  6. Big Picture Science for Aug 24, 2026: Measure For Measure

    REPEAT
    Whether in miles or pounds, meters or kilograms, we take daily measure out our lives. But how did these units ever come to be, and why do we want to change them? From light-years to leap seconds, we look at the history of efforts to quantify our lives and why there’s always room for greater precision. Plus, we debate the virtues of staying imperial measurements vs. going metric.

  17. New paper: "Valuation Without ℝ: A Category-Theoretic Foundation for Finite Measurement"

    Can measurement be formalized independently of real numbers AND set theory?

    We axiomatize "valuation" as a graded distinguishability map satisfying the ultrametric inequality. Dimension emerges as the growth exponent of the distinguishability graph.

  20. From Fragmentation To Integration - A Review Of Data–Model Integration In Land Subsidence Research
    --
    doi.org/10.1016/j.ancene.2026. <-- shared paper
    --
    H/T @manonzero current drought conditions, increasing pressure on ecosystems, and ongoing climate adaptation challenges, land subsidence is receiving growing attention worldwide.
    For anyone wanting to learn more about land subsidence, or get a refresher, [the authors] provide an overview of the processes involved, the ways it can be measured or estimated, the models used to simulate it, and how observations and models can be combined, [their] new [#openaccess] review paper [link above] may be of interest!
    A central message of the paper is that understanding and managing land subsidence requires bringing these different sources of information together…”
    --
    “HIGHLIGHTS:
    • Presents a comprehensive synthesis that unifies all major elements of integral land-subsidence research.
    • Defines the methodological steps needed for full integration and positions them within the broader challenges posed by subsidence.
    • Brings together and distills the key components of data, modelling, and integration into a coherent framework.
    ABSTRACT: Land subsidence, the sinking of the Earth’s surface, is a multi-faceted hazard driven by both natural and anthropogenic factors, and poses significant risk to environments, ecosystems, and society. Despite decades of growing research output, substantial gaps persist between investigations on the diversity of causes, reflected in data and model insufficiency. These gaps hinder the understanding of the issue and impede the effectiveness of mitigation measures. Many studies have urged to include all identified subsidence processes acting in a single area in an integral framework, for which a complex analysis has not systematically been outlined before. Therefore, [they] focus here on bridging the gaps between various technical research disciplines involved. [They] stress the urgency for an integral approach that combines observations with subsurface information of all known subsidence processes in an area, and [they] appeal for utilizing them in physics-guided data integrations. Only then can all subsidence drivers be understood, and effective mitigation measures designed. [They] outline the elements for an integral approach in categorical tables and schematized figures, and [they] discuss the main opportunities and challenges in a stepwise workflow. Leveraging these opportunities naturally leads to more robust, scalable, and policy-relevant solutions and fosters a more sustainable future…”

  36. The Clock and The Calendar Didn’t Have to Look Like This

    Two of our basic time units are non-negotiable. A day is one rotation of the Earth. A year is one trip around the Sun. Nature hands us these whether we like it or not, no civilisation ever had to invent the day. Everything else - the week, the month, and even the hour, minute, and second - is a human invention layered on top. Nothing in physics requires 24 hours, 60 minutes, or a 7-day cycle. We made all of it up. And the fact that nearly every civilisation independently arrived at something […]
