But, first and foremost, the story of the Second Law is the story of a great intellectual achievement of the mid-19th century. Already the steam-engine works our mines, impels our ships, excavates our ports and our rivers, forges iron, fashions wood, grinds grain, spins and weaves our cloths, transports the heaviest burdens, etc.

How do we achieve this? Let’s say that we’re trying to achieve the objective of having an efficient transportation system for carrying people around. But does it have to be that way, or is it merely that numbers provide a convenient way to set things up so that we humans can understand what’s going on?

A nanometre (nm) is a unit of measurement equal to a billionth of a metre, or 0.000001 mm. There are currently 38 research groups in CeNS, and they share their skills and equipment with each other, resulting in scientific discoveries that could not be achieved if individual nanoscientists were working alone.

Indeed, the Zeroth Law of thermodynamics is essentially the statement that “statistically unique” equilibrium can be achieved, which in terms of energy becomes a statement that there is a unique notion of temperature.

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.

For integers, the obvious notion of equivalence is numerical equality. Then (by the assumed properties of equality) it follows that. In other words, we’re concerned more with what computational results are obtained, with what computational resources, rather than on the details of the program constructed to achieve this.

And I think it’s fair to say that this wasn’t easy to achieve—and in the end required a pretty deep dive into the technology of imaging and printing (as I’ll describe more in a later section). But there’s a standard way to achieve the appearance of gray, by changing the local density of black and white. format of my Version 2.0

We’ve already got heat transfer , mass transport and acoustics. And now we can for example find the maximum 3, 3 component of the strain tensor and the position where it’s achieved: &#10005. We can also take a single video and “summarize” it as a series of video + audio snippets, chosen for example equally spaced in the video.
