The idea that matter is mostly empty space is mostly wrong

The idea that matter is mostly empty space is mostly wrong

100% Center coverage: 1 sources
One thing you can be sure of, as you measure and observe the Universe around you, is this: the physical objects you see, touch, and otherwise interact with all occupy a volume of space. Whether in the form of solid, liquid, gas, or any other phase of matter, it costs energy in order to reduce the volume that any tangible material occupies, as though the very components of matter themselves are capable of resisting the impetus to occupy a smaller…See the Story

America’s news deserts are growing

100% Center coverage: 1 sources
Paper is to news what vinyl is to music: an outdated medium decimated by its digital replacement. Except that vinyl records have finally found their niche, and sales are up again. Newspapers haven’t yet worked out how to deal with all the advertising money that has fled online, and are still in freefall. Compared to 20 years ago, there are now 3,000 fewer newspaper titles in the U.S. and 43,000 fewer newspaper journalists. Total newspaper circul…See the Story

Eyes wide shut: Why psychedelic trips intensify when you close your eyes

100% Center coverage: 1 sources
You’ve likely heard the phrase “set and setting” when it comes to psychedelics: The quality of a trip depends on the mindset you have and the environment you’re in when you kick off a trip. But while it’s a common claim, there hasn’t been much research on the effects of set and setting on the psychedelic experience.  To bridge that gap, a recent study systematically examined these kinds of effects, including those that result from keeping your e…See the Story

A new theory for how oceans form on other worlds

100% Center coverage: 1 sources
The most dramatic scientific progress occurs when a new window into the Universe gets thrown open. When I was a graduate student, for example, I was taught that Earth was born hot and dry. Any water present at our planet’s formation got boiled away. So, because the only window we had on planetary evolution was our own Solar System, most astronomers were sure that the water making up our oceans must have been delivered later in Earth’s history th…See the Story

How scientific thinking can fix collaboration in a mixed

100% Center coverage: 1 sources
Trust in science has declined. According to Pew, the share of Americans who say they have “a great deal of confidence” in scientists has fallen (from 39% in 2020 to 23% today). The view that science has positively impacted society has also tumbled (from 73% in 2019 to 57% today) That is regrettable because as the authors of the new book Third Millennium Thinking point out, science is about more than creating microwaves, vaccines, and other moder…See the Story

Not a constant: the Hubble "constant" changes over time

100% Center coverage: 1 sources
In all of physics, some of the most important properties inherent to the Universe itself are constants of nature. The speed of light in a vacuum, the strength of the gravitational force between two masses, and the constant inherent to the quantum nature of the Universe, Planck’s constant, are all examples of fundamental parameters that never change, regardless of circumstances. But it’s also plausible that some of the so-called constants aren’t …See the Story

The "Big Crunch": New dark energy data raises questions about Universe's fate

100% Center coverage: 1 sources
Every culture has a story of the eschaton: the end of time. In Norse mythology, the world will end in an epic battle called Ragnarök, with gods fighting the Ice Giants. In Christian lore, the book of Revelations says the final battle will happen at Armageddon. Even modern science has its own tale, one in which the repulsive gravity of an ephemeral energy field called dark energy will push the galaxies of the Universe apart until they are no long…See the Story

Everyday Philosophy: “Is it OK to ghost the people you date?”

100% Center coverage: 1 sources
“I recently met a guy on a dating app and we went on a few dates. He was nice enough, and there were no red flags, but after the fourth date, I could tell things weren’t clicking, at least for me. Last week, he sent me a text inviting me to a group outing to meet some of his friends. I didn’t know what to say, so I didn’t say anything and decided to ghost him. I’m feeling guilty and conflicted. I’ve been ghosted before, and I know how it feels. …See the Story

Everyday Philosophy: “Can I ever swear in front of kids?”

100% Center coverage: 1 sources
“I’ve got two kids — 3 and 7 — and I’ve done a pretty good job at not swearing around them. We went on the bus last Tuesday, and two middle-aged men got on next to us. They started dropping F-bombs and other obscenities for 20 minutes straight. I was shocked. Genuinely shocked. I didn’t say anything to them, and I think my kids knew something was up. Should I have said something? Irene, Wisconsin Good question, Irene. Good question. It’s a dil…See the Story

Everyday Philosophy: "Should I have to work the same hours as my inefficient colleague?"

100% Center coverage: 1 sources
“I work for a PR company. It’s big enough that you’d know it. I’m really good at my job. That’s not arrogant. It takes me 30 minutes to do things my colleagues take half a day to do. In my mind, they are inefficient and/or not that good at their job. I often resent and moan to my wife that I have to work until 5 p.m. when everyone else is mucking about. So, should I resent working as long as my inefficient colleagues do? And should I have to?” —…See the Story
