A Weak Assumption in the Discussion of Gorsuch in Bostock
Richard Primus, Balkinization - 7 hours ago
A lot of virtual ink has been spilled on Justice Gorsuch’s opinion for the Court in *Bostock*. Much of it has adopted the frame that Gorsuch followed his jurisprudential principles—specifically, a commitment to a certain kind of textualism—even though it led him to a result that isn’t congenial to his side of the ideological divide. I understand why people have adopted that frame. But I want to suggest that discussing his opinion in those terms misses something pretty important. It’s this: Why, exactly, should we think that Justice Gorsuch, as a matter of his pe...

Molecular Diffusion And Chemical Reaction Are Unrelated? A New Challenge In Chemistry
News Staff, Science 2.0 blogs - 8 hours ago
Common chemical reactions accelerate Brownian diffusion by sending long-range ripples into the surrounding solvent, which would mean that molecular diffusion and chemical reaction are unrelated. Yet that would violate a central dogma of chemistry; that molecular diffusion and chemical reaction are unrelated. The ripples generated by chemical reactions, especially when catalyzed - accelerated by substances not themselves consumed - propagate long-range. This challenges the view that molecular motion and chemical reaction are decoupled, and that reactions affect only the nearby vic...
