"Flocks of birds, schools of fish and swarms of locusts display amazing forms of collective motion, while huge numbers of glow worms can emit light signals with almost unbelievable synchronization. These and many other collective phenomena in animal societies take place accordin…
Swarm behaviour and swarm intelligence have in recent years attracted much attention. However, by applying techniques of physics to the swarm behaviour of animal communities, we can begin to understand how such collective patterns can emerge in a self-organized way
In the last hundred years, modern physics and cosmology have shown that there exist regions of the universe forever beyond our reach, hidden by truly ultimate horizons. Such regions exist in those remote parts of the universe where, from our point of view, space expands faster t…
