See also: “ A New Kind of Science : A 15-Year View ”. From the Foundations Laid by A New Kind of Science. When A New Kind of Science was published twenty years ago I thought what it had to say was important. In a sense, A New Kind of Science defines how one can use computation to think about things.

All in all, it’s a fascinating story, that both explains what’s been believed about thermodynamics, and provides some powerful examples of the complicated dynamics of the development and acceptance of ideas. It’s exciting now, of course, to be able to use the latest 21st-century ideas to take another step.

Synthetic biology: the power of modified microbes Published: Microbes are the world’s most brilliant chemists, able to turn simple sugars and other compounds into a vast array of complex chemicals. The general idea of synthetic biology is that we can engineer microbes to do things that naturally occurring microbes don’t do,” he says.

But in our Physics Project we’ve developed a fundamentally different view of space—in which space is not just a background, but has its own elaborate composition and structure. It’s no longer something baked into our basic ideas about space. But with this setup, what even is motion? And the second are black holes.

An elaborate description of a wild idea. In the forty years I knew Ed Fredkin I heard countless wild ideas and colorful stories from him. But it also led him to the idea that the universe must be a giant cellular automaton—whose program he could invent. A long and colorful story.

This gives each element a unique set of energy levels – a signature that shows up when X-rayed. When an X-ray beam interacts with a sample of brain tissue, only those elements with an excitation energy at or below the energy of the X rays will exhibit fluorescence.

One might have thought it was already exciting enough for our Physics Project to be showing a path to a fundamental theory of physics and a fundamental description of how our physical universe works. For three hundred years the mathematical paradigm was the state of the art in theoretical science—and immense progress was made using it.

32 Some Personal History: The Evolution of These Ideas. One of the many surprising (and to me, unexpected) implications of our Physics Project is its suggestion of a very deep correspondence between the foundations of physics and mathematics. But the idea is that they can both be seen as views of the same underlying structure.

The Second Law of thermodynamics is considered one of the great general principles of physical science. But it is only now—with ideas that have emerged from our Physics Project —that I think I can pull all the pieces together and finally be able to construct a proper framework to explain why—and to what extent—the Second Law is true.

And I spent much of the summer of 1972 writing my own (unseen by anyone else for 30+ years) Concise Directory of Physics that included a rather stiff page about energy, mentioning entropy—along with the heat death of the universe. For a couple of months I didn’t look seriously at the book.

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. In many ways, the ruliad is a strange and profoundly abstract thing.
