Imagine if Elle Woods from “Legally Blonde” had gained admission to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry instead of Harvard Law School and you’ll have a good approximation of the spectacular treatment.

Instead of trying to solve this cumbersome formula precisely, the researchers tested approximation techniques until they identified the best one.

“But what we have is something that sort of gives you an approximation to that in a weird kind of way.”

“I make art to try to understand things that I don’t yet understand fully, and the grief that I felt from significant breakups is my closest approximation of that,” Green says.

“The ways in which they approach reasoning are an approximation and not the real thing. And none of this is going away until we have some new technology.”
