Richard's aventures in two entangled wonderlandsRichard Gill
Since the loophole-free Bell experiments of 2020 and the Nobel prizes in physics of 2022, critics of Bell's work have retreated to the fortress of super-determinism. Now, super-determinism is a derogatory word - it just means "determinism". Palmer, Hance and Hossenfelder argue that quantum mechanics and determinism are not incompatible, using a sophisticated mathematical construction based on a subtle thinning of allowed states and measurements in quantum mechanics, such that what is left appears to make Bell's argument fail, without altering the empirical predictions of quantum mechanics. I think however that it is a smoke screen, and the slogan "lost in math" comes to my mind. I will discuss some other recent disproofs of Bell's theorem using the language of causality based on causal graphs. Causal thinking is also central to law and justice. I will mention surprising connections to my work on serial killer nurse cases, in particular the Dutch case of Lucia de Berk and the current UK case of Lucy Letby.

THE IMPORTANCE OF MARTIAN ATMOSPHERE SAMPLE RETURN.Sérgio Sacani
The return of a sample of near-surface atmosphere from Mars would facilitate answers to several first-order science questions surrounding the formation and evolution of the planet. One of the important aspects of terrestrial planet formation in general is the role that primary atmospheres played in influencing the chemistry and structure of the planets and their antecedents. Studies of the martian atmosphere can be used to investigate the role of a primary atmosphere in its history. Atmosphere samples would also inform our understanding of the near-surface chemistry of the planet, and ultimately the prospects for life. High-precision isotopic analyses of constituent gases are needed to address these questions, requiring that the analyses are made on returned samples rather than in situ.
This presentation explores a brief idea about the structural and functional attributes of nucleotides, the structure and function of genetic materials along with the impact of UV rays and pH upon them.
(May 29th, 2024) Advancements in Intravital Microscopy- Insights for Preclini...Scintica Instrumentation
Intravital microscopy (IVM) is a powerful tool utilized to study cellular behavior over time and space in vivo. Much of our understanding of cell biology has been accomplished using various in vitro and ex vivo methods; however, these studies do not necessarily reflect the natural dynamics of biological processes. Unlike traditional cell culture or fixed tissue imaging, IVM allows for the ultra-fast high-resolution imaging of cellular processes over time and space and were studied in its natural environment. Real-time visualization of biological processes in the context of an intact organism helps maintain physiological relevance and provide insights into the progression of disease, response to treatments or developmental processes.
In this webinar we give an overview of advanced applications of the IVM system in preclinical research. IVIM technology is a provider of all-in-one intravital microscopy systems and solutions optimized for in vivo imaging of live animal models at sub-micron resolution. The system’s unique features and user-friendly software enables researchers to probe fast dynamic biological processes such as immune cell tracking, cell-cell interaction as well as vascularization and tumor metastasis with exceptional detail. This webinar will also give an overview of IVM being utilized in drug development, offering a view into the intricate interaction between drugs/nanoparticles and tissues in vivo and allows for the evaluation of therapeutic intervention in a variety of tissues and organs. This interdisciplinary collaboration continues to drive the advancements of novel therapeutic strategies.
Observation of Io’s Resurfacing via Plume Deposition Using Ground-based Adapt...Sérgio Sacani
Since volcanic activity was first discovered on Io from Voyager images in 1979, changes
on Io’s surface have been monitored from both spacecraft and ground-based telescopes.
Here, we present the highest spatial resolution images of Io ever obtained from a groundbased telescope. These images, acquired by the SHARK-VIS instrument on the Large
Binocular Telescope, show evidence of a major resurfacing event on Io’s trailing hemisphere. When compared to the most recent spacecraft images, the SHARK-VIS images
show that a plume deposit from a powerful eruption at Pillan Patera has covered part
of the long-lived Pele plume deposit. Although this type of resurfacing event may be common on Io, few have been detected due to the rarity of spacecraft visits and the previously low spatial resolution available from Earth-based telescopes. The SHARK-VIS instrument ushers in a new era of high resolution imaging of Io’s surface using adaptive
optics at visible wavelengths.
The ability to recreate computational results with minimal effort and actionable metrics provides a solid foundation for scientific research and software development. When people can replicate an analysis at the touch of a button using open-source software, open data, and methods to assess and compare proposals, it significantly eases verification of results, engagement with a diverse range of contributors, and progress. However, we have yet to fully achieve this; there are still many sociotechnical frictions.
Inspired by David Donoho's vision, this talk aims to revisit the three crucial pillars of frictionless reproducibility (data sharing, code sharing, and competitive challenges) with the perspective of deep software variability.
Our observation is that multiple layers — hardware, operating systems, third-party libraries, software versions, input data, compile-time options, and parameters — are subject to variability that exacerbates frictions but is also essential for achieving robust, generalizable results and fostering innovation. I will first review the literature, providing evidence of how the complex variability interactions across these layers affect qualitative and quantitative software properties, thereby complicating the reproduction and replication of scientific studies in various fields.
I will then present some software engineering and AI techniques that can support the strategic exploration of variability spaces. These include the use of abstractions and models (e.g., feature models), sampling strategies (e.g., uniform, random), cost-effective measurements (e.g., incremental build of software configurations), and dimensionality reduction methods (e.g., transfer learning, feature selection, software debloating).
I will finally argue that deep variability is both the problem and solution of frictionless reproducibility, calling the software science community to develop new methods and tools to manage variability and foster reproducibility in software systems.

