Gravitational Waves: Echoes of the Biggest Bangs Since the Big Bang and/or BSM Physics? by John Ellis

“…Follow-up measurements of neutron star mergers have provided evidence for the production of heavy elements, possibly including some essential for human life. The gravitational waves in the nanoHz range observed by Pulsar Timing Arrays (PTAs) may have been emitted by supermassive black hole binaries, but might also have originated from BSM cosmological scenarios such as cosmic strings, or phase transitions in the early Universe. …”

The plurality of temporal reckoning among the Maya by William F. Hanks

“…It demonstrates that multiple systems of temporal reckoning and orientation co-operate in the traditional domains of daily practice, and it attempts to formulate principles by which different systems are combined in actional frameworks It is argued that most cyclicity in contemporary Yucatec Maya is derivative of natural or social processes and that in rituals it results from the translation of spatial arrays into temporal sequences. The paper tracks the varieties of cyclic and spiral time measurement in several domains, where different units and levels of temporal measurement and different rhythms are observed: 1) the field of co-presence in which utterances are performed, including deictic time; 2) the diurnal cycle and its actional correlates; 3) the agricultural cycles, the forest life cycle and the labor they imply; 4) domestic space whose time involves in addition the age and generational relations among co-residents; 5) ritual time in Yucatec shamanic practice, which is given special attention. …”
