May A Court Take Judicial Notice of Gravity?

Law and Environment

It may be that the definition, which was – foolishly, I might note – borrowed from the Solid Waste Disposal Act, refers to the “discharge … of any solid or hazardous waste into or on any land or water ….” I like to think of this of this as the first example of a fact-finder taking judicial notice of the existence of gravity.

‘Science is a measure of our ignorance: the more we know, the more we realize how little we know’

Frontiers

As a member of the LISA and Einstein Telescope consortia, his research areas are gravitational waves, nonlocal quantum gravity, multifractal spacetimes, cosmologies beyond the standard model, and string theory. I mainly work on two theories of gravitation: multifractional spacetimes and nonlocal quantum gravity.

Guest Contributor Kate Mackintosh: 200 Words to Save the Planet—The Crime of Ecocide

Legal Planet

International crimes are crimes of a gravity that triggers international concern, and which cannot be left to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state or states that would normally have authority to prosecute. Most serious environmental damage, however, is simply not caught by any existing definition of an international crime.

The Climate Overshoot Commission Releases its Report

Legal Planet

In other words, the term suggests that such reversal and return is somehow automatic or easy, perhaps even built into the definition of “overshoot.” These buckets with their low overshoot numbers are a definitional artifact, arising from the year-2100 endpoint of the analyses. But unfortunately that’s not what it means at all.

Survey Shows Pathway To Speeding Up EV Adoption in Rural Areas

Union of Concerned Scientists

Because of the high torque and low center of gravity, they have excellent performance, which is important on rough, curvy and steep roads. The number of people who would definitely buy or lease an EV has more than tripled since 2020 A striking result from the survey is that slow adoption rate in rural areas is not for lack of interest in EVs.

Sterile neutrinos ruled out by MicroBooNE, but mysterious excess remains unexplained

Physics World

This left physicists scratching their heads until the late 1990s when experiments in Japan and Canada began finding definitive evidence that a neutrino of one flavour can change into a neutrino of a different flavour – a process called neutrino oscillation. So, any evidence for their existence is very exciting indeed.
