Today, when studying a certain natural phenomena, scientists first identify elements and basic laws governing the dynamics of the system then they represent them as data structures and algorithms and finally execute the algorithms to observe how the system evolves.
The newly discovered state could let physicists cut through those complexities and find basic laws of nature.
In the early part of the 1900's, automakers were still experimenting with fuel sources – and the basic laws of physics.
Flow rate measurements as a function of pressure gradient and membrane temperature indicated that the flux across the membrane was not limited by external mass transfer resistance and followed basic laws of diffusion.
If you have 500 scripted shows, he told TV writers Tuesday, hundreds of them are going to lose money - and by the basic laws of capitalism, producers will not do that indefinitely.
We pursued an ambitious goal: to use a variant of a genetic algorithm to evolve a virtual but biologically relevant function, with components that mimic real biological entities (promoters, operators, enzymes, membrane transporters, transcriptional regulators) and follow the basic laws of biochemistry.
Within the same species, individual differences were viewed as a mere nuisance; it was believed that, by studying many subjects and by computing averages, basic laws of learning could be found.
The movement's art-school ethos is enshrined in 10 golden rules of Lomography, with an emphasis on spontaneity and experimentation - and a rejection of some of photography's basic laws of composition and focusing.
