  Multiverse Theory - The Theories...

  Multiverse theory posits the existence of multiple, possibly infinite, universes that exist parallel to our own, collectively forming what is known as the "multiverse." The origins of this theory are rooted in quantum mechanics and cosmology. In 1957, physicist Hugh Everett III proposed the "Many-Worlds Interpretation" of quantum mechanics, suggesting that all possible outcomes of quantum measurements are realized in some "world" or universe, leading to a vast number of parallel universes. In cosmology, theoretical models involving inflation (a rapid expansion of the universe after the Big Bang) suggest that different regions of space could stop inflating at different times, creating separate "bubble universes" with potentially different physical properties. 
    
  There are various types of multiverses proposed by scientists. A Level I multiverse includes regions beyond our observable universe, where regions sufficiently far away might have different physical conditions and histories. A Level II multiverse consists of universes with different physical constants and laws of physics, arising from different inflationary conditions. The Many-Worlds Interpretation of quantum mechanics is considered a Level III multiverse, where every quantum event branches into new universes. A Level IV multiverse encompasses universes with fundamentally different mathematical structures, including all possible mathematical realities.

  Into the Abyss - The Science of...

  Dark space, a term that captures the vast and mysterious regions of the universe that remain elusive to the human eye, is one of the most fascinating and perplexing subjects in modern astronomy and physics. It refers to the areas of space that are largely empty or seem devoid of matter, yet are crucial to our understanding of the cosmos. Unlike the stars, planets, and galaxies that illuminate the night sky, dark space is often invisible to our telescopes and our senses. This absence of light and matter doesn’t mean that dark space is inactive or devoid of interest. On the contrary, dark space is full of hidden forces and phenomena that scientists are only beginning to understand. It holds the secrets to some of the most fundamental questions about the universe's structure, its origins, and its ultimate fate. 
  The origins of dark space can be traced back to the very beginning of the universe. When the Big Bang occurred, it led to the creation of matter and energy. However, the universe didn’t begin with the stars and galaxies that we are familiar with today. Instead, it started as a hot, dense point that rapidly expanded. As the universe cooled, matter began to condense and form structures, such as galaxies, but there was also a significant amount of empty space that remained. This space, often referred to as "dark" because it contains little to no visible matter, is not empty in the sense that it is void of energy. Instead, it is filled with forces and substances that we cannot see directly. 
  One of the key aspects of dark space is the presence of dark matter, a mysterious substance that makes up a large portion of the universe’s total mass. Although dark matter cannot be directly observed, its presence is inferred from its gravitational effects on visible matter.

  Get started on your composting journey with this practical, accessible, and fun guide to reducing your waste—including this book when you finish reading! Composting is so much more than just transforming food into soil; it is deeply existential, radical, and soul-opening. And no, it's not just for gardeners. You can compost in a bowl on your kitchen counter, or a bag under your sink, and you can compost things you're told you can't (although there are some things you probably shouldn't). Everyone can compost. And even if you're not going to compost at all, knowing about compost is engaging with a dialogue about zero waste.  With wry and brilliant writing, ​Cassanda Marketos brings the culture, beauty, community, and philosophy of compost to life in this one-of-a-kind, inventive work of narrative nonfiction that brings compost out of the dark ages and into the contemporary moment. Delightfully philosophical and inviting, it is an accessible guide to everything you need to know about compost, with actionable advice for beginners and experienced composters. You will learn why compost works, where to put your compost, how to pick your compost set up, the basics of decomposition, what to put in a compost pile, where to source your compost materials, and how to build a pile. With insights on what tools to consider, how to deal with odors, insects, and other critters, and transitioning your compost pile for colder weather, find easy-to-follow compost pile designs, tips on composting in small spaces, composting with worms, and how to compost things you're always told you can't (you just need to know how).  This book has something for everyone, at any stage in their compost journey, and includes edgy, delightful illustrations by the artist Sludge Thunder throughout. And ... it's literally compostable. Read it, follow the advice, and toss it into your compost pile.
