In this SFI Seminar, Scott Aaronson (University of Texas at Austin) explores the limits of mathematical knowability — from Gödel’s Incompleteness Theorem and Turing’s uncomputability to the astonishing growth of the Busy Beaver function and the future possibilities of quantum…

LLMs are becoming creative partners in scientific discovery. We've seen Scott Aaronson, @terrence_tao , and many more using them to unlock pathways to proofs : not just for IMO-style competition problems, but for actual research questions ! While LLMs can't yet solve…

I'm really excited about this upcoming event! There's lots of opportunities to hear authors talk about their work, but here we also go the behind-the-scenes: how to become a pop math/science author, what works, what doesn't---lots of tips and stories on becoming a writer!

This sort of thing is interesting and nice, but calling it “new theorems” is slightly misleading when we’re talking about improved bounds discovered through a big search.

To disprove a conjecture about knots, the mathematician Susan Hermiller and her longtime collaborator Mark Brittenham bought laptops at an auction and ran geometric analyses on them for over a decade. At one point, a machine “actually sent out sparks.” quantamagazine.org/a-simple-way-t…

Teachers: In the @nytimes series “Math, Revealed,” Cornell math professor @stevenstrogatz tells mathematical stories for “anyone who wants math to actually make sense.” Here are some ideas for using this series in and out of the classroom. nytimes.com/2025/09/16/lea…


Quanta Magazine devotes a whole issue to the fundamental science of climate. Can't wait to read this – we hear so much about climate change, and so little about the basic science. Press: newswire.com/news/quanta-se… Issue: quantamagazine.org/how-we-came-to…
