The other day a colleague sent me their letter to an editor regarding problems with a paper. The letter was so long that I didn’t read the whole thing. Worse, I hadn’t even read the paper the letter criticized, so if I wanted to provide useful comments I would also have…
I’m sure that throughout the 100,000-odd years of our species’ existence, and even before, our ancestors looked up at the night sky and wondered what stars are. Wondering, therefore, how to explain what they saw in terms of things unseen.

What can we know about what this conference is calling, “a day in the deep future”, 50 years hence?

How many senses do you have? Every child knows the basic five. Sight, hearing, touch, smell, taste, in roughly descending order of importance, allow us to perceive the world around us. Every child learns that in school. But a cursory examination can tell you that you have a lot more sense than that…

I’ll try to give a physicist’s perspective on extinction. I’ll start with the thought that evolution is a physical process, and what we mean by that is that whether or not it can occur, and under what circumstances, is set by the…
Let’s Not Choose The Same Mediocre Answers

“The problem of how to distinguish a genuine observation from random chance is a very old one. It’s been debated for centuries by philosophers and, more fruitfully, by statisticians. It turns on the distinction between induction and deduction. Science is an exercise in inductive…
Hey all, we took a brief hiatus for the holidays, but now we’re back and raring to dive into some quantum computing!
Let’s start things off with a short story on some news that was announced in the quantum world earlier this week:

At present, those scientists, who believe in the power of God, use their scientific talents while doing scientific research, but they do not think anything about God. They think that this work is of religious scholars. By assuming this, many scientists are seen trapped in…

The Power of Engineering Outreach (and what it can do for you) Part I
From deciding which new car to buy, medical treatment to undertake or even understanding the hype behind a new diet fad, the world around us is changing faster than ever. Research is constantly being misrepresented in the media, people are being bombarded…
As if airlines misplacing your luggage isn’t enough, many of us are guilty, at some point in our travels, of losing track of our own bags in the airport. Also, lifting heavy weights across the lengths of terminals is so passé…

A Respectable History of “Alternative Facts”
A “fact” is something than can be checked, backed up by evidence and verified as any dictionary will tell you. And this is certainly true of some facts — but not, I will argue, of others. In some cases, an “alternative fact” can prove to be respectable, even true.
