Science 2.0

Founded in 2006, Science 2.0 was established to enhance the way science is communicated, published, collaborated on, and engaged with by the public. Our mission is to achieve the following goals: We aim to provide a platform where top scientists can share articles and discuss important topics freely, without the constraints of size or editorial biases. There are no political or cultural influences here, allowing readers to access high-quality science directly from the source and discover new knowledge. We strive to build a collaborative environment equipped with tailored tools that foster genuine teamwork among scientists. Additionally, we advocate for an open publishing model. The traditional subscription-based model is no longer sustainable, especially since taxpayers fund academic research. Therefore, they should have the right to access this information without any fees. While open access, which shifts the cost to scientists, is a step forward, Science 2.0 promotes a truly open publishing approach—where readers can read for free, and scientists can publish without any costs.

No Goldilocks, Webb Telescope Didn't Discover Life On K2-18b

1 week ago | science20.com | Hank Campbell

K2-18b, detected in 2015, orbits a star 124 light years away. Though it is over 800% as large as Earth, its space in the habitable zone of its star, like where we are, means the possibiliy that liquid water could exist on its surface. The science community calls it The Goldilocks Zone. Like the character in the children's story who wanted porridge neither too hot nor too cold, a Goldilocks planet that might have life we could recognize would need to be in a similar narrow band.
UK Supreme Court Rules On Biological Sex - But The Debate Won't End There

Three Scottish women up against the Scottish government, which had made policy stating that a gender recognition certificate could go anywhere that those deemed biologically female at birth could go.

What? Another boring chess game? Buzz off, this is my blog, and if I feel like posting a chess game, that's what is going to happen. But if you like the game, stay here - this is a nice game. Again played after hiours today, and again on a 5' online blitz server (chess.com). What amazes me is that these days I seem to have a sort of touch for nice attacks and brilliant combinations. Let me show you why I am saying this.
People Are Fine With AI But Rarely Fooled

Due to anti-vaccine hype from 1998 to 2021 which then flipped to the other major US political party, there is recurring rending of garments about science literacy. Add in a 9% difference between the left and right in acceptance of evolution and beliefs that fructose in honey is health food while fructose in corn syrup is poison, PFAS, and that GMOs cause lower grades in school, it's easy to see that US adult science literacy is only about 30%.

Climate Change Is Causing More Snowflakes

1 week ago | science20.com | Hank Campbell

In a bizarre experiment, scholars declared that survivors of one of California's annual wildfires instead suffered PTSD due to climate change. It was a small group, 27 who had been near a fire in 2018, 21 who had seen smoke, and 27 in the control group. Participants had EEG brain scans taken while they engaged in behavior which could provide monetary rewards. The scholars also subjectively scored their Win-Stay behavior, basically how often they sought the highest long-term rewards.
When The Attack Plays Itself

1 week ago | science20.com | Tommaso Dorigo

After a very intense day at work, I sought some relaxation in online blitz chess today. And the game gave me the kick I was hoping I'd get. After a quick Alapin Sicilian opening, we reached the following position (diagram 1):As you can see, black is threatening a checkmate with Qxg2++. However, the last move was a serious error, as it neglected the intrinsic power of my open files and diagonals against the black king. Can you find the sequence with which I quickly destroyed my opponent's position? 1.

Among the 900 compounds that France's International Agency for Research on Cancer "suggests" are linked to cancer, nearly all have relied on studies in mice. Scientists know mice are not little people but epidemiologists use animal models, very often at high doses, up to 10,000X realistic levels, to make their claims that everything causes cancer.
Toponium Found By CMS!

The highest-mass subnuclear particle ever observed used to the the top quark. Measured for the first time by the CDF experiment in 1994, and subsequently confirmed by CDF and D0 in 1995, the top quark is the heaviest elementary particle we know of, and it is a wonderful physical system per se, which has been studied with momentum in the past thirty years at the Tevatron and at the LHC colliders.
