  1. → GBIF Geocoder: using GBIF to find places on a map
    iphylo.blogspot.com/2026/02/gb

    “The idea behind the "GBIF Geocoder" is that GBIF has a huge number of geocoded specimens, and hence if you are looking for coordinates for a locality there is a good chance that somebody has already found them. So, all we need to do is search GBIF for specimens with localities that match the place you are trying to geocode.”

    The Amazing History of #Locality in #Theoretical #Physics

    #Philosopher #DavidAlbert rambles (his word) for ½ hour on the often gripping (and #funny) #saga of #nonlocality in #scientific #thought. Starting with #fish, he ushers us along to #Bell's #Theorem in the 1960s. It seems we are "inescapably" in the age of nonlocality. Perhaps an age of #TimeTravelers?

  3. Everything is an intersection of #Lagrangian #submanifolds, implying fundamental #locality. The apparent non-localities in #QuantumMechanics, arising from #measurement #incompatibility, suggest that at a deeper level, quantum mechanics is equivalent to classical #ergodic systems.

  4. > On October 4th Alain Aspect, John Clauser and Anton Zeilinger were awarded the #Nobel #Prize in physics for proving that the #Universe isn't #locally #real .
    What I love about this story is that it's a story of quite literally some of the smartest people who have ever lived being confused and how ultimately #Einstein was #proven #wrong , which doesn't really happen all that often.
    That idea of #locallyreal is made up of two concepts:
    #Locality is the idea that things are only affected by their local environment - you can't flick a switch in another galaxy hundreds of light years away and instantly see the results here because nothing not even information can travel faster than light.
    #Realness though is much harder to explain and that is the focus of the #NobelPrize . ...
