Dispatches From Turtle Island

It is worth noting that none of the complexities below involve anything more sophisticated that pre-calculus study and logs and trig functio...

A new analysis constrains the properties of a hypothetical X17 particle using experimental measurements of muon g-2 and electron g-2. It doe...

Artificial intelligence programs have recent disproved some famous mathematical conjectures by finding counter-examples. Most mathematical ...

Razib Khan's latest piece on human evolution in his Unsupervised Learning series takes a step back and looks at how the big picture has...

This article supports the highly plausible theory that all humans share pre-Out of Africa admixture with "ghost" archaic hominin p...

Spin-foam is a quantum gravity approach that quantizes space-time, rather than treating gravity as a separate force with a carrier boson com...

The anomaly of the day is an anomaly in a certain kind of B meson decay. I'm very skeptical and think it will go away and is probably du...

A Covarying Coupling Constant theory performs similarly to, but not better than MOND. Both are much better at explaining galaxy rotation dyn...

Not long ago, we were finally able to find decent sized bones that proteins provided proteomic evidence (rather than DNA evidence which was ...

There is weak evidence that the radial acceleration relation, which is implied by Milgrom's toy-model MOND theory of weak field gravity,...

Reductionist physicists always like to derive physical constants, rather than than simply measure them. This paper proposes a way to do so f...

A hydrogen gas cloud, called Cloud-9, that has been observed in deep space in the radio wave frequency, which cannot be seen in the visible ...

A glueball is a strong force bound system without any valence quarks that binds gluons, the carrier bosons of the strong force instead of q...

Observations of high energy out space sourced neutrinos from an Earth based neutrino detector further constrain the parameter space of possi...

Every new precision measurement of the Higgs boson mass is golden, and it is increasingly being pinned down to some precision. A measurement...

No matter how much you fuss with the LambdaCDM based simulations, they generically predict the wrong number and type of satellite galaxies ...

The most notable findings of the study are that the number of languages in the world was already starting to decline five hundred years befo...

Even with greatly relaxed cosmology based bounds in neutrino mass that free it from the strong model dependence it has in the deeply flawed ...

A nice Facebook reel discusses the pre-Greek substrate of the Indo-European Greek language for which we have about 1000 Greek words that do...

Davidski at Eurogenese has provided some thoughts on the Indo-European homeland in a teaser post with an updated large data set of ancient ...
