Velocity Dispersions in a Cluster of Stars: How Fast Could Usain Bolt Have Run?
Since that very memorable day at the Beijing 2008 Olympics, a big question on every sports commentator’s mind has been “What would the 100 meter dash world record have been, had Usain Bolt not celebrated at the end of his race?” Glen Mills, Bolt’s coach suggested at a recent press conference that the time could have been 9.52 seconds or better. We revisit this question by measuring Bolt’s posit...
متن کاملKippt der Weltrekord von Usain Bolt in London?
Mithilfe der Extremwerttheorie, einem wissenschaftlichen Ansatz zur Vorhersage von Größen seltener Ereignisse, wurde von verschiedenen Wissenschaftlern zu verschiedenen Zeitpunkten der ultimative Weltrekord für die 100 Meter berechnet. Eines gleich vorweg: Die Wissenschaftler sind sich nicht einig. Die Rekordvorhersagen differieren doch sehr. Die Extremwerttheorie wurde ursprünglich in den 50er...
متن کاملHow Could Language Have Evolved?
The evolution of the faculty of language largely remains an enigma. In this essay, we ask why. Language's evolutionary analysis is complicated because it has no equivalent in any nonhuman species. There is also no consensus regarding the essential nature of the language "phenotype." According to the "Strong Minimalist Thesis," the key distinguishing feature of language (and what evolutionary th...
متن کاملDynamical Wave Function Collapse: Could It Have Cosmological Consequences?
An interpretation of a theory may be defined as a set of rules for going from mathematical statements to statements about reality. In particular, given an initial state vector and the Hamiltonian governing its evolution, an interpretation of quantum theory should enable one to say which are the states which might be realized in nature, and their probabilities of realization. The famous so-calle...
متن کاملHow Fast Does the Walk Run ?
The Grr obner Walk is an algorithm which converts a given Grr obner basis of a polynomial ideal I of arbitrary dimension to a Grr obner basis of I with respect to another term order. The conversion is done in several steps (the walk) following a path in the Grr obner fan of I. We report on our experiences with a rst implementation of the walk connected with a state-of-the-art Grr obner basis pa...
