Bell's theorem rules out developing a locally causal theory to describe quantum phenomena. Many take this to imply that any model of quantum entanglement must employ variables (called beables by Bell) which follow nonlocal rules, even though signaling is local. The alternative is to adopt an all-at-once (block universe) approach, with beables which may depend on both past and future inputs, even though signaling is causal. Within this lenient-ca...

The school will no longer be governed by its founder, The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod (LCMS), but […] Read on Scour ›
Contributed by Sharon Butler / In September, Two Coats of Paint welcomes Scott Wolniak, a Chicago-based multidisciplinary artist working primarily as a painter, with occasional forays into sculpture, video, and curatorial projects. Scott has taught for many years in the Department of Visual Arts at the University of Chicago. The outdoor world, from the vastness of the American West to the defiant weeds that push through cracks in city sidewalks, have shaped his aesthetic since childhood. Read on Scour ›

Ukraine marked 35 years of independence this August, in the 12th year of Russia’s war on Ukraine – the fourth since the full-scale invasion. Anniversaries invite stock-taking, and this one prompts an observation that's long overdue. We Ukrainians have grown so used to self-inflicted inferiority that we recycle stereotypes about our own society, which data don't support. No wonder the West has done the same: for all that time, and through this war, it has kept reading Ukraine through a handful Read on Scour ›

Microbes from space have fueled the plots of science fiction mainstays like "Project Hail Mary" and "The Andromeda Strain." But with more space missions launching each year, finding extraterrestrial life in a microbial form is becoming more plausible. What will the response be back here on Earth if—or when—scientists discover extraterrestrial microbes? Will the international policy and security communities be prepared for the fallout?

One of the most common questions we can ask about any two distinct locations is, “What’s the shortest distance between those two points?” By default, most of us will give the same answer that Archimedes gave more than 2,000 years ago: a straight line. If you take a flat sheet of paper and put two points down on it absolutely anywhere, you can always connect those two points with any line, curve, or geometrical path you can imagine. So long as the paper remains flat, uncurved, and doesn’t have... Read on Scour ›
