If you are aware of an interesting new academic paper (that has been published in a peer-reviewed journal or has appeared on the arXiv), a conference talk (at an official professional scientific meeting), an external blog post (by a professional scientist) or a news item (in the mainstream news media), which you think might make an interesting topic for an FQXi blog post, then please contact us at forums@fqxi.org with a link to the original source and a sentence about why you think that the work is worthy of discussion. Please note that we receive many such suggestions and while we endeavour to respond to them, we may not be able to reply to all suggestions.

The impossibility of building a perfect clock could help explain away microscale weirdness.
Constructing a Theory of Life
An all-encompassing framework of physics could help to explain the evolution of consciousness, intelligence, and free will.
Usurping Quantum Theory
The search is on for a fundamental framework that allows for even stranger links between particles than quantum theory—which could lead us to a theory of everything.
Fuzzballs v Black Holes
A radical theory replaces the cosmic crunchers with fuzzy quantum spheres, potentially solving the black-hole information paradox and explaining away the Big Bang and the origin of time.

Hi Robert
Posting your essay here, for votes, must be akin to asking a 'Tyre/Tire' dealership, to adjust your vehicles 'tracking' accurately!?
I must admit to having had to look up more 'names and words'in 'Wiki' and dictionaries, whilst reading your essay than most others. However I have found the process most enlightening and rewarding.
Thank you.
Does being 'polemic' mean that you are 'forcibly sick' of 'science' leading us up the garden path and therefore need to strike an opposing stance? If so, I too find that, yet again, I am poised with fingers, in my 'minds throat'. I have no 'intention' of following any 'white rabbits' but it is difficult to avoid the holes they dig.There are so many.
Good Luck.
