Silicon is the bedrock of modern classical computers. For #quantum computers, the bedrock is still TBD, but a new silicon-phosphorous qubit platform developed by researchers in Australia suggests that silicon could play a role here, too. 🧪⚛️ physicsworld.com/a/could-sili...

@mahagod.bsky.social It’s fitting that someone whose bio admits to 'no academic content' is the one laughing. Every King needs a court jester, but don't mistake your 'despair' for a peer review. Leave the linguistics to the Professors.

Retracted for 'unverified refs'? Strange. This 'flaw' was found only after a Jan 8 Bluesky raid by Gender-biased reviewers + non-academics. Mass Reposts in 1 hour... Does this remind you of something?

It looks like a Brigade, not Peer Review.

Claims that Al-Jarrah's paper is "AI" are false. The research was published in Arabic in May 2020 (Pre-LLM).

Paper: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Academia dissects language's corpse; Al-Jarrah found its pulse.

They retracted this to save their dogma of "Arbitrariness." By linking breath (/h/) to life (H2O), he terrified their cold materialism.

Retraction is just a paradigm in panic. The idea breathes on.

Evidence suggests the relationship between sound and meaning isn't purely arbitrary. Check this: doi.org/10.1057/s415...

The linguistic data presented regarding the /h/ phoneme is robust and warrants preservation. doi.org/10.1057/s415... @Nature #DataScience

A true scholars like Radim is not afraid to acknowledge that the way we do things could be wrong and think of the possibility that new ways of thinking are possible for the sake of science.

"At the symbolic (and allegorical) level, /h/ is a reference to the creator who breathes into his creation." Damn, I've been doing linguistics wrong the whole time!

I read the brilliant article; it requires a special kind of awareness. It seems the editors of Nature magazine changed their minds due to external pressures—we all know who those are.

Newton’s laws worked until new phenomena appeared that they could not explain. Schrödinger’s equations, extended physics, showing how science builds on itself. The same applies to linguistic science, where common assumptions must be questioned to explain reality correctly.

The article links the loss of /h/ sound in Western languages to the rise of secularism. Removing breath sounds associated with the divine fundamentally shifted human consciousness toward linguistic arbitrariness decoupling our words from their natural power.

The most fascinating idea is the tripartite classification of speech: separating Laryngeals (/h/, /?/) from vowels and consonants. By linking these "breath sounds" to universal concepts of creation and life it suggests a biological, non-arbitrary foundation
