Observational Consequences of a Landscape

, 2005
In this paper we consider the implications of the "landscape" paradigm for the large scale properties of the universe. The most direct implication of a rich landscape is that our local universe was born in a tunnelling event from a neighboring vacuum ...

‘People Need to Understand That They Are Stealing From Their Neighbours’: A Critical Media Analysis of the Representations and Resistance Throughout the Robodebt Scheme

Australian Journal of Social Issues, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Robodebt scheme issued thousand‐dollar debts to an estimated half a million people who had received social security. The debts were largely inaccurate and illegal, with the aim of improving the federal government's budget. The 2023 Royal Commission into the Robodebt Scheme found that the stigmatising political and public language about ...

‘Turkeys Cannot Vote for Christmas’: Why Epistemic Disobedience in an Anti‐Black World Matters

Australian Journal of Social Issues, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Never in the history of global coloniality has the idea of epistemic disobedience been as important as in the 21st century. This is not only because the struggle for decolonisation has shifted from physical confrontation between the coloniser and the colonised into a battle of ideas but also because the former has deployed the idea of ...

Negative vacuum energy densities and the causal diamond measure

, 2009
Arguably a major success of the landscape picture is the prediction of a small, non-zero vacuum energy density. The details of this prediction depends in part on how the diverging spacetime volume of the multiverse is regulated, a question that remains ...

On likely values of the cosmological constant [PDF]

, 2000
We discuss models in which the smallness of the effective vacuum energy density $\rho_\L$ and the coincidence of the time of its dominance $t_\L$ with the epoch of galaxy formation $t_G$ are due to anthropic selection effects.

Confessions of a Poverty Researcher: My Journey Through the Foothills of Scholarship

Australian Journal of Social Issues, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper describes the key events, experiences and ideas that influenced the author's career as a poverty researcher. He describes how his early disillusion with economics was replaced by a spark of interest in social issues and how his migration from the UK to Australia in the mid‐1970s provided the impetus to begin what became a lifetime ...

Measures for a Transdimensional Multiverse

, 2010
The multiverse/landscape paradigm that has emerged from eternal inflation and string theory, describes a large-scale multiverse populated by "pocket universes" which come in a huge variety of different types, including different dimensionalities.

How Are Australian Local Governments Responding to the Homelessness Crisis? Findings From a National Study

Australian Journal of Social Issues, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Australian local governments are facing intensifying pressures to respond to worsening visible homelessness. This paper presents one of the first national studies on how local governments are responding to these pressures, and the first since the onset of the post‐pandemic housing crisis.

Perilous presencing: How the church’s sacraments re-symbolize trauma

Acta Theologica
This article examines the church’s sacramental life – baptism and the Eucharist – as enactments of trauma that mirror Christ’s suffering and death, shaping its vocation of self-giving for a broken world.

Impact of Cattaneo–Christov Heat and Mass Flux on MHD Hybrid Nanofluid Flow Over an Extending Surface With Convective and Mass Flux Effects

Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigates the flow of a magnetized hybrid nanofluid over a permeable stretching surface. The mass and thermal transport within the system is regulated using the Cattaneo–Christov flux theory. The fluid is additionally subjected to thermophoresis, chemical reaction, Brownian motion, and activation energy effects.
