Anthropology of Consciousness, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This essay examines the controversy surrounding the Bhoot Vidya certificate program proposed by the Faculty of Ayurveda at Banaras Hindu University in 2019. Drawing on media coverage, curricular materials, and government policy, I analyze how the debate reveals broader tensions in the politics of contemporary Ayurveda, nationalism, and ...

Crunching away the cosmological constant problem: dynamical selection of a small Λ
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2020 We propose a novel explanation for the smallness of the observed cosmological constant (CC). Regions of space with a large CC are short lived and are dynamically driven to crunch soon after the end of inflation.

Ecologization Is Not a Metaphor: Museums in the Web of Life
Curator: The Museum Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This article documents and critiques emerging accounts of museum “ecologization”. Drawing on political ecology, materialist theory, and contemporary museum practice, we challenge dominant frameworks of ecological modernization and advocate for a more critical understanding of museums in the web of life.

The Weinberg no-go theorem for cosmological constant and nonlocal gravity
Physics Letters BWe show how a nonlocal gravitational interaction can circumvent the Weinberg no-go theorem on cosmological constant, which forbids the existence of any solution to the cosmological constant problem within the context of local field theories unless some ...

Romano Guardini and Cornelio Fabro on Kierkegaard's Christian Humanism
The Heythrop Journal, EarlyView.Abstract This article examines how Søren Kierkegaard's theological anthropology furnished resources for reconstructing Christian humanism among mid‐twentieth‐century Catholic thinkers. Focusing on Romano Guardini (1885‐1968) in Germany and Cornelio Fabro (1911‐1995) in Italy, I demonstrate how each thinker creatively appropriated Kierkegaard's ...

Fine Structure of Dark Energy and New Physics
Advances in High Energy Physics, 2007 Following our recent work on the cosmological constant problem, in this letter we make a specific proposal regarding the fine structure (i.e., the spectrum) of dark energy.

Noble gases and nitrogen in material from asteroid Bennu
Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.Abstract We report the elemental and isotopic abundances of all stable noble gases (helium, neon, argon, krypton, and xenon) in eight particles from asteroid Bennu returned by NASA's OSIRIS‐REx mission. We also report nitrogen abundances and isotopic ratios that were analyzed alongside neon and argon in four additional Bennu particles.

Microspherules Formed by Lightning Strikes
Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.Abstract Natural microspherules are formed by high‐temperature processes and are present throughout the geologic record to the present day. We report the discovery of large numbers of microspherules recovered from a rock pavement in the Pilbara region, Western Australia.

Cosmic clues: DESI, dark energy, and the cosmological constant problem
Journal of High Energy PhysicsSeveral attempts to solve the cosmological constant problem, which concerns the value of the cosmological constant being extremely smaller than the Standard Model mass scales, have introduced a scalar field with a very flat potential that can be ...
