Phenomenology is the branch of theoretical physics in which physicists construct realistic models of nature from more abstract theoretical ideas. String phenomenology is the part of string theory that attempts to construct realistic or semi-realistic models based on string theory.
Ashtekar variables – In theoretical physics, Ashtekar (new) variables, named after Abhay Ashtekar who invented them, represent an unusual way to rewrite the metric on the three-dimensional spatial slices in terms of a SU(2) gauge field and its complementary variable. Ashtekar variables are the key building block of loop quantum gravity.
In the early 1960s, Baran invented the concept of distributed adaptive message block switching in support of the Air Force initiative. [13] [14] The concept was first presented to the Air Force in the summer of 1961 as briefing B-265, [12] later published as RAND report P-2626 in 1962, [8] and finally in report RM 3420 in 1964. [9]
Hence, in the early 1990s the physics community rallied around a concerted effort to predict the waveforms of gravitational waves from these systems with the Binary Black Hole Grand Challenge Alliance. [64] The largest amplitude of emission occurs during the merger phase, which can be modeled with the techniques of numerical relativity.
A researcher reports that in a supercomputer model simulation a realistic extinction of the Neanderthal population can only be simulated when Homo sapiens is considerably more effective in exploiting scarce glacial food resources as compared to Neanderthals, with interbreeding and abrupt climate change only being minor contributors to their ...

Whenever technology approaches a barrier, Kurzweil writes, new technologies will surmount it. He predicts paradigm shifts will become increasingly common, leading to "technological change so rapid and profound it represents a rupture in the fabric of human history". [55] Kurzweil believes that the singularity will occur by approximately 2045. [50]
