PRESS RELEASE - Researchers have found a gap between water and a water-repelling surface that can give new insight into the way water and oil separate.
Scientists from the Max Planck Institute for Metals Research (Germany), the University of South Australia (Adelaide) and the ESRF carried out experiments on silicon wafers covered by a water-repulsive layer on the surface, at ESRF beamline ID15.
Studies of the water structure at the interface of the hydrophobic layer confirmed that a gap is formed between the layer and water and that its size is the diameter of a water molecule, somewhere between 0.1 and 0.5 nanometres.

Mind the Gap, Michael Palin reminds us in his foreword, is also testimony to what the French philosopher Derrida would probably call a trace, an admission of error written into the very being of the tube.
Michael Palin has kindly agreed to write a foreword to Mind the Gap, and has authorised his name to be printed on its front.
He is the perfect person to endorse the book, not just because its photographs are as amiable, quirky and English as he is, but also due to his status as a traveller of renown - not just on the obvious globe-trotting level, but also in his capacity as chairman of the pressure group Transport 2000.

 KCL: Mind the Gap
They argue that there is no way of bridging the "explanatory gap" between the material brain and the lived world of conscious experience (Levine, 1983), and that physicalism about the mind can therefore provide no answer to the "hard problem" of why brains give rise to consciousness (Chalmers, 1996).
Some of those philosophers who think the explanatory gap cannot be bridged say that they are otherwise persuaded of (or at least open to) physicalism (Nagel, 1974; McGinn, 1991; Strawson, 1994).
So in my view the problem of explaining the appearance of an explanatory gap reduces to the problem of explaning why most people are so resistant to accepting that conscious properties are identical with material propeties.

By understanding that the need is already fulfilled, we are not subject to external fears, desires or unconscious expectations and in turn, can reach a place of samadhi--a state of being aware of one’s existence and the interconnectedness of all things without conscious thought, a state of bliss and true being.
By being in the gap, we can break free from unconscious behavior and move into a state of awareness and clarity.

An interesting question is whether the GAP should attempt to measure compliance costs.
Maybe you could have several definitions of the GAP ranging from the narrow GAP - which would just be actual revenues - to the broad GAP - which could include all the costs (dead weight losses etc...) - with several levels in between.

If you've ever been on the Tube in London, you're probably familiar with the repeated warning "Mind the Gap" as the subway doors open and close, reminding passengers not to step off into the abyss between the train and the platform.
One of the striking features of the current market is the tendency for stocks to gap down on disappointing news.
