Get Scientific American for November

 I don't often urge people to dash out and buy a magazine, but just looking over the November issue of
​​
Scientific American's
Table of Contents, I'd like to suggest if you have any interest in a scientific perspective, that you get a hold of a copy or take a look in the library. A really stellar collection of articles this month.

1. Fascinating article on how quantum entanglement may play a role on a large scale as well as a micro scale (hence the pic on the cover of entangled black holes). See also interesting new book by Musser on the same topic, taking a snark of Einstein's as a title, "
​​
Spooky Action at a Distance
."

2.
​"​
The Fusion Underground,
​"​
about physicists working on new ideas for fusion energy, which someday somehow will be the energy of our civilization (it's what powers stars, after all).

3.
​"​
Things We Know to be True (but keep forgetting).
​"​


4.
​"​
Get Clean or Die Trying
​"​
about medically controversial use of illegal and potentially dangerous anti-addiction drug ibogaine.

5.
​"​
Language in a New Key,
​"​
critiquing Noam Chomsky's innate language facility theory.
