In a recent paper, SFI Professor David Wolpert, SFI Fractal Faculty member Carlo Rovelli, and physicist Jordan Scharnhorst examine a longstanding, paradoxical thought experiment in statistical physics ...

We experience the flow of time because it’s a natural outcome of the basic laws of physics. But we may need to build a whole ...

Time series analysis forms an essential part of modern data science by examining sequential data to unravel the underlying dynamics of complex systems. In particular, entropy-based measures quantify ...

Can quantum systems become more disordered, as thermodynamics would predict? Yes, they can - if a proper definition of "entropy" is used. It is one of the most important laws of nature that we know: ...

Entropy. Randomness. Disorder. Think of it as the universe’s tendency to move from ordered to disordered forms. It is a scientific concept of something that increases over time and something that is ...
