You may be required to change your belief tomorrow, if the evidence warrants, and you should be willing and able to do so. That, in essence, is what skepticism means: to believe if and only if the evidence warrants.

(2min) Kaplan_BlackHole.mp4 But, what if General Relativity and Quantum Mechanics are Independent of Each Other. Then — No need for a theory of everything — Information CAN disappear — No paradox with black holes Quanta Magazine | The Physicist Who's Challenging the Quantum Orthodoxy (7min) Jonathan_Oppenheim.mp4 https://www.quantamagazine.org/the-physicist-who-bets-that-gravity-cant-be-quantized-20230710 ⓷ An Extreme Solar Storm Could Wreak Havoc on The Modern World https://www.sciencealert.com/an-extreme-solar-storm-could-wreak-havoc-on-the-modern-world The article discusses the potential impact of extreme solar storms on the modern world. The Carrington event in 1859, the strongest solar storm on record, caused widespread disruptions to telegraph systems and auroras. The article suggests that there have been even more extreme solar storms in the past, detected through radiocarbon dating in tree rings. ⓸ Geoengineering to Counter the Climate Crisis https://sciurls.com/?q=geoengineering&btnG=sciurls LATEST NEWS https://www.sciencealert.com https://phys.org https://sciurls.com/?q=phys https://www.nature.com https://sciurls.com/?q=nature https://www.nytimes.com/science https://sciurls.com/?q=nytimes%20science https://www.quantamagazine.org https://sciurls.com/?q=quantamagazine https://www.sciencenews.org https://sciurls.com/?q=sciencenews https://www.scientificamerican.com https://sciurls.com/?q=scientificamerican
