Failure to do so would be… unscientific. There has been a series of posts on quantum mechanics, by Bernard Kastrup, of abysmally low quality. Every thing Ananthaswamy says in that article ought to be familiar to anyone before they begin to write on matters pertaining to interpretations of quantum mechanics.
It seems drivel to me. How are self-learning machines supposed to provide evidence for or against free will? But we know that already. I wrote a letter to the editor to express my disagreement with his view. Then I emailed my complaint to them questioning them why they never published letters that criticizing their articles. They never respond to me. Now, I should consider canceling my subscription.
Are we supposed to have magic powers of communing with the fundamental reality of the universe that go beyond what astronomers can detect with their telescopes? Well on its own it obviously cannot… but physically trained philosophers or vice versa definitely can make an important contribution to the former question — e. John R. Searle — — Scientific American 1 You could buy it in the University of Chicago Bookstore, but not in the supermarket.
Articles were written by the primary researchers and did not shy away from technical details. I remember struggling to get through an article on protein folding. Add in climate change and the pandemic, and science has become a hot topic, Helmuth said.
As for a five-year vision for Scientific American, Helmuth said that will take longer than the five months. The stability extends to business. The magazine has been profitable and will be in , she said, though she and a spokesperson declined to provide more detailed financial information.
It continues to publish in print every month at a time many other magazines have been cutting back on frequency. Of course, Helmuth said, Scientific American has lost print advertising this year just like every other magazine or newspaper. Likewise, newsstand sales, smallish in number but highly profitable compared to discounted subscriptions, have crashed. The days of buying a half-dozen magazines at the airport for a coast-to-coast or transcontinental flight were already on the wane in the digital era.
Now air travel has nearly gone dead. Circulation is holding reasonably steady at , — , print plus digital, another 22, digital-only, and the balance from other categories. Scientific American has been published by Springer Nature since Nor would it appear in any danger of being part of a fire sale to individual buyers as happened to Time and its sister titles, Fortune, Entertainment Weekly and Sports Illustrated.
Sure things in these turbulent media times are a rarity. However, I will rashly predict that old-timer Scientific American is a pretty good bet to reach its th or even th birthday.
