An overview on the present observational status and phenomenological understanding of cosmic rays above 10 eV is given. Above these energies the cosmic ray flux is expected to be gradually dominated by an extra-galactic component. In order to investigate the nature of this transition, current experimental activities focus on the measurement of the cosmic ray flux and composition at the ’ankle’ ...

The standard cosmological model ($\Lambda CDM$) assumes that everything started in a singular Big Bang out of Cosmic Inflation, mysterious form modern Aether (the inflaton). Here we look for direct observational evidence such beginning two recent measurements: 1) cosmic acceleration, something $\Lambda CDM$ attributes to Dark Energy (DE), 2) discordant measurements $H_0$ and anomalies the CMB. ...

Assessments of the impact automation often emphasize need to “denaturalize” work. To what extent is denaturalization successful in separating proposals regarding future work from existing assumptions about its value? This article will explore this question by reading Bernard Stiegler’s politics context his understanding family. It demonstrate that while he denaturalizes also naturalizes backgro...

In this thesis, I investigate the influence of the pro-Israel lobby, as a means of assessing more generally the role of interest groups in shaping American public policy, and whether the so-called “lobbies that can’t be beat” are truly unassailable. First, I probe the prevailing treatise on pro-Israel lobby influence, which portrays the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) as the ne...
