The Cosmological Constant Problem (2/2)
, 2015 I will review the cosmological constant problem as a serious challenge to our notion of naturalness in Physics. Weinberg’s no go theorem is worked through in detail.

Studies in Ethnicity and Nationalism, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Despite enduring decades of advocacy, Alevi communities in Türkiye find themselves in a constant state of anticipation for acknowledgment from the Turkish state. Previous studies have long documented the marginalized status of Alevis within Turkish society and their ongoing struggle for recognition; however, they have overwhelmingly framed the

A Small Cosmological Constant from a Large Number of Extra Dimensions
UniverseIn this article, we consider the 4 + n dimensional spacetimes among which one is the four dimensional physical Universe and the other is an n-dimensional sphere with constant radius in the framework of Lanczos-Lovelock gravity. We find that the curvature

What does it mean to be a post‐Newtonian? Schelling on competing scientific models
The Southern Journal of Philosophy, EarlyView.Abstract While Schelling's position has often been portrayed as highly critical of Newton, his discussion of Newton's theories has never been thoroughly studied. The goal of this paper is to analyze in more detail the relationship between Schelling and Newton, with an eye toward the fundamental question that guides Schelling: how can conflicts between ...

Identifying and Eliminating the Problem with Einstein's Cosmological Constant [PDF]
, 2005 The cosmological constant, lambda, was first introduced into Einstein's field equations in the early 20th century. It was introduced as a quantity of outward-pushing energy in space that would counteract the contracting force of gravity thereby keeping ...

Journal of Linguistic Anthropology, Volume 36, Issue 3, December 2026.Abstract This article traces the social life of medieval Persian poetry as it is repurposed within Los Angeles's Iranian diaspora. Based on 5 years of immersive ethnography in private erfān classes and mystical assemblies, I argue these gatherings function as contemporary diasporic courts, mobilizing core texts within a spiritual marketplace structured

Beyond Connection: Paradoxes of Psychedelic Resonance in Late Modernity
Future Humanities, Volume 4, Issue 2, November 2026.ABSTRACT This essay explores the enduring suspicion that psychedelic experiences are antithetical to the structural dynamic of modern societies through Hartmut Rosa's concepts of ‘resonance’ and ‘social acceleration’. Rosa's theoretical framework is particularly generative for studying the social meaning of contemporary psychedelia because it enables a

Suprathermal Electron Acceleration Comparison of the Venusian and Terrestrial Bow Shocks
Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 11, November 2026.Abstract We study suprathermal electron acceleration at the Venusian bow shock using the Parker Solar Probe gravity assists and the Venus Express spacecraft mission. The acceleration is classified by measuring the maximum energy and the power‐law spectral slope (index) of the electron phase space density immediately downstream of the shocks for ...

Spacetime Foam and Solution of the Cosmological Constant Problem
The cosmological constant problem is a fundamental issue that has puzzled researchers in the fields of theoretical physics and cosmology for a long time. It arises from the discrepancy between the observed value of the cosmological constant and the value
