Another Look at the Einstein-Maxwell Equations
An electric monopole solution to the equations of Maxwell and Einstein’s general relativity is displayed. It differs from the usual one in that all components of the metric vanish at large spatial distances from the charge rather than approaching the Minkowski metric. This enables us to find an approximate solution to that for many charges.
متن کاملGetting to Know Us
Since at least the dawn of history, human beings have been interested in their own origins and in the make-up of their world. Most cultures, for example, have "origins" stories in their religions and myths to explain what and who we are.

This is a worthy goal, but several indications leave grounds for cautious optimism at best. Evolutionary biology interprets non-kin helping behaviors as products of natural selection that rewarded only the transmission success of resident genes within ancestors, not t...

متن کاملActions That Make Us Know
The knowability paradox is usually formulated as a problem about the static propositions which express the knowledge that we can achieve in principle. In this paper, I propose to put these issues in a more ’dynamic’ light, by shifting the emphasis to the epistemic actions that produce knowledge, or sometimes even ignorance. The very notion of ’knowability’ seems mainly an existentially quantifi...
