On several occasions in the history of science, different areas of research, sharing a priori nothing in common and sometimes belonging to completely different fields of science, were shown to be ...

A British scientist has created a complex mathematical equation to try and understand love. Suki Finn, a postdoctoral research fellow in philosophy at the University of Southampton, has created a way ...

Last month I reviewed the excellent book, Superforecasting by Dan Gardner and Philip E. Tetlock. Now while we can’t predict the future, we certainly can create a model for the probability of an event ...
