FRAGMENT FROM NATURE features for this and next weekend an excellent article by media ecologist and MIT-educated physicist Robert K. Logan, on the relationship between mathematics and language. His very original hypothesis runs counter to traditional thinking on the topic, and suggests that they are very intimately related in unexpected ways. https://lnkd.in/dKUCtJu View in LinkedIn

CORRELATIONS. “All of these studies in the hard and soft X-ray range find that the cosmic evolution of AGN is strongly dependent on the AGN luminosity: the number density of successively less luminous AGN peaks at lower redshifts, with the lowest luminosity AGN showing a basically constant number density.” (AGN = active galactic nuclei). https://lnkd.in/d9JV8md View in LinkedIn

EXPLAINING THE HEAVENS. “Our best-fitting model suggests a scenario in which disc instabilities are the main driver for moderately luminous Seyfert galaxies at low redshift, while major mergers are the main trigger for luminous AGN.” (AGN = active galactic nuclei). https://lnkd.in/d9JV8md View in LinkedIn

DOWNSIZING EXPLANATION. “With these three modifications, the models can explain the observed downsizing, successfully reproduce the bolometric AGN luminosity function and simultaneously reproduce galaxy and BH properties in the local Universe.” (BH = black hole; AGN = active galactic nuclei). https://lnkd.in/d9JV8md View in LinkedIn

WARP SPEED. “When the Chinese released the sequence of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, we started the process of making RNA the next day. A couple weeks later, we were injecting animals with the vaccine." A very long time to until the acceptance of mRNA vaccines, whose promises for the future are considerable. See my TEDx talk. https://lnkd.in/dc32WbP View in LinkedIn

SET THEORY. “The human mind is a product of the brain and verbal language as was argued in The Extended Mind: The Emergence of Language, the Human Mind and Culture (Logan 2007), but verbal language as we have argued was dependent on the ability of humans to think in terms of sets employing a primitive form of set theory.” https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-030-59177-9_13 View in LinkedIn
