The idea of holography in string theory provides a simple geometric computation of entanglement entropy. This generalizes the well-known Bekenstein-Hawking formula of black hole entropy and strongly suggests that a gravitational spacetime consists of many bits of quantum entanglement. After we give...more

Dealing with climate change is among the greatest problems we face today. We use scientific models to predict climate change. These models are derived from scientific principles but rely on approximations to make the prediction problem tractable. The physical basis of climate prediction was...more
