Many of these students achieve most, if not all of their credit hours through online courses. When you take into account that a small portion of the population of K-12 children will not be best served by this type of virtual education model, there is a fair argument to be made for retaining traditional classrooms.

What has motivated me is the change that has occurred in governments and people in the climate change space. It is inspiring to see the research mainstreamed and the arguments of “is climate changing?” What are your proudest career achievements so far? An interesting academic exercise” was a common retort to my work.

DEFENCE – (in court) the argument that the accused person should not be found guilty. DEFENCE – (in court) the argument that the accused person should not be found guilty. My proudest achievement is completing my PhD. Aside from the ‘Prosecuting Rap’ project , my proudest achievements have been in teaching.

I was struck by the tight argumentation in the recent Vox essay, “ The incredible shrinking future of college ,” written by New America’s Kevin Carey. As someone who used to fight with city governments over public records, I like to imagine the Chron reporters buying antacids in bulk to deal with all the heartburn.)

But, first and foremost, the story of the Second Law is the story of a great intellectual achievement of the mid-19th century. But in other ways it’s also a cautionary tale, of how the forces of “conventional wisdom” can blind people to unanswered questions and—over a surprisingly long time—inhibit the development of new ideas.

Sometimes textbooks will gloss over everything; sometimes they’ll give some kind of “common-sense-but-outside-of-physics argument”. But there’s really just one principle that governs all these things: that whatever method we have to prepare or analyze states of a system is somehow computationally bounded. Why does the Second Law work?

It wasn’t clear how seriously anyone else was taking this (especially given that at the time I hadn’t seen the material Frisch had already written), but insofar as anything was “going on”, it seemed to be a perfectly collegial interaction—where perhaps Los Alamos or the French government or both would buy a Connection Machine computer.

And just like the speed of light governs the maximum rate at which effects can propagate in physical space, so similarly in our models there’s a “ maximum entanglement speed ” at which effects can propagate in branchial space. And we can trace the argument for this to the Principle of Computational Equivalence.

Ed was never officially a “test pilot”, but he told me stories about figuring out how to take his plane higher than anyone else—and achieving weightlessness by flying his plane in a perfect free-fall trajectory by maintaining an eraser floating in midair in front of him.

Part of what this achieves is to generalize beyond traditional mathematics the kind of constructs that can appear in models. Events are like functions, whose “arguments” are incoming tokens, and whose output is one or more outgoing tokens. But there is something else too—and it’s from this that the full computational paradigm emerges.
