Gravitational waves, the evolution of human metabolism, theodiversity and quantum entanglement in this month’s issue of Scientific American
A lot of people have made a lot of money spreading myths and misinformation about metabolism. Nutritional supplement ads, diet books and pseudoscientific health websites claim they can help you boost your metabolism. Sometimes part of the pitch is that metabolism, which is just how your body uses energy, slows down in middle age or that women have a slower metabolism than men. The myths are persistent in part because the diet and supplement industries are so profitable and so poorly regulated.
Astronomers recently witnessed the synthesis of heavy elements for the first time. It all started when a distant star exploded and its core turned into a dense neutron star. Then its partner in a binary star system did the same. The two neutron stars spiraled into each other in a ripping crash that spilled neutrons into atoms of iron or other lighter elements.
One of our features in this issue is about death and grief and the extinction of languages and cultural traditions … but trust me, it’s a pleasure to read. Anthropologist Piers Vitebsky shares his life’s work among the Sora Indigenous people, who live in highlands of eastern India. He started documenting their language and religious practices in the 1970s and has witnessed massive cultural changes as young Sora convert to more dominant religions.
The 2022 Nobel Prize in Physics went to three scientists who helped to prove that the universe is not locally real. Really. Their work in quantum physics has advanced quantum computing and expanded human knowledge, and it is undoubtedly very important, but it’s also kind of unnerving. Things aren’t “real” unless someone observes them.
