A new mathematical 'blueprint' is accelerating fusion device development
|

Phys dot org ^
| June 22, 2023 | Massachusetts Institute of Technology
Developing commercial fusion energy requires scientists to understand sustained processes that have never before existed on Earth. But with so many unknowns, how do we make sure we're designing a device that can successfully harness fusion power?We can fill gaps in our understanding using computational tools like algorithms and data simulations to
knit together experimental data and theory, which allows us to optimize fusion device designs before they're built, saving much time and resources.Currently, classical supercomputers are used to run simulations of plasma physics and fusion energy scenarios, but to address the many design and operating challenges that still remain,...

Mathematical Flaws in Ranked Choice Voting Are Rare but Real

| May 3, 2023 | David McCune, Adam Graham-Squire
A political movement in the U.S. is encouraging municipalities and states to adopt ranked choice voting as a supposedly more representative voting method. In
new research, David McCune and Adam Graham-Squire analyze the theoretical and historically observed flaws of ranked choice voting and argue that politicians and voters must weigh both its benefits and shortcomings when considering adoption. Should more cities and states adopt ranked choice voting (RCV) for municipal and state elections? Is RCV a “good” way to select election winners? These questions are not easily resolved, as the answer depends on what one wants from a voting method...

Howie’s poll question of the day yesterday asked “Who is the biggest piece of white trash in America?” The results are in: Hunter Biden. Endless transgressions – criminal and otherwise — have been committed by Hunter Biden. In fact, I am hard pressed to find anything that the President’s son has done
that could be considered a moral or personal achievement. Certainly, we can’t praise him for his brief affair with his dead brother’s widow, although President Biden and Dr. Jill thought it was just charming. In a statement released after that scandalous story broke, Sleepy Joe gave his public...

The Virginia Calculator: Thomas Fuller, African “slave” and Mathematical Genius Who Never Went to School
|
| |
The Weekly Challenger ^
Thomas Fuller, familiarly known as the Virginia Calculator, was a native of Africa. At the age of fourteen he was stolen, and sold into slavery in Virginia, where he found himself the property of a planter residing about four miles from Alexandria. Born in Africa somewhere between present-day Liberia and Benin,
Fuller was enslaved and shipped to America in 1724 at the age of 14, eventually becoming the legal property of Presley and Elizabeth Cox of Alexandria, Virginia. The Coxes owned 16 slaves, and appeared to value Fuller the most; he expressed gratitude for not being sold. He did...

by Technion - Israel Institute of Technology Credit: CC0 Public Domain Using AI and computer automation, Technion researchers have developed a 'conjecture generator' that creates mathematical conjectures, which are considered to be the starting point for developing mathematical theorems. They
have already used it to generate a number of previously unknown formulas. The study, which was published in the journal Nature, was carried out by undergraduates from different faculties under the tutelage of Assistant Professor Ido Kaminer of the Andrew and Erna Viterbi Faculty of Electrical Engineering at the Technion. The project deals with one of the most fundamental elements...

Mathematical Evidence the Election was Stolen

Seizing dictatorial powers in Iraq in 1979 and declaring himself president, Saddam Hussein held two referendums, in 1995 and 2002, to show the world he had his people's "popular support." Voters
were simply asked to respond "yes" or "no" to the question, "Do you approve of President Saddam Hussein being the President of the Republic?" Of 8.4 million votes cast in 1995, Saddam won 99.96%. In 2002, he did better, hitting 100% – not a single "no" vote was registered. Saddam may have been impressed with such sham results, but the world community was not. An incident occurring during our...

"According to CBS News, President Trump does not plan to concede in the event that the media declares Joe Biden the winner of the election, and elected the 46th president of the United States. The Trump campaign and it’s top advisers called for multiple lawsuits on the grounds that the ongoing vote
count would result in tallying illegally cast ballots. The lawsuits will amount to an aggressive effort to highlight anomalies, statistical impossibilities, or other perceived problems that could affect vote counts before a final presidential winner is declared.

...The first anomaly is Joe Biden’s missing coattails and Trump’s missing coat. Trump’s
70 million voters are people who have a specific vision of America. They see it as a nation with a constitutionally limited government, a color-blind melting pot of people all holding fealty to America, and a place for an honestly run free market. They want low taxes, no unnecessary foreign wars, a secure border, energy independence, and high support for Israel combined with low support for the U.N., to name a few things. These are not people who would split the ticket, returning Trump to the White...

The mathematical values of Linear A fraction signs: Unravelling number enigmas on ancient Crete
|
| |
EurekAlert! ^
| September 7, 2020 | Elsevier
The team first studied the rules that the signs followed on the clay tablets and other accounting documents. Two
problems had so far complicated the decipherment of Linear A fractions. First, all documents containing sums of fractional values with a registered total were damaged or difficult to interpret, and second, they contradicted uses of certain signs, which suggest the system changed over time. Thus, the starting premise had to rely on documents concentrated to a specific period (ca. 1600-1450 BCE), when the numerical system was in coherent use across Crete. To investigate the possible values of each fractional sign, the...

A new mathematical model predicts a knot's stability
|

Phys .Org ^
| 3 Jan 2020 | Jennifer Chu
But what exactly makes one knot more stable than another has not been well-understood, until now. MIT
mathematicians and engineers have developed a mathematical model that predicts how stable a knot is, based on several key properties, including the number of crossings involved and the direction in which the rope segments twist as the knot is pulled tight. With confidence in their model, Patil then simulated more complicated knots, taking note of which knots experienced more pressure and were therefore stronger than other knots. Once they categorized knots based on their relative strength, Patil and Dunkel looked for an explanation...

The Surprisingly Solid Mathematical Case of the Tin Foil Hat Gun Prepper
Or, “Who Needs an AR-15 Anyway?”

| 4/20/2018 | BJ Campbell
As gun policy discussions unfold in the wake of mass shooter incidents, they routinely end in three buckets. ThereÂ’s
the “tyranny can never happen here” bucket, which the left has mostly abdicated in the wake of Trump winning after they called (and still call) him a tyrant. There’s the “you can’t fight the army with small arms” bucket, which is increasingly unsound given our ongoing decade-and-a-half war with Afghani tribal goat herders. And there’s the “what the hell do you need an AR-15 for anyway?” bucket, which, by its very language, eschews a fundamental lack of understanding of what those...

A Mathematical Model Unlocks the Secrets of Vision

This is the great mystery of human vision: Vivid pictures of the world appear before our mind’s eye, yet the brain’s visual system receives very little information from the world itself. Much
of what we “see” we conjure in our heads. “A lot of the things you think you see you’re actually making up,” said Lai-Sang Young, a mathematician at New York University. “You don’t actually see them.” New research suggests mathematics is the key. The visual cortex has a mind of its own. “You may think of the brain as taking a photograph of what you see in your...

Mathematical Challenges to Darwin’s Theory of Evolution with Berlinski, Meyer, and Gelernter

Hoover Institution - Uncommon Knowledge ^
| 7/22/2019 | Stephen Meyer, David Berlinski, David Gelernter, Peter Robinson
Recorded on June 6, 2019 in Italy. Based on new evidence and knowledge that functioning proteins are extremely rare, should Darwin’s theory of evolution be dismissed, dissected, developed or replaced with a theory of intelligent design? Has
Darwinism really failed? Peter Robinson discusses it with David Berlinski, David Gelernter, and Stephen Meyer, who have raised doubts about Darwin’s theory in their two books and essay, respectively The Deniable Darwin, Darwin’s Doubt, and “Giving Up Darwin” (published in the Claremont Review of Books).
