Sunday, February 13, 2022

Dear Nautilus Reader,

 

Is time real? When theoretical physicist Subodh Patil was a boy, his father teased him that the world was only 100 years old. Since then, Patil has been fascinated with time and determined to understand its origins—if, that is, it has origins.

 

That story, a look at a tricky math problem involving the area of a circle and square; a lively discussion between two acclaimed neuroscientists on consciousness, panpsychism, and the self; and more, in some of the most popular stories on Nautilus this week.

Female scientists: don’t wait to be perfect

“I have worked in some of the most male-dominated sectors you can work in,” says Pontsho Maruping, who started her career in mining and is now a deputy managing director at the South African Radio Astronomy Observatory. She offers detailed advice for up-and-coming women in African science and engineering. “When offered a chance to lead a new project, I tell young professionals to say ‘yes’,” she writes. “Women tend to want to be perfect first, but it’s the times when I’ve said yes to challenges that have provided the biggest opportunities to grow career-wise.”

Mysteries of Stephen Hawking's doodle-filled blackboard may finally be solved

(Isidora Bojovic/Science Museum Group)

A new museum exhibit hopes to uncover the secrets behind the doodles, in-jokes and coded messages on a blackboard that legendary physicist Stephen Hawking kept untouched for more than 35 years.

The blackboard dates from 1980, when Hawking joined fellow physicists at a conference on superspace and supergravity at the University of Cambridge in the U.K., according to The Guardian. While attempting to come up with a cosmological "theory of everything" — a set of equations that would combine the rules of general relativity and quantum mechanics — Hawking's colleagues used the blackboard as a welcome distraction, filling it with a mishmash of half-finished equations, perplexing puns and inscrutable doodles.

Putting the Art in Artificial Intelligence Researchers are using AI for creative tasks like painting and composing original music, reports Richard Moss for Science News. Some think that injecting creativity into AI algorithms will be the key steppingstone to building truly intelligent machines. For an algorithm’s solutions to be creative and open-ended, the problems must be open-ended, too. Matthew Hutson wrote about it for Quanta in 2019.

‘Genetics in the Madhouse’ chronicles the early days of the science

INHERIT THE DATA  King George III’s descent into madness sparked efforts to untangle the inheritance of mental illness by analyzing patient records at insane asylums (London’s Bethlem Hospital is shown in this 1735 illustration). A new book discusses how big data and statistics long dominated the study of human heredity.

Guideline self-care interventions: health and well-being

Overview 
Self-care interventions are among the most promising and exciting new approaches to improve health and well-being, both from a health systems perspective and for people who use these interventions.
The World Health Organization (WHO) uses the following working definition of self-care: Self-care is the ability of individuals, families and communities to promote health, prevent disease, maintain health, and cope with illness and disability with or without the support of a health worker. The scope of self-care as described in this definition includes health promotion; disease prevention and control; self-medication; providing care to dependent persons; seeking hospital/specialist/primary care if necessary; and rehabilitation, including palliative care. It includes a range of self-care modes and approaches. While this is a broad definition that includes many activities, it is important for health policy to recognize the importance of self-care, especially where it intersects with health systems and health professionals. Worldwide, an estimated shortage of 18 million health workers is anticipated by 2030, a record 130 million people are currently in need of humanitarian assistance, and disease outbreaks are a constant global threat. At least 400 million people worldwide lack access to the most essential health services, and every year 100 million people are plunged into poverty because they have to pay for health care out of their own pockets. There is an urgent need to find innovative strategies that go beyond the conventional health sector response./.../

There are ~400 billion stars in the Milky Way, and ~2 trillion galaxies in the visible Universe. But what if we aren’t typical? Everywhere we look, in all directions in space, we see that the Universe is filled with stars and galaxies to the limits of our observations. On a clear, dark night, the naked human eye can see about 6000 of them, but that’s just a tiny fraction of all that’s out there. Our Milky Way galaxy — our cosmic home in the Universe — spans over 100,000 light-years in diameter and contains approximately 400 billion stars all on its own. There are about 60 galaxies, total, making up our Local Group, and one of them, Andromeda, contains even more stars than we do./.../ #NOEMA ‘Cultural Optimism’ Drives China Upward And Onward To peer into China’s near future, America need only remember its recent past.
