According to the Borsuk-Ulam theorem there's always a pair of diametrically opposed points on Earth's surface which have the same temperature and barometric pressure.

The report of the National Quantum Initiative Advisory Committee was published today. It contains our consensus recommendations for sustaining U.S. leadership in quantum information science and technology. quantum.gov/nqiac-report-o…

In 1973, the legendary mathematician Paul Erdős asked if it’s possible to build a hypergraph with two seemingly incompatible properties. In a 50-page proof, a quartet of mathematicians recently showed that it is. quantamagazine.org/hypergraphs-re…

Physics In History Polish cryptologists who made a breakthrough in cracking the Enigma are: Marian Rejewski, Henryk Zygalski, and Jerzy Różycki. I understand that the spelling can be challenging, but they deserve recognition and gratitude!

This is how Jupiter has protected earth for billions of years. The gravity of Jupiter keeps most asteroids and space rocks away from Earth. Without it earth would most likely be uninhabitable for humans. Mad respect for Jupiter.

No. I think the best argument against moral equivalency is that denying that one culture is better than another entails denying that the future state of one's own culture can be better than the present. It denies the possibility of progress, is hostile to it, and sides with evil.

hear! hear!

Fascinating.

One of my favourite letters, insightful & humane, from Richard Feynman to a former student who was having a rough time I was reflecting on it as an argument in favour of scope insensitivity, or even in favour of smaller problems:
