Different Frontier, Same Legal Script? On the Course of Replicating Earth's Patterns in Space
The Modern Law Review, EarlyView.As states and private actors expand their activities in outer space, the international legal framework governing this domain risks extending longstanding structures of global inequality beyond Earth. This article examines how international space law, shaped by a broader disciplinary pattern of reactive legal development, is poised to reproduce ...

Quantum Darwinism, classical reality, and the randomness of quantum jumps [PDF]
Physics Today, 2014 The core principles that underlie quantum weirdness also explain why only selected quantum states survive monitoring by the environment and, as a result, why we experience our world as classical.

Theological Doctrines as Scientific Theories? Thinking along with and beyond McGrath
International Journal of Systematic Theology, EarlyView.Abstract McGrath's recent analysis of the parallels between scientific theory formation and the development of theological doctrine in The Nature of Christian Doctrine (OUP, 2024) is insightful and largely compelling, but also raises some questions and areas for further exploration. First, there is a remarkable back‐and‐forth between uses of ‘doctrine’

Journal of Management Studies, EarlyView.Abstract We analyse the behaviour of multinational enterprises (MNEs) within a host nation – Australia – during deglobalization (1914–79). Deglobalization is often portrayed as a drastic event to which MNEs respond swiftly, probably through withdrawal from host countries.

Modern Theology, EarlyView.Abstract This essay, designed as a complement to opinions expressed by Rowan Williams and some speakers at the conference in his honour, explores features of early Christianity which suggest a positive evaluation of artificial intelligence. Noting that the fear of reducing humans to machines has been joined in the modern age by the fear that machines ...

Quantum Darwinism and envariance
, 2004 Effective classicality of a property of a quantum system can be defined using redundancy of its record in the environment. This allows quantum physics to approximate the situation encountered in the classical world: The information about a classical system can exist independently from its state.

Powers That Be: An Adventure in Metaphysics
Philosophical Investigations, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This paper is an investigation into the increasingly popular trend amongst philosophers on the metaphysics of powers, exemplified by the statement: ‘To be real is to possess a power to affect (or to be affected by) other things’. First, I briefly trace the history of this idea (from the Eleatic dialectic of ancient times to present day quantum

Angewandte Chemie, Volume 138, Issue 17, 20 April 2026.This study explores the origins of life by linking prebiotic chemistry, the emergence of information‐carrying molecules such as RNA and proteins, and philosophical questions about consciousness. The study emphasizes the role of molecular evolution in the Central Dogma and provides insights into the chemical origins of biology and the basis of life's ...

The rise and fall of redundancy in decoherence and quantum Darwinism [PDF]
New Journal of Physics, 2012 A state selected at random from the Hilbert space of a many-body system is overwhelmingly likely to exhibit highly non-classical correlations. For these typical states, half of the environment must be measured by an observer to determine the state of a given subsystem.

A thermodynamically consistent approach to the energy costs of quantum measurements [PDF]
QuantumConsidering a general microscopic model for a quantum measuring apparatus comprising a quantum probe coupled to a thermal bath, we analyze the energetic resources necessary for the realization of a quantum measurement, which includes the creation of ...
