But the concept resonated, says Marcy Drummond, the college’s vice president of economic and social mobility innovation. And terms like “digital twins,” describing online copies of physical locations, have risen in prominence. So leaders at the college decided to build their own version. Some of the related concepts have also shifted.

The history of physics might make one think that numbers would be a necessary part of the structure of any fundamental theory of our physical universe. But the models of physics suggested by our Physics Project have no intrinsic reference to numbers. We discussed above the example of fundamental physics.

And there was something else: the computer system I’d built was a language that I’d realized (in a nod to my experience with reductionist physical science) would be the most powerful if it could be based on principles and primitives that were as minimal as possible. Mathematical physics. The Emergence of a New Kind of Science.

(For about three centuries it seemed as if mathematical equations were the ultimate way to describe the natural world—but in the past few decades , and particularly poignantly with our recent Physics Project , it’s become clear that simple programs are in general a more powerful approach.) How does all this relate to technology?

But by the end of the 1800s, with the existence of molecules increasingly firmly established, the Second Law began to often be treated as an almost-mathematically-proven necessary law of physics. The theory of heat will hereafter form one of the most important branches of general physics.

Food insecurity is a longstanding global problem that is tied to political, economic and social inequalities and inequities. The liberal arts consist of the natural sciences, like biology, ecology and neuroscience, formal sciences, like physics and maths, social sciences, and the humanities.
