Engineers and scientists can simulate machines or physics experiments.
It is no longer possible for a layperson to kind of follow along the major findings in psychology or physics or what have you the way they could have 50 years ago -- one because those fields are just so much larger and two because those fields have gotten so much more complex.
Since the study also claims that individual intelligence have no relevance at all to the group intelligence, does it mean a group with none of member within it can solve a specific math or physics problem can all of a sudden miraculously be able to solve the problem by providing at least three women?
Imagine if a group of them got together, hired a teacher and learned the classics or theoretical physics or quantum mechanics or linguistics the old fashioned way?

This is especially true at very large and very small scales (think astronomy or particle physics), but also liminal spaces or large sociotechnical systems that cannot be experienced completely or directly (think cyberspace, but also large infrastructure systems like power grids, interstrate highway systems, etc.).
Not so much because we'd get crash courses in economics, diplomacy, the Internet or particle physics.
Even if you've forgotten your high school or college physics, please bear with us.
Unlike astronomy or particle physics, paleontology is still a vigorous mixture of acquisitiveness, showmanship, speculation, and polemic.
"I cannot resist a first reply, which is that not everything is known, as yet, about the wheel, either the mathematics of it or the physics, " Hawkins wrote.
"They'd say, 'This young principal investigator doesn't know anything about physics or STMs, '" Lieber recalls.
Nothing in the nature of thermonuclear physics or other relevant facts has changed since that report was issued.

And whereas most people will admit their ignorance of physics or biology, the armchair economist is convinced that he knows exactly what he is talking about.
Today, regardless of whether researchers are studying particle physics or human genetics, science papers by multiple authors receive more than twice as many citations as those by individuals.
One aspect of their training people with PhDs (whether in economics, physics or other disciplines) have brought to their work as data scientists, is the practice of working in teams.

Amazon knows that it will probably never be the very best site for rock-climbing information or quantum-physics discussions, but that the sites specialising in such subjects could be great places to sell books.
"The hope would be that this is actually pointing toward some deficiency in the models, or some extra physics that we're not aware of, and maybe spark a whole new research direction, " White said.
Another involved the collection of DNA samples from high-IQ individuals from the U.S. and other countries, including those with extremely high SAT scores, and those with a doctorate in physics or math from an elite university.
Money in economics is just like energy in physics, or vice versa.
This does not mean that every literature major should take a watered-down physics course or that a corporate lawyer should stay abreast of quantum mechanics.
What Rushkoff and Malik are describing is a new experience of physics for humans, more akin to magic or at least quantum mechanics than to the classical Newtonian physics on which the modern world was based.
