Computations
Scientists have borrowed a technique from applied mathematics to rapidly predict the behavior of fusion plasma at a much-reduced computational cost. (1) Trying to compute things. But we will never do that. Unless we use the whole universe. And have it standing still. Just computing things. We will then know it all. And right then…

Phantom science…
A world-famous psychological experiment used to help explain the brain's understanding of the body, as well as scores of clinical disorders, has been dismissed as not fit-for-purpose in a new academic paper from the University of Sussex. The Rubber Hand Illusion, where synchronous brush strokes on a participant's concealed hand and a visible fake hand…

Copying sounds. Speaking?
Bats can learn to mimic specific sounds, which puts them into an elite group of animals capable of this. Studying how bats can copy noises could help us learn more about humans’ unique capacity for speech and language. (1) Listen. Speak. Oh child. How did you learn to speak? If not by listening to people…

A story told…
Meteorites tell story of Mars' water history. (1) But who else can tell your story? But someone else? You cannot ever know thyself. Except those who see you. And when they do, they will tell it to someone else. And you will be liberated. From the burden of Being. And you will be liberated. From…

Mathematics. World. Randomness.
Brownian motion describes the random movement of particles in fluids, however, this revolutionary model only works when a fluid is static, or at equilibrium. In real-life environments, fluids often contain particles that move by themselves, such as tiny swimming microorganisms. These self-propelled swimmers can cause movement or stirring in the fluid, which drives it away…
