By postulating that all systems being measured are correlated with the choices of which measurements to make on them, the assumptions of the theorem are no longer fulfilled. A hidden variables theory which is superdeterministic can thus fulfill Bell's notion of local causality and still violate the inequalities derived from Bell's theorem. [1]
1963 Odd order theorem by Feit and Thompson was 255 pages long, which at the time was over 10 times as long as what had previously been considered a long paper in group theory. 1964 Resolution of singularities. Hironaka's original proof was 216 pages long; it has since been simplified considerably down to about 10 or 20 pages.
The strong exponential time hypothesis implies that it is not possible to find -vertex dominating sets more quickly than in time (). [ 8 ] The exponential time hypothesis implies also that the weighted feedback arc set problem on tournaments does not have a parametrized algorithm with running time O ( 2 o ( OPT ) n O ( 1 ) ) {\textstyle O(2^{o ...
An example would be the statement, "The compound H 2 O is both a solid and a liquid". When the temperature is low enough this statement is true. But it may be argued and proven false at a higher temperature. In his time, this work was logically advanced. He was a second generation calculator.

Renewal theory is the branch of probability theory that generalizes the Poisson process for arbitrary holding times. Instead of exponentially distributed holding times, a renewal process may have any independent and identically distributed (IID) holding times that have finite mean. A renewal-reward process additionally has a random sequence of ...
Conway was married three times. With his first two wives he had two sons and four daughters. He married Diana in 2001 and had another son with her. [17] He had three grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. [2] On 8 April 2020, Conway developed symptoms of COVID-19. [18] On 11 April, he died in New Brunswick, New Jersey, at the age of 82.
