Extreme climate and weather events are unusual rare that often cause a lot of damage both to nature people. They take place in the air (storms, tornadoes, heavy rain, atmospheric rivers), ocean (storm surges, marine heatwaves), on land (wildfires, heatwaves, floods, droughts). Many extremes happen naturally, even without change. But Earth’s changing does change where how some extreme place, str...

At very high energy the same universal relation between the multiparticle or the transverse energy distribution associated to a rare event C, P C and the corresponding minimum bias distribution P, P C (ν) ≡ ν/ < ν > P (ν), ν ≡ n or E T works for nucleus-nucleus collisions as well as for hadron-hadron collisions. This suggests that asymptotically, all hadronic processes are similar.

The collapse of the roof of the Baltimore & Ohio (B&O) Railroad Museum Roundhouse onto its collections during a snowstorm in 2003 provides a starting point for our exploration of the link between learning and rare events. The collapse occurred as the museum was preparing for another rare event: the Fair of the Iron Horse, an event planned to celebrate the 175th anniversary of American railroadi...
