ix). This is a bold claim in a day in which the conventional wisdom dictates that theology and science are two mutually irrelevant disciplines, whose respective findings have no implications for those of the other. As one who has tried to cross the line from the other direction, I can only agree with Davies, though perhaps for different reasons, that no serious religious thinker can ignore the ...

Fusion is a program transformation that combines adjacent computations, flattening structure and improving efficiency at the cost of clarity. Fission is the same transformation, in reverse: creating structure, ex nihilo. We explore the use of fission for program comprehension, that is, for reconstructing the design of a program from its implementation. We illustrate through rational reconstruct...

In this paper a simple model in particle dynamics of a well-known supertask is constructed (the supertask was introduced by Max Black some years ago). As a consequence, a new and simple result about creation ex nihilo of particles can be proved compatible with classical dynamics. This result cannot be avoided by imposing boundary conditions at spatial infinity, and therefore is really new in th...
