Why Explore Nature with Children? Now, more than ever, getting outdoors and exploring nature is essential. Exploring Nature with Children. In fact, I was visiting Muir Woods when I found the book How to Raise a Wild Child the Art and Science of Falling in Love with Nature in the shop there. What is a Wild Child?

Design a School Garden STEM Project By Claire Meschkat One of the most rewarding STEM activities is when students can take a design and bring it to life in a real-world setting! We just completed this epic project at my school, and I am sharing how you can do it too! Lead them through the science of planning a garden as well!

At the Illinois Institute of Technology in Chicago, USA, Dr Wei Zhang , a professor of food science, is focusing on improving food safety for everyone. The pathogens also have techniques that allow them to survive in cold temperatures – such as in refrigerators – and in dry spaces that lack water. 420,000 of those people die.

So what about science? But that certainly doesn’t mean AI can’t importantly help the progress of science. But what I want to do here is to discuss what amount to deeper questions about AI in science. Three centuries ago science was transformed by the idea of representing the world using mathematics.

We might have thought that we could do science “purely objectively” without any reference to observers or their nature. But what we’ve discovered particularly dramatically in our Physics Project is that the nature of us as observers is critical even in determining the most fundamental laws we attribute to the universe.

And indeed with the view of physical space that’s been almost universally adopted for the past two thousand years it’s basically a non-question. As crystallized by the likes of Euclid it’s assumed that space is ultimately just a kind of “geometrical background” into which any physical thing can be put—and then moved around.

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. I’d politely ask for details.

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.

The Second Law of thermodynamics is considered one of the great general principles of physical science. But back in the 1980s, as I began to explore the computational universe of simple programs, I discovered a fundamental phenomenon that was immediately reminiscent of the Second Law. But our Physics Project has changed that picture.

We can think of this as being “spacelike separated” from the others, and happening at a “different place in space” asynchronously from the others.

My goal here is to explore some of the science, technology—and philosophy—of what we can expect from AIs. There’s a direct analog of this in the realm of ideas: that with time higher and higher levels of abstraction are developed, that subsume what were formerly laborious details and specifics. What will AIs be able to do?
