How a Brainless Slime Mold Outpaces Supercomputers ⚡ экспресс
Original: "Morphological computational capacity of Physarum polycephalum"
An ordinary amoeba, lacking a nervous system, can perform an astronomical number of computations — all thanks to the movement of its gelatinous mass.

A single shapeless blob of slime can process more information in a day than all the world's computers. Scientists have found that a brainless amoeba uses energy to the fullest, approaching the physical limit of computation. This discovery forces us to reconsider the nature of thinking — perhaps intelligence doesn't require neurons at all.
🎯 In a single gram of this slime mold lies computational power comparable to thousands of supercomputers — and all without a single transistor.
