Behavioral economics doesn't ignore the market forces that were all-powerful in Econ 101, but it harnesses forces traditionally consigned to Psych 101. Behaviorists have always known we don't really act like the superrational Homo economicus of the neoclassical-model world. Years of studies of patients who don't take their meds, grownups who have unsafe sex, and other flawed decision makers have chronicled the irrationality of Homo sapiens. Some of our foibles are quite specific, like overvaluing things we have, overeating food in larger containers and overestimating the probability of improbable events - the quirk that made...

And I think I’d made a fine stab at propriety. But as we took our first, doomed steps I couldn’t help thinking this was the last time: who would I visit after this...
...Galileo measured how two balls fell in synchronization from atop the Tower of Pisa,” Kovachy said. If there is some atomic interference—that is, if two atoms of rubidium do not fall simultaneously—then scientists will have to rethink how gravitational forces act on particles generally. Thompson will also be pursuing research in physics. —PAUL C. MATHIS
