Physics stagnant since 1973 because string theory?
Last week MeerKAT + JWST localized the farthest FRB ever—from a tiny star-forming dwarf galaxy when the universe was only ~3 billion years old—probing ionized gas across ~80% of cosmic history.
Intensity mapping of hydrogen with CHIME and MeerKAT also advanced as a real dark-energy tool. The landscape can wait.

Hegel: ‘The State is the divine Idea, as it exists on earth … the precise object of world history in general. It is in the State that freedom attains its objectivity … the State is the objectification of Spirit…’

Jacob Tsimerman, who won the Fields Medal this year, thinks mathematics will soon rest on proofs no one understands. He says it’s already true of many of his own theorems, which build on accepted results whose proofs he doesn’t know.

Hegel: ‘What traveler, amidst the ruins of Carthage, Palmyra, Persepolis, or Rome, has not been led to contemplate the transiency of empires and of men, and to the sorrow at a once vigorous and rich life that is now gone? This is not a sorrow that dwells upon personal losses and the transiency of one’s own aims; instead, it is a disinterested sorrow at the decline of a radiant and cultured life.’

Podcast: "I am therefore I think"
Host: Neurones & Nebulae

Hey all! I interviewed Dr. Chris Fields yesterday!
Chris joins me for a second time on the podcast (first was June 2024) to discuss his soon-to-be published paper concerning the use of the Free Energy Principle as a top-down approach to physics, overturning traditional reductivism in his pursuit of a unifying, scale-agnostic description of reality - that can apply to all "classes" of phenomena - billiard balls, minds and ecosystems.
Yours,
Matt

Article: "Protocol for investigating the warping of spatial experience across the blind spot to contrast predictions of the Integrated Information Theory and Predictive Processing accounts of consciousness"

Not true. Panpsychists don't necessarily think everything is conscious. Just fundamental things.
Replying to @Philip_Goff
Parity of predictions doesn’t imply parity of explanation. Physicalism at least aims to specify conditions under which consciousness arises. Panpsychism declares it ubiquitous and thus exempts itself from explaining boundaries, unity, or onset. That asymmetry matters.
