Condensed concepts

Weather involves many scales of distance, time, and energy. Describing weather means making decisions about what range of scales to focus o...

A nice preprint illustrates how emergence is central to some of the biggest questions in economics and finance. Emergent phenomena occur as ...

The concept of emergence is central to understanding sub-fields of physics and how they are related, and not related, to other sub-fields. T...

When is a phenomena truly emergent? Is there some objective quantitative criteria that one might use to decide? This is an issue becaus...

This is a very subtle question. I learnt a lot from a nice talk that Steve Kivelson gave on the subject. In a single component fluid [e.g....

Classical turbulence is hard enough to understand. How about turbulence in a quantum fluid such as superfluid helium? Is there any differen...

The renormalisation group and scaling has proven to be an extremely powerful technique in theoretical physics. It has even been succesfully ...

This week BIPH3001 is reading Life in the slow lane: The Low Reynolds-Number World, chapter 5 in Biological Physics: Energy, Information, L...

On Friday we had a nice clear and stimulating physics colloquium, Turbulent times in quantum physics from Brian Anderson. What are unique c...
