Forum Moderator Gavin Crooks talks about time asymmetry in everyday life, thermodynamic systems, and molecular-scale machines. Explore more: David Haussler - Self organizing neural complexity: Join David as he explores how cerebral organoids are revolutionizing our understanding of human brain development and neural circuitry. The stochastic thermodynamics of computation David Wolpert Santa Fe Institute: David Wolpert present formulas for the thermodynamic costs of implementing (loop-free) digital circuits, of implementing Turing machines, and of implementing multipartite processes like the interacting organelles in a cell. Observers as Systems that Acquire Information to Stay out of Equilibrium: Join David Wolpert as he explores the concept of being an observer in the context of non-equilibrium statistical physics, delving into how systems acquire information from the outside world to stay out of thermal equilibrium.
