First police force changes search guidelines for trans women in wake of Supreme Court gender ruling Trans women in custody will be searched by male officers following Wednesday’s landmark Supreme Court ruling, the British Transport Police have said.

I love the idea that if a cop is searching me, they are the one at risk of a personal violation.

Is Dark Energy Getting Weaker? New Evidence Strengthens the Case. | Quanta Magazine Last year, an enormous map of the cosmos hinted that the engine driving cosmic expansion might be sputtering. Now physicists are back with an even bigger map, and a stronger conclusion.

It’s important to map out our universe! But dynamical dark energy remains wildly implausible. It’s a fanciful notion, requires fine tuning worse than a pencil on its tip, and yet more tuning for the sole purpose of hiding itself from observers for so long. I call it a unicorn in a duck suit here:

Holographic (Eternal) Inflation We identify a minisuperspace of complex deformations of ABJM theory for which the partition function specifies the amplitude of an eternally inflating universe. The boundary theory predicts that the b...

Very happy to have arxiv.org/abs/2411.18396 out! I think it's exciting that we have a working dS/CFT set-up in 4D* Einstein gravity + matter from a top-down stringy setting. Surpirisingly, quantum cosmology and the swampland give identical consistency conditions.
