'Why would you ruin your career?': OpenAI claims to have cracked one of math's greatest unsolved problems, but mathematicians allege it played dirty (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Tristan Buckmaster, a mathematician at New York University, had just spent months working on what he believed could be a life-defining mathematical proof. Then, during a Sept. 6 meeting with OpenAI employees, he claims that he was issued a stark warning: "Why would you ruin your career?" That exchange, which Buckmaster described in a detailed public statement this week, sits at the heart of a ballooning controversy around a famous set of mathematical equations called Navier-Stokes. OpenAI says i
Mathematicians made the world's fairest dice — they're 60-sided and can never end in a tie (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Over dinner at a gaming convention around 2010, board game designer James Ernest turned to his friend Eric Harshbarger and asked a question: Could you design a set of dice so that each player in a group — whether two people or any number — could grab one, roll and have a perfectly equal shot at going first? The rule is simple: Roll your dice, and whoever lands the highest number goes first. The hard part is making that outcome truly fair for every player, no matter how many are at the table. Har
Crystal made from 13-sided 'einstein' shape bends light in ways nobody imagined (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Physicists have built a crystal out of an "einstein" tile — an elusive shape mathematicians spent years searching for — and found that it bends light in a way no ordinary crystal can. In the new study, published July 29 in the journal Nature Communications, researchers arranged this never-repeating tile shape into a pattern of nanoscale holes. This structure, known as a photonic crystal, is designed to control the way light moves through it. When the team shined a laser at it, the crystal produc
'Feynman and followers, you guys are off': Physicists disprove decades-old Richard Feynman theory on 'silly' sprinklers (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Richard Feynman was a serious physicist who loved to answer unserious questions. Can math tell you how to order the optimal lunch? Can a human track scents like a bloodhound can by smelling his own footprints? Now, researchers have picked up one of Feynman's most curious unanswered questions by looking at the physics of "silly" sprinklers. A typical lawn sprinkler with an S-shaped nozzle spins in a given direction as it spews water from its two openings. But if you throw that sprinkler into a sw
'Complex numbers are not needed for quantum mechanics': Physicists develop quantum model that uses only 'real' numbers for first time ever (opens the original)
Read excerpt
For the first time, physicists have built a working version of quantum mechanics without complex numbers — numbers that have been considered essential to the theory for nearly a century. Complex numbers combine a regular "real" number with an "imaginary" one — a multiple of the square root of -1, represented by the symbol i — into a single value, like 3 + 4i. The square root of -1 doesn't correspond to any quantity you could count or measure directly (you can't have negative one apple, for insta
