Using machine learning, string theorists are finally showing how microscopic configurations of extra dimensions translate into sets of elementary particles â though not yet those of our universe.
-
A group of prominent biologists and philosophers announced a new consensus: Thereâs âa realistic possibilityâ that insects, octopuses, crustaceans, fish and other overlooked animals experience consciousness.
