What is Physics For? Why Classical Physics is not the Limit of Quantum Mechanics
Adam Frank, Jacques L. Pienaar, Michel Bitbol +4
Quantum mechanics is justifiably held to be the most successful physical theory ever created; yet no universally accepted interpretation of its mathematical formalism exists after…
Triggering A Climate Change Dominated "Anthropocene": Is It Common Among Exocivilizations?
Ethan Savitch, Adam Frank, Jonathan Carroll-Nellenback +3
We seek to model the coupled evolution of a planet and a civilization through the era when energy harvesting by the civilization drives the planet into new and adverse climate stat…
Proper Motions and Shock Wave Dynamics in the HH 7-11 Stellar Jet
P. Hartigan, R. Holcomb, A. Frank
We have used the Hubble Space Telescope to acquire new broad-band and narrow-band images of the optical line emission and red continuum associated with the HH 7-11 stellar jet in t…
The Astrobiology of the Anthropocene
Jacob Haqq-Misra, Sanjoy Som, Brendan Mullan +9
Human influence on the biosphere has been evident at least since the development of widespread agriculture, and some stratigraphers have suggested that the activities of modern civ…
Uncertain for A Century: Quantum Mechanics and The Dilemma of Interpretation
Adam Frank
Quantum Mechanics, the physical theory describing the microworld, represents one of science's greatest triumphs. It lies at the root of all modern digital technologies and offers u…
A New Empirical Constraint on the Prevalence of Technological Species in the Universe
Adam Frank, W. T. Sullivan
In this paper we address the cosmic frequency of technological species. Recent advances in exoplanet studies provide strong constraints on all astrophysical terms in the Drake Equa…
