  Celestial Ghosts - Dark Matter's...

  Dark matter is one of the most elusive and mysterious components of the universe. It is invisible, yet its existence is inferred from the gravitational effects it has on visible matter, such as stars and galaxies. Despite being a significant part of the cosmos, dark matter has yet to be directly detected, which makes it an intriguing subject for astrophysicists. It is believed to make up about 27% of the universe's total mass and energy, far outpacing the visible matter that forms stars, planets, and galaxies. 
  The name “dark matter” was coined to reflect the fact that it does not emit, absorb, or reflect any form of electromagnetic radiation, making it invisible to current instruments. This absence of interaction with light or other electromagnetic forces is why it cannot be seen directly. However, dark matter’s presence is undeniable when looking at the way galaxies move. Without dark matter, galaxies would not have the gravitational pull necessary to prevent their stars from flying apart as they spin. This leads scientists to believe that dark matter provides the gravitational glue that holds galaxies, and indeed the entire universe, together. 
  One of the key pieces of evidence for dark matter comes from the study of galaxy clusters. When observing these massive cosmic structures, scientists noticed that the visible matter within them didn’t account for the full gravitational force required to keep the clusters intact. This discrepancy suggested the presence of an unseen substance, later named dark matter, that was exerting additional gravitational pull. Another significant clue comes from the phenomenon of gravitational lensing, where light from distant objects bends around large masses. Dark matter’s influence on this bending further supports the idea that it is present in quantities far larger than what we can observe.

  Will artificial intelligence improve the way we work and live, or will it alienate us? The choice is ours. What will we decide? 
   
   
   
  It's no secret that AI is changing the way we live, work, love, and entertain ourselves. Dating apps are using AI to pick our potential partners. Retailers are using AI to predict our behavior and desires. Rogue actors are using AI to persuade us with Twitter bots and fake news. Companies are using AI to hire us—or not. 
   
   
   
  This is just the beginning. As AI becomes smarter and more humanlike, our societies, our economies, and our humanity will undergo the most dramatic changes we've seen since the Agricultural Revolution. Some of these changes will enhance our species. Others may dehumanize us and make us more machinelike in our interactions with others. It's up to us to adapt and determine how we want to live and work. 
   
   
    
  Are you ready? 
   
   
   
  In I, Human psychologist Tomas Chamorro-Premuzic offers a guide for reclaiming ourselves in a world in which most of our decisions will be made for us. To do so, we'll need to double down on what makes us so special—our curiosity, adaptability, and emotional intelligence—while relying on the lost virtues of empathy, humility, and self-control. 
   
   
    
  Filled with big-think fascinations and practical wisdom, I, Human is the book we need to thrive in the future.

  On Time Causality and the Block...

  May of us harbour deep questions on subjects such as the origin of the universe, the concepts of time and causality, the nature of consciousness and free will, the mind-body problems of philosophy, the relationship between mathematics and physics, and more. Conventional answers will usually be from fundamental physics (often deeply mathematical) or philosophy (often very abstract). This work takes a different view of reality by substituting mathematical determinism for causal determinism, thereby making it clear why mathematics so adequately describes our observations and measurements. It then deconstructs many aspects of experience - all of which taint our supposedly objective study of the universe - to see how they emerge from a timeless block universe. Subjects such as quantum theory, change, choice, probability, thermodynamics, and consciousness all have to be disassembled. The conclusion is consistent with both mathematics and experience, provides an answer that is immune from the question of 'first cause', and yet does not lead to further questions, albeit in an unexpected way.
