Symmetry, the beauty, of the Universe uncovered by Emmy Noether [via Quanta Magazine] 🧪⚗️➕✖️⭐

"[She] discovered that #conservation laws aren’t fundamental axioms of the #universe... they emerge from deeper #symmetries."

This video shows some atmospheric optical phenomena.
In the center you see the image of the Sun. Two sundogs glow distinctly from both the left and the right.

Also visible are the bright 22° halo and the rarer, much fainter 46° halo.⤵️

How can we model the complexity of agents interacting with their worlds? How can we represent individual autonomy in mathematical terms? Here's a classic paper by Randall Beer with a dynamical systems perspective core.ac.uk/download/pdf...

From the academic consequences of remote learning, to pricing carbon, to the cost of species extinction: here are the 10 most-read Featured Charts of 2024. #econsky www.aeaweb.org/research/cha...

Mathematician, physicist, and computer scientist, the great polymath (omnimath is more like it) John von Neumann was born #OTD in 1903.

He considered his quantum mechanics contributions to be most important. To get a sense of the breadth of his work look at his Wikipedia “known for” list. 🧪 ⚛️ 💻 🧮

#Memory. What is it & how does it work? The word is used for both minds & computers. Where else does it fit? What's its role in emergence & #complexity? 🧵🕸️

In the paper below, @gnoli.eu takes an informational approach to this #liminal stage.

Have your @matplotlib.bsky.social plots ever looked a little fuzzy or low-res in @projectjupyter.bsky.social notebooks? Try configuring matplotlib for retina displays with this command 🧪

%config InlineBackend.figure_format = 'retina'

In 1994 when I worked at Kitt Peak National Observatory, @todlauer.bsky.social made an off-hand comment about grape plasma in the microwave. Being an experimental physicist (read as “nerd”) I immediately tried it during night lunch.

Who knew it was come to this? 🧪🔭⚛️

Mathematician John Conway was born #OTD in 1937. 🧪

He made broad and profound contributions across all of mathematics, but he is maybe best known by the general public for his "game of life" cellular automaton.

Conway passed away in 2020, from COVID-19.

🧪What do you all think of this? Scientists at Northwestern University have been able to achieve long-distance transfer of quantum information over existing, in use, fiber optic networks.

Does this usher in a potential new era of data communications?
