Complexity Simplicity is the website to discover a world of complex systems and the pop culture they inspire.complexitysimplicity.com Every level of complexity ...Joined June 2009
This summer, staff writer Charlie Wood (@walkingthedot) joined hundreds of physicists on a journey to Helgoland, the birthplace of quantum mechanics. The conversation was light, centering around questions like, where does our reality come from? quantamagazine.org/its-a-mess-a-b…
Something big is afoot. A suggestion that complexity increases over time, not just in living organisms but in the nonliving world, promises to rewrite notions of time and evolution. quantamagazine.org/why-everything…
Which came first: colorful signals or the color vision needed to see them? Scientists reconstructed 500 million years of evolutionary history to find out. @mollymherring reports: quantamagazine.org/when-did-natur…
Learning how to prevent invasive species from overrunning an ecosystem could save at-risk wildlife, prevent billions of dollars in environmental damage, and protect human gut health.

You’re looking at the tiny “footprints” of cilia, the hairlike threads that move some microscopic animals. The cilia of 𝘛𝘳𝘪𝘤𝘩𝘰𝘱𝘭𝘢𝘹 synchronize their movement like a flock of birds — even though the animal lacks a nervous system. quantamagazine.org/before-brains-… (From 2022)
Three thought experiments contribute to the unmistakable suspicion that space-time is not the most fundamental layer of our universe. quantamagazine.org/the-thought-ex…
The word “geometry” is Greek for “measuring the earth.” The mathematician Yang-Hui He thinks that it’s an instinctively human branch of mathematics. Tune in to “The Joy of Why” with co-host @stevenstrogatz.

An artificial neural network is completely different from a biological nervous system — even if you’re talking about the nervous system of a maggot.

The brain is a dense, thorny network of neurons, which come in many flavors and whose behaviors are controlled by a menagerie of molecules released on precise timescales. It is staggeringly more complex than an AI algorithm. quantamagazine.org/ai-is-nothing-…
Biofilms can form many unique shapes. When they’re given different nutrients — a new sugar source, less protein or more salt — entirely different topographies emerge. quantamagazine.org/how-a-biofilms…
Each type of touch neuron can detect specific sensations, such as vibration or temperature; together they generate our complex touch experience. quantamagazine.org/touch-our-most…
Is life itself, and perhaps consciousness and higher intelligence, inevitable in the universe? That depends on how complexity evolves.

How did single cells find a way to connect and become more complex? The question has taken one biologist on the journey of a lifetime — or rather, thousands of lifetimes. Learn more about the multi-generational experiment cracking open the secrets of multicellularity on “The Joy…
Some aspects of the universe will remain forever hidden to the theorists who ponder it. They will have to be satisfied instead with discovering where those impenetrable pockets lie.

“Keystone species” aren’t abundant. But if they’re removed, entire ecosystems could collapse. “Keystone molecules,” similarly, are rare. These chemicals structure, shape and alter connections across entire ecosystems. quantamagazine.org/a-new-chemical…
