Modern science reveals that matter is made of atoms and molecules. Molecules in liquids and gases move randomly; there is an average distance between two nearest molecules. This distance is used to model the properties of the gas. However, there are certain problems, like turbulence, that cannot be solved using just the distance, which is a single scale. We need to consider all scales from large to small. Such systems are called multiscale systems.
A new open-source satellite tool has revealed the critical ecological and economic importance of India’s Open Natural Ecosystems, challenging the colonial-era classification of these biodiversity hotspots as unproductive wastelands.
