Learning Physics from the Cosmic Microwave Background
The Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) provides a precious window on fundamental physics at very high energy scales, possibly including quantum gravity, GUTs and supersymmetry. The CMB has already enabled defect-based rivals to inflation to be discarded, and will be able to falsify many inflationary models. In combination with other cosmological observations, including those of high-redshift sup...
متن کاملLearning physics from dynamical scenes
Humans acquire their most basic physical concepts early in development, but continue to enrich and expand their intuitive physics throughout life as they are exposed to more and varied dynamical environments. We introduce a hierarchical Bayesian framework to explain how people can learn physical theories across multiple timescales and levels of abstraction. In contrast to previous Bayesian mode...
متن کاملLocomotion: Control from the Periphery?
Studies of the neural control of locomotion have tended to focus on the modulation of motoneuron firing by premotor neurons; new work indicates that the regulation of synaptic transmission at the neuromuscular junction can also be important, revealing an inverse relationship between input resistance and synaptic output in motoneurons.
متن کاملDiscussing inequalities from the periphery
Recently, the Hungarian Geographical Bulletin – that had been a forum for introducing empirically focused papers covering various social and physical geographical issues for decades – became engaged increasingly in academic discourses on socio-spatial inequalities, embracing various approaches and problems with diff erent scalar foci. The theoretical and methodological diversity that ranged fro...
متن کاملAccelerated Internationalization from the Periphery
The paper develops an argument concerning the pluralistic character of the process of globalization, as contrasted with the conventional account that sees global processes creating uniformity and convergence. This alternative account is based on a series of case studies of latecomer and newcomer multinational corporations, such as Acer, Ispat International, Li & Fung and the Hong Leong Group; a...
