Philosophia Naturalis #9 has just become available, with numerous links to stories on the Gliese 581 c discovery and intriguing looks at everything from quantum mechanics to gamma ray bursts. Nobody can keep up with all the weblogs out there, which is why a blog ‘carnival’ like this one is must reading to see how the latest findings play among scientists and laymen alike (this is where I discovered Clifford’s Johnson’s Asymptotia, itself a sufficient reason to keep reading in hopes of future finds). Hosted this month by Science and Reason, the carnival moves from site to site with each new edition, none of which are to be missed.
