The Unknown Particles of the Universe

STEMe

These particles, known as elementary particles, and their attributes create everything we know of and explain why things do what they do. Further research into elementary particles could yield explanations for black holes, gravity, and other unsolved mysteries currently present in the scientific world. microseconds.

The Concept of the Ruliad

Stephen Wolfram

For integers, the obvious notion of equivalence is numerical equality. The most elementary example of something like this is the statement ( already present in Euclid ) that if and , then. Then (by the assumed properties of equality) it follows that. elementary updating events) in physical space.

How Inevitable Is the Concept of Numbers?

Stephen Wolfram

Instead, what happens is that the universe evolves by virtue of lots of elementary updating events happening throughout the network. No doubt there’ll at least be some “natural-science-like” characterizations of what’s going on. But at the lowest level in our models, time doesn’t work that way. Last[#][[1]]], GrayLevel[0.5,

The Physicalization of Metamathematics and Its Implications for the Foundations of Mathematics

Stephen Wolfram

And if we’re going to make a “general theory of mathematics” a first step is to do something like we’d typically do in natural science, and try to “drill down” to find a uniform underlying model—or at least representation—for all of them. and at t steps gives a total number of rules equal to: &#10005. &#10005.

I have taught science in a number of formal and informal settings, including the San Diego Natural History Museum, Cardiff Elementary School in San Diego County and San Diego State University. . . Equally challenging is the predicament of the American science teacher.
