This article synopsizes some fascinating work out of the U. Of Leiden.
Information could be a temporal-cellular component of all reality, responsible for the arrow of time, dark matter and energy, and even gravity itself.
Information theory is getting deep!

Is time a fundamental part of reality? A quiet revolution in physics suggests not
Physicists long believed time was a basic feature of the universe. But it may just emerge from cosmic information.

Two of the greatest boxing photos of all time both involve late ringside photographer and legend Herb Scharfman (1911 - 1998).
First is Scharfman's epic shot of the real Rocky punching Jersey Joe. In the other more famous snap of Ali standing over Liston, he's visible between Ali's legs.

The two most iconic boxing photos of all time couldn’t be more different – and they reveal a hidden truth about the decisive moment
Two of the most famous frames in sports history: one the impact of a devastating punch; the other, the immediate aftermath. Proof that the decisive moment isn’t always the climax of the action

To me, the thing that's so silly about emergent physicalism is that it assumes more than panpsychism about the nature of reality. Yes, birds and people have different brains. But are trees really unconscious? Maybe if you watched an Aspen grove for a couple hundred years, you'd get a different idea.

Summary: Researchers at Ruhr University Bochum explore why consciousness evolved and why different species developed it in distinct ways. By comparing humans with birds, they show that complex awarene...

A fascinating theory here about the nature of the observer in a topologically closed universe. Without such an observer, such a universe, paradoxically, can't even exist. There seems a requirement for information to be present on an observable boundary for the concept of information to have meaning.

They're finally snuffing out the 'standard candle.' It's an assumption in cosmology that all Type 1A supernovas are exactly the same. Without it, the age, distance and expansion rate of the observable universe will need to be recalibrated, and some of the Hubble tension should disappear.

Remarkable new study determines there is 'no evidence' of an accelerating universe
"Remarkable" findings from Yonsei University cast doubt on 'dark energy' theory and claim there is "no evidence" of an accelerating universe.

Working with kids on creative writing recently has reminded me: storytelling, at its heart, is a human to human sharing of language and meaning and experience.
No kind of imitative machine, AI or other, will ever be able to do that. It's a fundamentally cognitive act; it can't be faked.

Autumn is the spirit season. Someone once said it's when the veil between one world and another thins. A dying time, perhaps, but a sacred transition: when color and sunsets umber and burn, the light of heaven begins to stretch and days fade. After the last leaf is down, nature whispers "eternity."
