- Toward a Quantum Theory of Humor - Researchers propose that cognitive humor can be modeled using the mathematical framework of quantum theory, based on an initial study involving 85 participant responses to 35 verbal pun jokes (as well as variants), published in Frontiers in Physics. http://journal.frontiersin.org/article/10.3389/fphy.2016.00053/full 12 comments science
- Atlantic Ocean is headed for a tipping point − once melting glaciers shut down the Gulf Stream, we would see extreme climate change within decades, according to new physics-based model of Atlantic meridional overturning circulation https://theconversation.com/atlantic-ocean-is-headed-for-a-tipping-point-once-melting-glaciers-shut-down-the-gulf-stream-we-would-see-extreme-climate-change-within-decades-study-shows-222834 428 comments science
- A new study has found that humans use visual cues to dynamically scale their internal coordinate system based on the size of a new environment. This raises concerns about the relevance of animal models using rodents, which rely upon physical cues to construct a rigid map with a fixed grid scale. https://news.utexas.edu/2017/04/12/human-cognitive-map-scales-according-to-surroundings 3 comments science
- Realistic ocean water reflections and foam, work in progress on the new Ocean system for Unity URP pipeline. The reflection model is based on physically based sky rendering with atmospheric scattering. The foam is based on water dynamics and a GPU based particle system. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UlypkFQymiY 13 comments unity3d
- Physicists report that an elementary particle called the W boson appears to be 0.1% too heavy. The new measurement differs drastically from predictions based on the Standard Model, suggesting that improvements to calculations or extensions to the standard model of particle physics might be needed. https://news.fnal.gov/2022/04/cdf-collaboration-at-fermilab-announces-most-precise-ever-measurement-of-w-boson-mass/ 21 comments science
