Why Facts Don't Change Minds–Structure Does (A Systems Analysis of Belief)

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2026-01-31 03:51:50

In 1633, Galileo Galilei stood before the Inquisition, not for inventing a radical new theory, but for proposing a straightforward idea: that the Earth moves around the Sun. This wasn’t even a new suggestion—Greek astronomers like Aristarchus had floated the heliocentric model centuries earlier. But in Galileo’s time, the idea ran into an insurmountable obstacle.

‘The Fantastic Four: First Steps’ Isn’t Quite Fantastic, But It’s Pretty Great

gizmodo.com Germain Lussier 2026-01-31 04:00:22

The Fantastic Four: First Steps is like an ice-cold drink on a warm summer’s day. A slice of apple pie with a glass of milk. It’s a nice, simple, familiar-feeling movie that will make you feel warm and fuzzy for a while but maybe doesn’t have the lasting power of something stronger. It’s easily the best Fantastic Four movie ever, and yet, falls just short of being fully “fantastic.” Nevertheless, it’s still highly enjoyable.

Environmental protection rules for rocket launches targeted by Trump administration

The Trump administration is considering slashing rules meant to protect the environment and the public during commercial rocket launches, changes that companies like Elon Musk’s SpaceX have long sought. A draft executive order being circulated among federal agencies, and viewed by ProPublica, directs Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy to “use all available authorities to eliminate or expedite” environmental reviews for launch licenses.

Annie Chen first noticed she was unusually short of breath in 2017, while running to catch the bus home to New Jersey from her job in Manhattan. She told her primary care doctor, thinking of her father, who died of lung cancer at 71. But her doctor told her not to worry — her father was a heavy smoker, and Ms. Chen had never smoked. She continued to have difficulty breathing, but it wasn’t until two years later that a doctor ordered an X-ray, and Ms. Chen was diagnosed with Stage 4 lung cancer.
