DNA coding is affected by the environment via adaptation; DNA specific structure is unpredictable from biochemistry / physics alone but is environmentally determined over generations (via natural selection)-- resulting in the white fur of the polar bear, for example.

[Editors note: Quantum physics describes a particle by a probabilistic wave function, such that its position is indeterminate until the wave function «collapses» and the particle assumes a definite, though randomly determined, position.]

In Newton's physics, the behavior of an apple or a planet was completely determined by its initial state — variables like position (where it was) and momentum (where it was going)-- and the forces acting upon it; no probabilities in sight.

This has numerous precedents in classical physics, such as the flow of a fluid inside a domain, which is uniquely determined by the boundary conditions.

Guth: Let me add one other thing that could be seen at the LHC, which I think would make most of us unhappy if it's seen, but we could see evidence for more fine tuning in nature than we've already seen in the cosmological constant; and that would be taken as evidence for this multiverse, anthropic picture where the laws of physics are not determined by fundamental principles but rather by a wide variety of things happening and certain things selecting for life.

The mathematical model developed for the latest work determines how termite mounds affect plant growth by applying various tools from physics and mathematical and numerical analysis to understand a biological phenomenon, said first author Juan Bonachela, a former postdoctoral researcher in the research group of co-author Simon Levin, Princeton's George M. Moffett Professor of Biology.

«Our study took a unified approach to understanding egg shape by asking three questions: how to quantify egg shape and provide a basis for comparison of shapes across species, what are the biophysical mechanisms that determine egg shape, and what are the implications of egg shape in an evolutionary and ecological setting,» said senior author, L. Mahadevan, the Lola England de Valpine Professor of Applied Mathematics at the John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS), Professor of Organismic and Evolutionary Biology, and of Physics at Harvard.»

The group, led by physics professor emeritus Saul Rappaport, determined that in order for the planet to maintain its extremely tight orbit around its star, it would have to be incredibly dense, made almost entirely of iron — otherwise, the immense tidal forces from the nearby star would rip the planet to pieces.

This work, published last year in the journal Physics of Fluids, could help engineers more precisely direct the modeling of jet engine nozzle geometries by determining, for instance, the ideal number and length of chevrons.

After spending months translating the nuclear physics finding into the language of particle physics and ensuring that no particle physics experiments contradicted it, the Irvine team determined that the beryllium - 8 anomaly is «beautifully» explained by the presence of a previously unknown «vector boson» — a type of particle that would wield a little - felt fifth force of nature.

Albert Einstein made this point in the Evolution of Physics when he observed that «physical concepts are the free creations of the human mind and are not, however it may seem, uniquely determined by the external world».

The Pollock - Krasner Foundation got Professor Richard Taylor of the Department of Physics at the University of Oregon to examine 6 of the works using «fractal analysis» to determine whether or not the found paintings are by the hand of Pollock.Continue Reading
