Babar: Sin(2β + Γ) Babar: Sin(2β + Γ)

The time-dependent CP asymmetries in fully reconstructed B0→D(∗)±π∓/ρ∓ decays (new preliminary result), and in partially reconstructed B0→D(∗)±π∓ decays, are measured with the BABAR detector at the PEP-II asymmetric B factory at SLAC, using 232 million Υ (4S) → BB decays. We combine the above results and, using other measurements and theoretical assumptions, we interpret them in terms of the an...

Genetics of Original Sin

The continuous repetition of Christian de Duve’s primary thesis in Genetics of Original Sin ensures that however little the reader understands or is interested in biology, he will have no doubt as to the author’s primary concern: Natural selection has made humans poor prognosticators. As evolutionary adaptation is all about living (and reproducing) in the moment, humans have evolved some unfort...

Creation, Sin, and Debt

T here is no denying that the recent papal encyclical, Laudato si’, represents a sea change in official Catholic social teaching.1 For one thing, it is addressed not simply to the bishops nor even to each member of the Catholic Church but to “every person living on this planet” (§3); for another, it speaks from the perspective of the global South and names the debts owed by the North to the Sou...

And they will be ready to punish all disobedience, when your obedience...
