By biochemically resurrecting ancient genes and testing their functions in modern organisms, ... Evolution of complexity recreated using 'molecular time travel' Date: January 16, 2012 ...

A novel suggestion that complexity increases over time, not just in living organisms but in the nonliving world, promises to rewrite notions of time and evolution.

“Our strategy was to use ‘molecular time travel’ to reconstruct and experimentally characterize all the proteins in this molecular machine just before and after it increased in complexity,” said the ...

They are also starting to explore whether any other “master problems” besides time-bounded Kolmogorov complexity might also govern the existence of one-way functions, or of more sophisticated ...

A new suggestion that complexity increases over time, not just in living organisms but in the nonliving world, promises to rewrite notions of time and evolution. In 1950 the Italian physicist Enrico ...

For the future direction, an interesting challenge is to give a full characterization of the exact quantum query complexity of more symmetric functions. DOI: 10.1007/s11704-024-3770-4.
