    ‘Wobbly spacetime’ may resolve contradictory physics theories

    At the heart of modern physics is a gulf that scientists have spent more than a century trying to bridge. Quantum mechanics gives an apparently flawless description of the forces that dominate at the atomic scale. Albert Einstein’s theory of general relativity has never been proven wrong in its predictions of how gravity shapes cosmic…

    Study on the Regularity of Acupoint Match

    Introduction SP6 is derived from “The AB Classic of Acupuncture and Moxibustion”1 as follows: “SP6 is located triple cun above the medial malleolus, in a depression behind the tibia. It is the crossing point of the meridians of Foot-Taiyin, Foot-Jueyin, and Foot-Shaoyin”.2 This acupoint is thus named Sanyinjiao and is known for its functions of…

    Accumulation – Yuriko Furuhata – The Nuclear Geopolitics of Anthropogenic Clouds

    Unlike the enduring half-life of radioactive materials whose toxicity lasts for thousands of years, evanescent clouds in the sky are the embodiment of impermanence and ephemerality. The proliferation of anthropogenic clouds such as airplane contrails, nuclear mushroom clouds, and factory smoke in the atmosphere has been integral to the history of human-induced climate change. They…
