Doomsday or Multiverse Bias

open access: yesPhilosophy and Phenomenological Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Bayesian epistemology faces serious challenges when dealing with self‐locating evidence. This paper argues that, given two modest assumptions about how confirmation should work (Patterning and Live Centers), Bayesianism faces an unavoidable dilemma.

Computers in Our Cosmos: Intersections in Geographies of Care, Abolition Geographies and Worker Movements

open access: yesTransactions of the Institute of British Geographers, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT AI assistants on spacecrafts. Netflix streamed through inter‐planetary communication networks. Colonies on Mars by 2050. While the glamorous public–private ventures into outer space curate discussions on the technical specificities of these proposed projects, this paper reorients discussions on such developments through critical frameworks of ...

Spaceborne and spaceborn: Physiological aspects of pregnancy and birth during interplanetary flight

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Crewed interplanetary return missions that are on the planning horizon will take years, more than enough time for initiation and completion of a pregnancy. Pregnancy is viewed as a sequence of processes – fertilization, blastocyst formation, implantation, gastrulation, placentation, organogenesis, gross morphogenesis, birth and neonatal ...

Alignment of the Starlings: Learning With Generative AI

open access: yesFuture Humanities, Volume 4, Issue 1, May 2026.
ABSTRACT I will argue that answers to normative questions concerning the place of generative AI in learning rest on answers to ontological questions regarding (1) precisely what is happening when a human ‘interacts’ with generative AI and (2) What is distinctive about organic learning as opposed to currently existing ‘machine learning’ (3) What is the ...

Soft quantum back reaction to the hubble tension: A smeared-out early time cosmological energy density

open access: yesPhysics Letters B
A theoretical explanation for the so-called Hubble tension is provided within the framework of phase-space quantum mechanics extended to (quantum) cosmology.

Equivalence of Models in Loop Quantum Cosmology and Group Field Theory

open access: yesUniverse, 2019
The paradigmatic models often used to highlight cosmological features of loop quantum gravity and group field theory are shown to be equivalent, in the sense that they are different realizations of the same model given by harmonic cosmology.

May I pick your brain? Local minds as living cadastres in a Portuguese eleventh‐century lawsuit

open access: yesEarly Medieval Europe, Volume 34, Issue 2, Page 231-253, May 2026.
In the context of a dispute with the monastery of Lorvão, in the late eleventh century, the monks of Vacariça, near Coimbra (modern Portugal), carried out a field enquiry in the village of Recardães. This was part of a failed attempt to repossess a number of land plots that they claimed were theirs, but had lost control of.

Mimetic gravity: mimicking the dynamics of the primeval universe in the context of loop quantum cosmology

open access: yesEuropean Physical Journal C: Particles and Fields, 2019
Mimetic gravity can be described as a formulation capable of mimicking different evolutionary scenarios regarding the universe dynamics. Notwithstanding its initial aim of producing a similar evolution to the one expected from the dark components of the ...

Three Methods to Identify and Visualize Nonuniform Changes in Interatomic Interactions: Second‐Difference Analysis, Anharmonicity Inversion, and Distance‐Dependent NMR Absolute Shieldings

open access: yesInternational Journal of Quantum Chemistry, Volume 126, Issue 7, April 5, 2026.
Three complementary approaches have been developed to visualize how vibrational excitation alters the potential energy surface of a diatomic electronic state, aiding in the interpretation of these changes and in the elucidation of the underlying interatomic interactions.

Quantum cosmology from quantum gravity condensates: cosmological variables and lattice-refined dynamics

open access: yesNew Journal of Physics, 2014
In the context of group field theory condensate cosmology, we clarify the extraction of cosmological variables from the microscopic quantum gravity degrees of freedom.
