A superpowered model of the whole universe

Futurum

“Dark matter and dark energy are terms used by astronomers to describe some of the strange observed phenomena that we see in the Universe, but that we can’t explain with standard physics,” explains Dr Sownak Bose, a computational cosmologist at Durham University. The laws of cosmology – gravity, dark energy, etc.

Examining the extremely small

Futurum

“Nanoscientists manipulate materials at the atomic and molecular level, and thus nanoscience merges physics, chemistry, materials science and biology,” explains Susanne. Nanoscience goes beyond these traditional borders, which is why CeNS strives to bring together researchers from physics, chemistry, biology, pharmacy and medicine.”

The Story Continues: Announcing Version 14 of Wolfram Language and Mathematica

Stephen Wolfram

And, yes, our Wolfram U operation is now emerging as a significant educational entity, with many thousands of students at any given time. You need to have a streamlined way to set up the complicated equations that come out of underlying physics. And in Version 13.2 are Comap and ComapApply. Another example concerns date arithmetic.

How Did We Get Here? The Tangled History of the Second Law of Thermodynamics

Stephen Wolfram

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. Lazare Carnot died in 1823.
