When a 24-year-old Paul Dirac submitted his PhD thesis.

The title was simply: “Quantum Mechanics”

It takes 2 neurons to ride a bike

In this week’s paper, Matthew Cook asks how a computer can control a bicycle without solving the full nonlinear equations of motion, or spending an inordinate amount of time learning through reinforcement learning. Humans seem to learn in a different way: not by deriving equations, and not by crashing thousands of times.

Cook presents a two-neuron network that can ride a simulated bicycle in a desired direction.

@pascalkwanten That's literally the definition of tachyons. The interesting question isn't what tachyons are — it's whether they can exist without breaking causality or allowing backwards time travel. You skipped the hard part
