Below are five engineering activities that use everyday items: Popsicle Stick Bridges: Use popsicle sticks and glue to construct bridges. This experiment teaches about impact forces and materials science. This is a fun way to explore geometric shapes and stability in construction.

It’s yet another surprising construct that’s arisen from our Physics Project. And it’s one that I think has extremely deep implications—both in science and beyond. For integers, the obvious notion of equivalence is numerical equality. In some ways it’s a bit like our efforts to construct the ruliad.

When most working mathematicians do mathematics it seems to be typical for them to reason as if the constructs they’re dealing with (whether they be numbers or sets or whatever) are “real things”. And we can think of that ultimate machine code as operating on things that are in effect just abstract constructs—very much like in mathematics.

How do we achieve this? Presumably it’s that we can sample space without having to think about time, or in other words, that we can consistently construct a stable notion of space. Let’s say that we’re trying to achieve the objective of having an efficient transportation system for carrying people around.

It began partly as an empirical law, and partly as something abstractly constructed on the basis of the idea of molecules, that nobody at the time knew for sure existed. But, first and foremost, the story of the Second Law is the story of a great intellectual achievement of the mid-19th century.

Given a defined “goal”, an AI can automatically work towards achieving it. Most of our existing intuition about “machinery” and “automation” comes from a kind of “clockwork” view of engineering—in which we specifically build systems component by component to achieve objectives we want. And that’s where we humans come in.
