The Journal of Popular Culture, EarlyView.ABSTRACT At its core, Star Wars is a franchise George Lucas has led via his auteur vision. Since Lucas handed over the franchise reins to Disney, the company has courted several other auteurs to direct new entries in the series—each of those endeavors ended problematically.

The chemical evolution of galaxies
Metals -- heavy elements synthesized during various phases of stellar evolution or during supernova explosions -- play a fundamental role in shaping galaxy evolution. In fact, their relative abundances, spatial distribution, and scaling with galactic properties reflect the constant interplay between star-formation, nucleosynthesis, and gas flows that ...

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.Abstract Regolith samples from the carbonaceous asteroid Bennu were stowed and delivered to Earth in the OSIRIS‐REx spacecraft's Sample Return Capsule (SRC). We applied multiple analytical techniques to study the components of the post‐flight SRC, with a focus on assessing the conditions and any contaminants to which the Bennu samples were exposed ...

Nature's Complexity Alive: Farewell to Several Unificatory Cosmological Arguments for Monism
Noûs, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Throughout history, numerous thinkers have claimed that monism—in the form of priority monism, existence monism, monotheistic monism, or versions that posit an extra‐cosmic ultimate being—theoretically surpasses pluralism, above all by positing a unified universe.

New Phytologist, EarlyView.A model of the C‐repeat binding factor–salicylic acid (CBF–SA) module in plant wound healing. Summary Repairing damaged tissues is essential for the survival of all organisms. In plants, tissue injury rapidly triggers defense and repair programs. However, the molecular mechanisms linking early injury cues to the later stage of wound repair remain ...

Simulations All the Way Up! An Atheist's Response to the Fine‐Tuning Argument
Analytic Philosophy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT So the Fine‐tuning Argument goes, because it is so unlikely for the physical constants of the laws of nature to have taken the values that they in fact take, we should significantly raise our credence that God exists. Simulation Arguments argue that our world might be (or, in stronger versions, that it probably is) a mere computer simulation ...

The Problem of Psychonomic Harmony
Philosophy and Phenomenological Research, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The problem of nomological harmony is the problem of explaining why the laws of nature match or apply to the states of the universe in a way that results in temporal evolution. The problem of psychophysical harmony is the problem of explaining why phenomenal states are paired with physical states and other phenomenal states in surprisingly ...

Death, Deprivation, and the Symmetry Problem
Ratio, EarlyView.ABSTRACT According to the deprivation account of the badness of death, death is bad for the one who dies because it deprives her of goods she would otherwise have enjoyed. This view faces the so‐called symmetry problem when one considers prenatal nonexistence. Scholars have proposed various solutions to this problem, but all of them encounter their own
