Citeste mai mult

Venting can help us bond, but it can also leave a sour taste in your mouth – where is the line, and why do we love doing it? It’s a rush to realize you dislike the same person as someone else. There’s a delicate, intoxicating dance: throwing out oblique criticisms and prowling around the edges until one person takes the leap and bravely says: “Honestly, they kind of suck.” Soaking up the golden rays of your rightness and another’s wrongness can feel exhilarating. Then, sometimes, th...

‘Wobbly spacetime’ may help resolve contradictory physics theories

Citeste mai mult

Scientist proposes framework for reconciling mathematically incompatible theories of quantum mechanics and Einstein’s gravity At the heart of modern physics is a gulf that scientists have spent more than a century trying to bridge. Quantum mechanics gives an apparently flawless description of the forces that dominate at the atomic scale. Albert Einstein’s theory of general relativity has never been proven wrong in its predictions of how gravity shapes cosmic events. But the two theories are...

I used to be a huge people pleaser, but when I became seriously ill I finally learned to say no

Citeste mai mult

After being diagnosed with an autoimmune disease, I stopped trying to please everyone else. Now I have better relationships and a healthy, joyful life I’m a recovering people pleaser. Suppressing and repressing my needs, desires, expectations, feelings and opinions used to be as natural to me as breathing. To me, it was normal to tell people what they wanted to hear (read: lie) to make them feel better. Yes, I’ll be there for Christmas. Yes, I’ll do that for you. Yes, I can fit that in. A...

Boris Johnson’s legacy will be shaped by Covid inquiry appearance

Discredited ex-PM faces a demolition job in one of the few policy areas to which he and his allies still cling Even at the height of his popularity, Boris Johnson routinely avoided close questioning – to the extent of once hiding in a fridge to dodge a TV inquisitor. The former UK prime minister is likely to be dreading next week’s appearance at the Covid inquiry. And he probably should.
