As winter begins, keeping kids both physically and mentally active becomes a challenging task for parents and educators. Focusing on STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) activities can be an excellent strategy to keep students engaged in winter.

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. And some places where we can expect the concept of numbers to be useful.

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. In the language of our Physics Project, it’s the ultimate limit of all rulial multiway systems. For integers, the obvious notion of equivalence is numerical equality.

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. There were still mathematical loose ends, as well as issues such as its application to living systems and to systems involving gravity.

And indeed it increasingly seems as if the “secret” that nature uses to make the complexity it so often shows is exactly to operate according to the rules of simple programs. And indeed over the past three centuries there’s been lots of success in doing this, mainly by using mathematical equations.
