What is time, really—and why does it seem to flow? In this short essay, Stephen Wolfram explores time not as a coordinate or backdrop but as something generated by the ongoing computation of the universe itself. Drawing on ideas from his Physics Project, he explains how the passage of time—our experience of one moment giving way to the next—arises from the limits of what observers like us can compute. We can't see the future all at once; we have to compute it step by step.

Mathematics has long been regarded as the purest expression of truth — a language through which the universe reveals itself. Yet behind every equation stands the human mind that created it. In this book, Boris Krieger follows the path of mathematics from its simplest intuitions to its highest abstractions, asking what it truly reveals — about reality, and about ourselves. Through lucid reflection and critical insight, he shows that geometry, algebra, topology, and probability are not independent worlds but translations of human perception into structure.

What is Now? This immediate moment, what we're experiencing right now . . . it bathes us like air, or gravity. Yet when we try to grasp this quality, to scrutinize it or bring it into focus, it vanishes, slipping through our fingers like a dream. And worse, according to the most trusted models of physics, Now doesn't even exist. If all this is so, then what, exactly, are we experiencing? How do we carve out time, sensation, self, and meaning from a blank, Now-less canvas?

In Gödel’s Shadow: Why No System Can Explain Itself, Boris Kriger explores one of the most unsettling discoveries of modern logic and follows its consequences far beyond mathematics. Beginning with Gödel’s incompleteness theorems, the book traces how any system capable of describing itself inevitably encounters truths it cannot justify from within. What emerges is not a technical puzzle, but a profound philosophical insight into the nature of reason, meaning, and explanation.

EVOLVE will remove the mystery of AI and bring global awareness to Arria. It will document the vision of NLG everywhere and the impact this technology will have on business and society. It will remove the fear of “robots coming” and communicate Arria’s purpose of ensuring “humanity will remain at the heart of artificial intelligence through natural language generation,” enabling people to do more, be more.

What if love is neither a mystery nor a mere biological reflex — but a layered system where chemistry, consciousness, and culture intertwine? This book examines love without sentimentality and without reductionism. It reveals how desire emerges from dopamine-driven pursuit, why attachment relies on oxytocin and vasopressin, and how endorphins create the quiet stability many mistake for “routine.” But it also shows why no hormonal formula can sustain love on its own — and why meaning, choice, and the capacity to hold another person in one’s inner world matter as much as biology.

A daring and intimate exploration of how genetics complicates our ideas about blame, punishment, and moral responsibility, from acclaimed psychologist and author of The Genetic Lottery Kathryn Paige Harden. “An extraordinary book, the very best of science writing, because it is about not just...

Three hundred years ago, Leibniz proposed that our world is the "best of all possible worlds." Voltaire turned this idea into a joke. Philosophy moved on. The insight was lost. Until now.

What if the greatest obstacle to knowledge lies not in the world but in ourselves? Four centuries ago, Francis Bacon revolutionized human thought by identifying the “idols of the mind”—systematic biases that distort our understanding. Today, modern science has confirmed his insights with mathematical precision: the structure of our assumptions determines what we can know, often more fundamentally than the evidence we gather or the intelligence we apply.

Extreme heat, fires, floods, and storms are transforming our planet. Yet we get increasing emissions, divisive politics, and ersatz solutions that offer more of the same: more capitalism, more complexity, more "progress." The impasse we face is not only political and institutional, but cognitive, existential, and narrative. We're incapable of grasping the scale, speed, and impact of global warming. And we optimistically cling to a narrative that promises a better tomorrow if we just keep doing what we're doing.

Of the codified laws of nature, only one inscribes a direction to time: the dreaded second law of thermodynamics, which declares that the disorder of a closed system tends to increase as time passes. New shoes eventually scuff, our bodies weaken and die. Yet our senses tell us that miraculous order constantly emerges, too: children grow and learn; spontaneous patterns manifest in murmurations of starlings. Can it be true that the laws of our universe mandate only dissolution?

Do scientists speak truth to power? During the Cold War, a group of American strategists and science advisors claimed to do precisely that. Styling themselves as figures of rationality and restraint, they insisted that mutual assured destruction was the natural logic of the atomic age: as long as nuclear deterrence was credible, no one would ever shoot first. This doctrine, known as "strategic stability," became the foundation of the arms control movement. But in this counterhistory, Benjamin Wilson shows that we have misunderstood them and their efforts.
