What is the Quark-Gluon Plasma made of?

Leave a Comment / arXiv, Model Drift /

URL https://arxiv.org/pdf/2506.07181.pdf Stage Model Drift Paradigm framing The current paradigm considers the quark-gluon plasma (QGP) as a strongly coupled liquid-like state composed of short-lived quasiparticles. This preprint evaluates the existing paradigm using both perturbative and non-perturbative methods including hard-thermal loop perturbation theory, lattice QCD, and the functional renormalization group. Highlights This preprint surveys the current […]

Exoplaneteers Keep Overestimating Sigma Significances

Leave a Comment / arXiv, Model Drift /

URL https://arxiv.org/pdf/2506.05392.pdf Stage Model Drift Paradigm framing Frequentist and Bayesian statistics in exoplanetary atmospheric studies. Highlights The preprint identifies a drift within the current paradigm of exoplanetary atmospheric characterization. Specifically, it addresses the misapplication of a statistical conversion (Sellke et al. 2001) by exoplaneteers. The authors argue that while the conversion itself is valid, its

Ustekinumab for type 1 diabetes in adolescents: a multicenter, double-blind, randomized phase 2 trial

Leave a Comment / Model Drift, Normal Science /

URL https://www.nature.com/articles/s41591-024-03115-2.pdf Stage Normal Science / Model Drift Paradigm framing The current paradigm encompasses autoimmune mechanisms in type 1 diabetes (T1D) and the potential for immunomodulatory therapies. Highlights This phase 2 trial investigates ustekinumab, an approved drug for other autoimmune conditions, as a treatment for T1D in adolescents. The study operates within the existing paradigm

The Influenza-like Evolutionary Path of Respiratory RNA Viruses

Leave a Comment / Model Drift, Research Square /

URL https://www.researchsquare.com/article/rs-6707035/v1.pdf Stage Model Drift Paradigm framing The preprint operates predominantly within the established epidemiological paradigm of infectious disease modeling, exemplified by the SIR (Susceptible-Infected-Recovered) model. However, it introduces modifications that challenge certain assumptions of this paradigm, suggesting a state of Model Drift. Highlights This preprint introduces the SIRS-G model, an extension of the SIRS
