasks "King of the Hill" and "Bridges". In the first of the two, the robots must capture the top of the improvised "mountain" and not allow their competitors to get there. Task "Bridges" requires the well-coordinated work of two robots: a robot-engineer shall build bridges across ditches (rivers), and the second…

The authors have managed to provide theoretical and quantitative proof that a sequence of such pulses of certain parameters can create light-induced population density gratings with a spacing several times smaller than that of a light wave, as well as control these gratings’ spacing. Results of th…
