I don't think it's fair to dismiss the OIT hypothesis as a Hindu nationalist thing. I wrote some more about it in a comment on this article, but it actually just seems like the most likely explanation given the evidence. Arguing

This strengthens the Out-of-India hypothesis for Indo-European languages. The hardest evidence we have is the paleoarcheology of the Sarasvati river. The peak flow of the Sarasvati was 10,000 BCE - 3000 BCE. Tectonic shifts and climate chan

When companies centralized and controlled app downloads, they did it primarily to make more money. Now their greed ends in the loss of real human rights. When America was founded, the fourth pillar of government was the free press, i.e. the

Power laws show up in many systems, as the 80-20 Pareto rule, graph theory's "scale-free network", even electromagnetism and gravity.

Connectomics has been using graph theory for a while, but this is cool. Seems like more algebraic topology methods will percolate in (hah!) over time.

The best way to cheaply remove CO2 is to plant more trees. The simplest solution is still the best: it requires no new technology, can scale itself when the trees reproduce and is eminently accessible to all sorts of people, all around the

Apparently the high frequency alone did not effect brain activity unless coupled to audible or "low frequency" sounds. I wonder if the two frequencies interact to form beat frequencies or complex wave superpositions in the audible

I think the concept is that the apparent "acceleration" of distant galaxies is really just their time being slowed down relative to our frame of reference. I wonder if this contradicts the idea of a Big Bang too. It seems like ALT
