Empire of Ants - The hidden worlds and extraordinary lives of earth's tiny conquerors, by Susanne Foitzik & Olaf Fritsche, published last year @experimentbooks theexperimentpublishing.com/catalogs/sprin…

The University of Oxford @UniofOxford was founded about 1000 (!) years ago. This book from Laurence Brockliss tells the story of the university. In the UK it is available at the @bodleianlibs shop, in the US it is also distributed by @UChicagoPress bodleianshop.co.uk/products/the-u…

This year the 1st truly complete sequence of the human genome was published, almost 20 years after the Human Genome Project ended in 2003 with the publication of a 92% complete sequence of a human genome 🧬 And we start to see that there are hidden genes in other systems too...

@LongFormMath @stevenstrogatz Similar to "Hamsterkauf" which we use to describe situations where we buy lots of stuff that we don't really need one could say "Artikelhamstern" 🐹😃 dw.com/en/coronavirus…

There should be a German word for when you download research articles and store them in special folder on your computer even though you know you will never read them.

@sciam @berfrois The question is wrong. The question we should ask is - as @danieldennett says - if we can break the spell and examine religion as a natural phenomenon in social systems en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breaking_…

Some mathematicians have sought a logical proof for the existence of God. Here’s what they discovered bit.ly/3ebnwKq

@philosophersmag @berfrois Good question. Just like kings are precursors of elected presidents (and justices), slaves are precursors of employees. Slavery is a form of proto-employment from a time when modern companies were not yet invented.

@philipcball @patrick_baud How does spacetime emerge from #entanglement ? Is entanglement producing or reducing distances? The more entangled they are, the closer together the regions of space are, as this @sciam article argues? 🤨 scientificamerican.com/article/what-i…

The Tripitaka Koreana - carved on 81258 woodblocks in the 13th century - is the most successful large data transfer over time yet achieved by humankind. 52 million characters of information, transmitted over nearly 8 centuries with zero data loss - an unequalled achievement. 1/

@curiouswavefn Authoritarian systems e.g. rely strongly on allegiance and loyalty. Maybe authoritarian Mafia states & organizations of the organized crime punish traitors so heavily by murder because betrayal is the opposite of loyalty, and they are built on two principles: loyalty and secrecy.

@curiouswavefn E.O.Wilson is not completely right when he says that's the way the cookie 🍪 crumbles because there are no larger entities that vie for our allegiance. There are powerful nations, large corporations and ancient religious organizations who all vie for our allegiance.

E. O. Wilson leaves us with this message for our continued existence on this tiny, lonely planet whose stewardship we have been thrust into. As enduring a message as any I can imagine.

I love that the letter A derives from the shape of an (updide-down) bull’s head and the letter D from the shape of a fish!
