  • The Limits of Our Personal Experience and the Value of Statistics
    It’s tempting to believe that we can simply rely on personal experience to develop our understanding of the world. But that’s a mistake. The world is large, and we can experience only very little of it personally. To see what the world is like, we need to rely on other... Read more »

  • Party Drug MDMA Inches Closer to Breakthrough Approval for PTSD
    MDMA doesn’t have the best reputation. Known as “ecstasy” or “molly,” the drug is synonymous with rave culture: all-night electronic beats and choreographed laser shows.

  • Reality doesn’t exist until you measure it, quantum parlor trick confirms
    If you don't look at the Moon, it might not be there. According to quantum mechanics, what exists depends on what is being measured. Normally, proving that reality is like that entails comparing obscure probability, but Chinese scientists have made the case more succinctly. They performed a matching game in... Read more »
