weighing competing implausibilities can help us decide which we should back Quardia/Shutterstock IT ISN’T easy to predict where the next leap in scientific understanding will come from. In this week’s cover feature (see “How to wrap your head around the most mind-bending theories of reality”), philosopher Eric Schwitzgebel provides a handy guide to “weighing competing’s”. Much of his advice boils down to whether you prioritise conceptual simplicity over adherence to em

Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter’s Lunar Orbiting Laser Altimeter has produced detailed maps of the Lunar South Pole, including where water ice appears to fill the bottoms of permanently shadowed craters. Similar to sonar, but using light instead of sound, lidars calculate distances by timing how long a laser beam takes to reflect off a surface and return to an instrument. They increasingly help NASA scientists and explorers navigate, map, and collect scientific data.

The giant vortex mimics black holes so well that it could unlock huge possibilities in black hole research. Essentially, while a regular tornado rips up and circulates trees and houses, a quantum tornado circulates atoms and particles. To get the tornado to mimic a black hole, researchers had to use helium in its ‘superfluid’ state – meaning it had low viscosity and could flow without any resistance. This led them to discover that the tiny waves on the liquid’s
