Doing so will take the combined efforts and ethics of scientists, publishers, journalists and investors—and that’s a problem that may be even harder than wrangling qubits. 量子炒作的恶性循环能否打破?要做到这一点,需要科学家、出版商、记者和投资者的共同努力和道德操守--这个问题可能比搞定量子比特更...

In hindsight, I would say that the original thinking of Pluto as a major planet rather than a large asteroid was a rush to judgment. If I am not mistaken, the discovery of Charon decisively eliminated Pluto as the cause of any remaining appearance of perturbations of Uranus and Neptune, and...
technologywas the "bestest" in the whole wide world.Which is the harder thing to do: Send men to the moon or make them believe wedid? The fact is the physics behind sending people to the moonis simple. You can do itwith computers whose entire memory capacities can now fit on chips ...

but the amount of water on Earth will always remain essentially constant. Water scarcity arises when the various forms of fresh water become less common or harder to access, and some parts of the world (like arid desert climates) find it difficult to locate long term water sources because of...
Could it be that people had simply lost their understanding for astronomy, physics, natural behaviour: the understanding of the language spo- ken by the cosmic clock of the zodiac signs, the sun, the moon, the stars, which is essential and funda- mental for the seasonal stellar orientation ...
The authors dub it the “spectral siren” method, a new approach to the ‘standard siren’ method which Holz and collaborators have been pioneering. (The name is a reference to the ‘standard candle’ methodsalso used in astronomy.)