2. The universe is made up of millions
of Galaxies.
A galaxy is a swarm of billions
of stars, clouds and dust
rotating around a central
point.
3. • The Galaxy is 100,000 light-years
across, but only a few thousand light-
years thick.
• As we start out towards the next step, we
see other galaxies like the Milky Way
begin to appear. Compared to stars in
the Milky Way, galaxies are packed
together much more closely, and
collisions between galaxies are much
more common. The Andromeda Galaxy,
the nearest galaxy to the Milky Way, is
2.5 million light-years away and on a
collision course for Earth. Don't panic,
though, as the collision won't happen for
another 3 billion years
4. • At a size scale not much larger
than our last, we see that the
galaxies are clumped together.
These galaxy clusters typically
have hundreds of galaxies and
are millions of light years across.
Galaxies orbit around the center
of their clusters,These groups of
galaxy clusters are
called superclusters. A
supercluster may contain
hundreds of thousands of galaxies

The Age of the Universe
• Imagine a galaxy which flies out from the big bang
at the speed of light, The distance it traveled
denoted as
d=vt
6. Big Bang Theory
Steady State Theory
Creation Theory
7.
8. According to the theory, the Universe was created sometime between 10
billion and 20 billion years ago from a cosmic expansion that continues to
spread matter in all directions.
9.
10.
11. •The universe has always been as
it is today
•New matter is always being
produced
•The universe is continuously
contracting and expanding.
13. How the planets created according to the
Theories
• An important necessity for the appearance of
life is heavy elements. Since only hydrogen
and Helium gas were formed during the big
bang
14. • Stars use light elements like
Hydrogen and Helium as their
fuel. Like nuclear bombs, they use
the power of the atom for energy
• This process is
called fission. In a star, the
energy comes from
converting the light elements
into heavier elements. This
process is called fusion. All
of the material in the
universe heavier than
Hydrogen and Helium were
made by fusion in a star.
Stars
15. • The heavier elements were made
in supernovae, Supernovae are extremely
bright and extremely hot
• This is where the heaviest elements in the
universe are made.
• All of the material needed to make rocky
planets was made in stars, and some of it was
made in supernovae. This means that planets
couldn't exist until there had been enough time
for a star to completely go through its life cycle
and become a supernova
Planets
16. • The material would then be
ejected back into space, and
would form a new star,
possibly with planets. It also
means that everything in the
world, including you, came
from a star. As the astronomer
Carl Sagan said, "We are star
stuff."
17. • A bigger
planet has
been created
by collision
small rocks
and planets
18. • The Sun and the Earth formed
about four and a half billion years
ago, when our long-lived
astronomer was 37 "Milky Way
years" old. A solar system forms
relatively quickly, and ours
probably took only about 100
million years. The Sun and the
planets formed from a cloud of
sparse gas in the
19. The end of the Universe
(or) it’s beginning
Looking back over the scales of the universe and seeing
humanity's role, unimaginably small in both space and time,
one might wonder whether science has painted a bleak,
depressing, and hopeless picture for humanity. Some would
say so, while others find comfort in the majesty and
grandeur of the universe, and the possibilities that the future
might bring. For now, the future of humanity in this universe,
as chaotic and vast as it is, remains uncertain
Editor's Notes
The Big Bang Theory is the dominant scientific theory about the origin of the Universe.
