‘Missing persons’: Ancient legacies of human–environment interaction in tropical natural properties inscribed under the 1972 World Heritage Convention

open access: yesArchaeometry, EarlyView.
Abstract Cultural and natural values form the core of World Heritage designation. Properties displaying both values, however, comprise a fraction of inscriptions (currently c. 3%) to the World Heritage List. In 1992, when that fraction stood at c. 5%, adoption of the popular ‘cultural landscapes’ category of cultural heritage in 1992 was therefore ...

Properties, mechanisms, and perspectives of ultrafast laser modifications in silicate glass volume

open access: yesInternational Journal of Applied Glass Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Ultrafast laser irradiation of glass enables highly localized structural transformations within the material's bulk, unlocking diverse applications in photonics, data storage, and microfabrication. Here, we provide a concise yet comprehensive overview of the main types of femtosecond laser‐induced modifications in silica‐based glasses (Types I,

Galileo's ship and the relativity principle

open access: yesNoûs, EarlyView.
Abstract It is widely acknowledged that the Galilean Relativity Principle, according to which the laws of classical systems are the same in all inertial frames in relative motion, has played an important role in the development of modern physics. It is also commonly believed that this principle holds the key to answering why, for example, we do not ...

Flummoxing expectations

open access: yesNoûs, EarlyView.
Abstract Expected utility theory often falls silent, even in cases where the correct rankings of options seems obvious. For instance, it fails to compare the Pasadena game to the Altadena game, despite the latter turning out better in every state. Decision theorists have attempted to fill these silences by proposing various extensions to expected ...

The simplicity of physical laws

open access: yesNoûs, EarlyView.
Abstract Physical laws are strikingly simple, yet there is no a priori reason for them to be so. I propose that nomic realists—Humeans and non‐Humeans—should recognize simplicity as a fundamental epistemic guide for discovering and evaluating candidate physical laws.

On the photon–classical electromagnetic field relationship

open access: yesAnnals of the New York Academy of Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper discusses how the two ways in which the wavefunction of a free‐propagating photon can be introduced—starting from the relativistic energy−momentum relationship or based on the electromagnetic field, in particular on Riemann–Silberstein vectors—are not entirely equivalent since they can lead to different consequences regarding photon
