The Biggest Myths About Attraction—Debunked by Science - Next Big Idea Club

Working from home won't hurt morale, no matter what your boss says. Remote work isn’t new—I’ve known people who telecommuted in the 1960s, and farmers were working from home long before that.

A new analysis led by researchers at the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, Mumbai, together with Professor Subir Sarkar of the University of Oxford, is challenging one of the central ideas in modern cosmology: that the universe is expanding at an accelerating rate because of "dark energy" associated with the quantum vacuum. Their letter, published in Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, argues that the evidence for cosmic acceleration may not be as strong as widely assumed. The conclusion is disputed. In the same issue of the journal, a separate paper co-authored by Professor Maria Vincenzi, also at the University of Oxford, concludes that observations continue to support an accelerating universe.
