"We have such a simple rule. Yet applying this rule over and over again produces something that looks really complicated. It’s not what our ordinary intuition tells us should happen. But actually—as I first discovered in the early 1980s—this kind of intrinsic, spontaneous generation of complexity turns out to be completely ubiquitous among simple rules … Continue reading Stephen Wolfram’s Fundamental Theory of Physics

Quantumcomputing For The Very Curious
"This essay explains how quantum computers work. It’s not a survey essay, or a popularization based on hand-wavy analogies. We’re going to dig down deep so you understand the details of quantum computing. Along the way, we’ll also learn the basic principles of quantum mechanics, since those are required to understand quantum computation.Learning this material … Continue reading Quantumcomputing For The Very Curious
From the Edge of the Universe to the Inside of a Proton
"But we should count ourselves lucky; there have not always been 62 orders of magnitude of universe to explore, and there won’t always be. As Scharf explained, 'If you turn the clock back far enough to the Big Bang, obviously there was a time when the number of scales that were causally connected were fewer, … Continue reading From the Edge of the Universe to the Inside of a Proton
