________________________________________________Doctor Strange and Computer Science:
Doctor Strange is a Marvel Comics character who, while wielding a powerful, mystical artifact called the Time Stone, is capable of seeing all possible outcomes along all possible timelines.In examining every potential conclusion, he can strategically choose a path or action from those with the highest probability of success. When Doctor Strange runs projections of real-life outcomes, he is modeling— and using that model to plan for futures he might not otherwise see.Computer scientists and computer engineers do this every day—and so do most of us, without even realizing it.
