Einstein's 1917 paper, "Cosmological Considerations in the General Theory of Relativity," applied general relativity to the universe as a whole, establishing a firmer basis for cosmology. To create a ...

After cracking an unsolvable mathematics problem last year, AI is back to tackle geometry. Developed by Google DeepMind, a new algorithm, AlphaGeometry, can crush problems from past International ...

A few minutes into a 2018 talk at the University of Michigan, Ian Tobasco picked up a large piece of paper and crumpled it into a seemingly disordered ball of chaos. He held it up for the audience to ...

The latest revelation from a study in Science Advances shows that carrion crows can spot geometric regularity- symmetry, parallel lines, and right angles A crow doesn’t need a compass or a protractor ...

During the 18th century the denizens of the Prussian city of Königsberg wrestled with a puzzle: How could they find a walking path through the city that crossed each of its storied seven bridges ...
