Just a week after an AI disproved an 80-year-old conjecture and astonished mathematicians, another conjecture that had stood for half a century has fallen, inspired by the same techniques, but this ...

“I helped set in motion a revolution that aims to rebuild something like a true liberal democracy in America,” Barry C. Lynn wrote two years ago in Harper’s. The claim is notable less for being ...

A rewrite of quantum mechanics that includes the force of gravity could finally achieve one of physicists’ biggest goals and reveal the ultimate fuzziness of time ...

For nearly 80 years, mathematicians believed they understood the limits of a famous geometry puzzle first posed by legendary Hungarian mathematician Paul Erdős. Now, an AI model developed by OpenAI ...

In October 2024 I attended a workshop at Harvard University where mathematicians talked through the uses of artificial intelligence in their field. Most were less worried about the future of math than ...

The prisoner’s dilemma looks simple, but this video shows why it became one of the most dangerous ideas in game theory. After the Soviet Union tested its first nuclear bomb, the United States faced a ...

If you could take an apple and break it into smaller and smaller parts, you would find molecules, then atoms, followed by subatomic particles like protons and the quarks and gluons that make them up.

Let's keep things simple – this is basic math. Nothing scary. Just everyday calculations, a bit of geometry, some number patterns, and the kind of stuff you definitely learned in school at some point.

Abstract: This article presents a geometric reachable-set-theory-based solution for spacecraft orbital rendezvous under constant-magnitude continuous thrust, addressing two problems: minimum-time ...
