The UK is Europe’s cloudiest place. Marseille is the northernmost blue sky capital of the continent. The Mediterranean offers plenty of blue skies of course.

'Emergence explains nothing and is bad science -
Life, consciousness and the cosmos are not “emergent”'

Scientists and philosophers have fallen for a seductive buzzword: “emergence.” | https://bit.ly/46MVPjM

But John Heil argues it’s time to drop the magic word and face the real challenge: uncovering, in concrete detail, how simple parts can give rise to complex wholes.

"We can exquisitely, spatially map and tell you where dark matter is … what it does … but we don’t know what it is. It’s akin to knowing everything about sand dunes: how they form, how they get reshaped … but not knowing what a grain of sand is made of."

Venstresidens prinsipper ender ofte når det gjelder Israel eller jøder

Å bruke kippa eller en davidsstjerne rundt halsen er for mange utenkelig – for frykten for trakassering og overgrep er for stor.

*Redaksjonsmøte i nrk*
-ok, nå har de yngre sluttet å se på valg og slikt på nrk og følger alt på TikTok og YouTube, som jo er naturlig. Hva om vi gjør alt mer tullete også her i NRK sånn at vi også fremmedgjør seergruppen som fortsatt ser på oss?

There are at least 20 different types of water ice, and we're still learning new things about them. Space ice is probably the most abundant type of ice in the universe, and we thought it was amorphous until researchers discovered it contains crystals. 🧪⚛️ physicsworld.com/a/space-ice-...

Space ice reveals its secrets – Physics World

Simulations and experiments indicate that the low-density amorphous ice found on comets and icy moons is not, in fact, entirely amorphous

This week could be decisive for Ukraine’s future, BILD writes. Deputy editor-in-chief Paul Ronzheimer’s article, titled “Ukraine fears betrayal by the West,” warns of concerns that Trump might strike an unjust deal on Ukraine without Ukraine.

Anyone who tells you that sufficiently clever science can always find a way around fundamental limits is totally ignorant of the history of science. Discovering what's impossible is and always has been part of the scientific project. But Yud, Altman, Musk, Andreessen, etc., don't know this.

A tiny step for mankind, a big leap for me:

Today I signed a contract with Wipf & Stock in the US to publish "The imagined conflict: On science and God" based on a revision of the 2021 Norwegian original.

Because this deserves more attention.

4-panel comic of two snails. First three panels are a conversation while heading somewhere together
Red/Yellow snail: English is difficult. When do we use "many" and when do we use "much"?
Blue/Green snail: "Many" is for nouns that are countable, like apples. "Much is for nouns that are not countable, like water.
Red/Yellow: "So we should say "many rational numbers" and "much real numbers"?
Panel 4: Blue/Green turns and just glares (as much as stylized comic snails can) at Red/Yellow
