Explore five surprising non-intelligent systems that can successfully navigate mazes using fundamental physical principles rather than cognitive abilities. Discover how slime molds, soapy milk, light beams, and other unexpected materials leverage physics to find optimal paths through complex networks. Learn about the underlying scientific mechanisms that enable these seemingly simple systems to solve routing problems that typically require computational thinking, demonstrating how natural processes can achieve sophisticated problem-solving without traditional intelligence or complex algorithms.
