The Algorithmic Beauty of Sea Shells by Hans Meinhardt, 4th ed. 2009

For centuries scientists have tried to understand the growth and development of multicellular organisms. More recently, with the help of mathematical models and computerized simulations, they have discovered algorithmic patterns and models that seem to describe the dynamic processes in which organisms grow, reproduce, and respond to external factors

New PPPL paper uses higher fidelity computer simulation (at NERSC) to evaluate our plan to handle plasma disruption problems in SPARC. TL;dr: the new simulation validates our approach, six injectors that squirt in gas to rapidly cool the plasma.

How Do We Know We’re Not #Living in a #ComputerSimulation?

Being #alive is an indescribably #weird and remarkable #experience... but we may not even be.

Trump‘s re-election settles it.

We’re clearly living in a computer simulation, popularized by the movie, The Matrix.

Only problem is that things have gotten so bizarre that I expect the aliens to pull the plug any minute and we’ll all be gone in a puff of dissolving electrons 🤯

“It has been 24 years since #TheMatrix popularised the idea that reality is an illusion and that we are all actually lying in pods of fluid, serving as nutrients for machines.”

Every new day brings the opportunity to learn new things.
I would like to thanks to Gal Yosefi Cullari, Ronit Bitton and Hanna Rapaport for allowing me to take a part in the study of self-assembling of PFX-peptides based membrane.

Astrophysik und IT-Sicherheit: An der Philipps-Universität Marburg sowie auch in Hessen erhält Prof. Dr. Mark Vogelsberger eine LOEWE-Spitzen-Professur für den Forschungsbereich der Künstlichen Intelligenz. Das Forschungsförderprogramm LOEWE des Landes Hessen stellt für die Ausstattung seiner Professur rund 2,2 Millionen Euro über einen Zeitraum von fünf Jahren bereit.

Initial #JWST observations have shown that #firstgalaxies appeared to be brighter and more massive than previously thought. Now, #researchers have developed a new #computersimulation of the #earlyuniverse that closely aligns with observations made by the #Webbtelescope and do not contradict theoretical expectations.

Ein Forscher der Universität Portsmouth hat analysiert, ob ein aktuelles physikalisches Prinzip die kontrovers diskutierte Hypothese unterstützen könnte, dass wir möglicherweise nur Charaktere in einer hochentwickelten virtuellen Realität sind.
