It's not linear. And our intuition is linear.

Linear

If it's social networks with super linear scaling more per capita then the theory says that you increase the pace of life.

First of all, it's a linear projection.

Is the system linear?

So, a convenient thing about being a human is you move in linear time, and unless Lisa Randall changes that, we'll continue to move in linear time.

There is a big difference between linear and exponential growth.

Symbolic analyzer of linear analog circuits

We think that this may not be a linear sequence of events.

Whereas in the West, time is linear.

So, unfolded it's about 300 linear feet.

At maximum range the footprint approaches a linear release of submunitions over 1200m.

Other resources (regular) projections are expected to increase gradually during the plan period, but the trend is not linear because of extraordinary growth in 2004 (due to significant contributions for Iraq).

The slope of that is less than linear.

Secondly, shifting from a linear, wasteful, polluting way of using resources to a closed loop model.

Whenever you see anything linear on a planet, it means there's been a fracture, like a fault.

The air is not linear, as we've always been taught.

In attempting to improve munition reliability it is important to appreciate that the cost improvement ratio is not linear and as such costs will tend to increase significantly as higher levels of reliability are sought.

So it transformed a linear process into a closed loop model, and it created more value in the process.

A linear reduction consisting of mostly 20 per cent step downs was considered practical and potentially achievable.

But, you know, we have become obsessed with this linear narrative.

My main message is that progress in technology is exponential, not linear.

And they honor events in the linear world from the fictional world.

It is a very long, linear molecule, a coded version of how to make another copy of you. It's your blueprint.

Crisis, disasters and emergencies are critical issues of global, as well as national concern, with multiple dimensions and sudden and chaotic features that demand both linear and non linear approaches for prevention and management.

And of course fences around the world are all Cartesian, all strictly linear.

I have linear algebra, science, physics, even nowadays, chemistry and biology, as you've seen.

So now I want to go onto talking about the linear to closed loop idea.

You look at art. Look at the ballerina, how linear she is in her performance.

Everybody who's spoken at TED has told us implicitly, or sometimes explicitly, a different story that life is not linear it's organic.

I started working in the industry, but I wasn't really happy to contribute to a material consumer society in a linear, extracting and manufacturing mode.

And it was an arm that, instead of hinging and pivoting as it went across the record, went straight a radial, linear tracking tone arm.

The reality is when you actually watch children, children don't think about things like storage in linear terms.

And here we have a view of evolution where rather than having evolution go over the linear time, we have it coming out from the center.

Many even scientists assume a linear model, so they'll say, Oh, it'll be hundreds of years before we have self replicating nano technology assembly or artificial intelligence.

It is important to remember, however, that peacekeeping and peacebuilding are not necessarily the endpoints of a linear process they are interlinked, interwoven and, at times, interdependent.

Sort of a timeline, very non linear scale, nature rates and trilobites and dinosaurs, and eventually we saw some humans with caves ... Birds were flying overhead, after pterosaurs.

When we walked through the savanna a thousand years ago we made linear predictions where that animal would be, and that worked fine. It's hardwired in our brains.

If you put particles in them, and they go shooting out the tip they're like miniature linear accelerators or electron guns.

Well, I came up with this kind of linear expression thing with these cams and feedback. And that worked pretty well.

And it turns out we have about 50,000 major gene families, but every new sample we take in the environment adds in a linear fashion to these new families.
