There are two key tests of what makes a movie star. The first is whether the actor in question can carry a movie. That’s something Austin Butler does with an easy, laid-back charm in “Caught Stealing,” such that none of the characters with whom he shares the screen could be accused of stealing it out from under him. And the second is whether they can open it, which we’ll learn soon enough, when director Darren Aronofsky’s scuzzy misfit of a movie — featuring Butler’s most relatable role yet, despite the degree of violence to which he’s exposed — hits theaters…

This means these three values can’t be independent; if you know two of them, you can derive the third. How do physicists deal with this? We define the speed of light as exactly 299,792,458 meters per second. (How do we know it’s exact? Because we define a meter as the distance light travels in 1/299,792,458 of a second.) Then we measure the magnetic constant (μ0) and use that value along with the speed of light to calculate the electric constant (ε0).Maybe that seems like cheating, but to even start doing actual science, at some point we have to make up…

Allotments were originally “allotted” to the landless poor of the 18th century to give them dignity, a means of eating and reprieve from the daily grind of land or industrial work (The one change that worked: I gave up my allotment – and accepted who I really am, 18 August). They were a necessity during the two world wars, after which Britain had never been leaner, fitter or taller.Today, we are not as hungry as our ancestors were and life is convenient. However, we are in the throes of obesity, diabetes and mental health crises, we stand on the edge…
