A number of philosophers and scientists have discussed the possibility of inseparability between the subject (i.e., the observer) and the object (i.e., the observed universe). In particular, it has recently been proposed that this inseparability may be obtained through the discrete physical universe being filled with the observers continuous consciousness through quantum evolution with time going backwards. The proposal of a universe view with interwoven matter and mind through cyclical time bears a resemblance to Immanuel Kants discussion of the Copernican Revolution in philosophy, where the priority shifted from the object to the subject.

We discuss the reception of Copernican astronomy by the Provenc{c}al humanists of the XVIth-XVIIth centuries, beginning with Michel de Montaigne who was the first to recognize the potential scientific and philosophical revolution represented by heliocentrism. Then we describe how, after Keplers Astronomia Nova of 1609 and the first telescopic observations by Galileo, it was in the south of France that the New Astronomy found its main promotors with the humanists and amateurs eclaires, Nicolas-Claude Fabri de Peiresc and Pierre Gassendi. The professional astronomer Jean-Dominique Cassini, also from Provence, would later elevate the field to new heights in Paris.
Kant put forward the notion of the Transcendental Aesthetic (TA) in his manuscript ${it A; Critique; of; Pure; Reason}$. In this note I review the TA in light of the detection of gravitational wave radiation. While the notion of the TA has been refuted in many different ways since its introduction, I argue that this simple proof by contradiction is of interest pedagogically and philosophically. I hope this elucidation may be useful in introductory science courses and in science communication more generally.
Understanding the human brain remains one of the most significant challenges of the 21st century. As theoretical studies continue to improve the description of the complex mechanisms that regulate biological processes, in parallel numerous experiments are conducted to enrich or verify these theoretical predictions and with the aim of extrapolating more accurate models. In the field of magnetometers for biological application, among the various sensors proposed for this purpose, NV centers have emerged as a promising solution due to their perfect biocompatibility and the possibility of being positioned in close proximity and even inside the cell, allowing a nanometric spatial resolution. There are still many difficulties that must be overcome in order to obtain both spatial resolution and sensitivity capable of revealing the very weak biological electromagnetic fields generated by neurons (or other cells). However, over the last few years, significant improvements have been achieved in this direction, thanks to the use of innovative techniques, which allow us to hope for an early application of these sensors for the measurement of fields such as the one generated by cardiac tissue, if not, in perspective, for the nerve fibers fields. In this review, we will analyze the new results regarding the application of NV centers and we will discuss the main challenges that currently prevent these quantum sensors from reaching their full potential.
Over the recent years, the Petersen diagram for classical pulsators, Cepheids and RR Lyr stars, populated with a few hundreds of new multiperiodic variables. We review our analyses of the OGLE data, which resulted in the significant extension of the known, and in the discovery of a few new and distinct forms of multiperiodic pulsation. The showcase includes not only radial mode pulsators, but also radial-non-radial pulsators and stars with significant modulation observed on top of the beat pulsation. First theoretical models explaining the new forms of stellar variability are briefly discussed.
Although the current information revolution is still unfolding, the next industrial revolution is already rearing its head. A second quantum revolution based on quantum technology will power this new industrial revolution with quantum computers as its engines. The development of quantum computing will turn quantum theory into quantum technology, hence release the power of quantum phenomena, and exponentially accelerate the progress of science and technology. Building a large-scale quantum computing is at the juncture of science and engineering. Even if large-scale quantum computers become reality, they cannot make the conventional computers obsolete soon. Building a large-scale quantum computer is a daunting complex engineering problem to integrate ultra-low temperature with room temperature and micro-world with macro-world. We have built hundreds of physical qubits already but are still working on logical and topological qubits. Since physical qubits cannot tolerate errors, they cannot be used to perform long precise calculations to solve practically useful problems yet.
