Well I am not sure about that.As it happens with most pop-sci publications the quality has taken a nose-dive.
For example:
> A new thought experiment indicates that quantum mechanics doesn’t work without strange numbers that turn negative when squared.
I am not saying is a "bad" magazine per se, all I am saying is virtuable indistiguinshable from your SciAm, New Scientist and Discover. Some good articles and plenty of fluff.
The level you want is in other places like:
-https://www.ams.org/notices https://www.ams.org/notices
- https://physicstoday.scitation.org/journal/pto https://physicstoday.scitation.org/journal/pto (free access to the 73 year archive)
- https://inference-review.com/issues https://inference-review.com/issues (Ignore the 2014 crackpot articles)
- perfmode 6y agobut he says that he enjoys this publication?
- cambalache 6y agoHe can decorate his walls with printouts of the articles for all I care. The point I made is that the magazine is not longer a high-level general scientific magazine (what OP thinks about that publication), it has become a new Scientific American.
