A System is a Set of Properties
A system is any “bound”, finite, set of physical and/or conceptual properties (elements) such as physical objects, rules, or space time coordinates.
Natural and Physical Sciences
A broad category referring to the study of the physical universe including nature and biology.
The Standard Model Shows How Elementary Particles Interact
The standard model of particle physics shows how the elementary particles interact via the four forces to create the physical universe.
Conway’s Game of Life Models Evolution
Conway’s Game of Life is a simple rule-set that models the evolution of systems. It’s a “zero-player” computer program that demonstrates “cellular automata”.
Mushrooms are the Fruiting Bodies of Fungi

Most of the Nuts We Eat Aren’t Actually Nuts
Botanically speaking, most of the “nuts” we eat are actually fruit seeds (most culinary nuts are not botanical nuts).
Gravitational Waves are Ripples in Spacetime
Gravity is the result of the curvature of spacetime by matter. Non-symmetric acceleration of matter produces gravitational waves that ripple across the universe at light speed.
The Dark Side of the Moon Is Always Dark
The “Dark Side” of the moon is not actually dark. Every month, it gets two weeks of sunlight and two weeks of darkness, just like the rest of the moon.
There are Four Fundamental Forces
