Fascinating and well informed article, although going in to many directions. I still wonder how you could make responsible AI that "gives a damn" about death without itself being aware of its own mortality. #PhilSky #PhilSci #AIEthics

3/3 Coherent states are often called the most classical quantum states — the ones that behave almost like waves. If quantum coherence ever matters in biology, these bounds define how much room there is. Could geometry constrain biology's quantum side? #academicsky #quantumbiology #philsci

2/3 Abreu (2026) proves isospectral majorization and isoperimetric inequalities for SU(2) coherent states on the Bloch sphere, using Husimi functions. A rigorous shape constraint on quantum uncertainty. https://arxiv.org/pdf/2608.12248v1 #academicsky #quantumbiology #philsci

1/3 Quantum states have geometry. On the Bloch sphere — the map of any two-level quantum system — a new theorem pins down exactly how spread out coherent states can be. An isoperimetric rule for the quantum world. #academicsky #quantumbiology #philsci

The Many Problems of Spacetime Emergence in Quantum Gravity
– Rasmus Jaksland & Kian Salimkhani

Abstract in alt text or read it here:
www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/10.1086/...

#philsci #philsky

ABSTRACT. We argue that what is discussed in philosophy under the umbrella of spacetime emergence in fact consists of a plethora of different problems. We advocate casting such debates in terms of the emergent spatiotemporal aspects, as already happens in physics. We then argue against three ways to reject our call for specificity: the many distinct philosophical problems relating to the emergence of the various spatiotemporal aspects do not suggest any singular, overarching, or exceptional problem of spacetime emergence. We also discuss how the objections are reflected by five conceptions of spacetime and we observe that different spatiotemporal aspects are emergent in the different quantum gravity approaches, whereby investigating emergence in quantum gravity collectively is problematic. Finally, we illustrate how conducting the investigation at the level of specific spatiotemporal aspects aids philosophical inquiry.

Aloha Bluesky!

I'm Bernadette, founder of The Insightful Scientist. We help researchers use scientific discovery as a force for good. Also, we’re based in Hawai’i. Happy to join researchers and thinkers here. What discoveries are on your mind right now?

1/3 A quantum computer's worst enemy is noise. A new design traps a single spin in a superconducting junction and wraps it in inductance — shielding the qubit from the disturbances that erase quantum information. #academicsky #quantumcomputing #philsci

The Philosophy of Memory Organization @phomode-vp.bsky.social keeps a set of teaching resources, including sample syllabi, here.

www.phomo.org/teaching-res...

This includes a course I have taught a couple of terms ago on "Topics in Philosophy of Memory" at LMU Munich.

We conclude by thinking through what #philsci might specifically offer the public engagement w/ science space. We think we do have something to offer, and it comes in the form of content and skills. Thanks having us be a part @adrian-currie.bsky.social and @phieveigl.bsky.social

Geometric Pooling: A User’s Guide
– Richard Pettigrew & Jonathan Weisberg

Abstract in alt text or read it here:
www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/10.1086/...

#philsci #philsky

ABSTRACT. Much of our information comes to us indirectly, in the form of conclusions others have drawn from evidence they gathered. When we hear these conclusions, how can we modify our own opinions so as to gain the benefit of their evidence? In this article, we study the method known as geometric pooling. We begin by raising objections to a recent argument in support of this method, and then turn to what we take to be better arguments in its favour; finally, we consider a further argument that appeals to the utility of geometric pooling in social settings, and we use our results from earlier in the article to suggest an amendment.

Are stem cell types natural kinds? The answer is multifarious.
