Book by Stephen Hawking
That was my immediate reaction, but the OP asks "My question is this. Do you know any equally interesting books / authors on medical, chemical or biological topics?"

Ai to map, plan for and disperse climate refugees?
You seem to be offering up ai as some sort of magical panacea, and, as Ghideon suggests, one that is part of science fiction rather than the real world. In our world, there are algorithms and spreadsheets and other computer-related tools, and these are already being used. Another disconnect is that somehow computer programming will not introduce or incorporate human bias, which it absolutely will, since humans are the ones doing the programming. Your "ideal way" depends on who is deciding on the ideal, which is very much a subjective criterion/criteria. All in all, this is far too nebulous of a proposal IMO. It's not much more than "can we use computers to do...stuff"

"Event separation " of objects
If the two events are outside of the other's light cone, then you can say that they have no interaction, when considering that event.

Ai to map, plan for and disperse climate refugees?
"a person who has been forced to leave their country in order to escape war, persecution, or natural disaster" (from whatever dictionary Google uses; emphasis added)
-
"Event separation " of objects
Again, there must a be a context to this - it might be meaningless under certain circumstances but not in general. No. No.

is it because of heat capacity?
It's the latent heat (as exchemist notes) combined with low humidity. If the humidity is high the water doesn't evaporate readily (you get significant condensation, which cancels the effect to some extent) In places in the US where you have low humidity, such as the southwest, they use evaporative cooling systems, aka "swamp coolers" https://home.howstuffworks.com/home-improvement/heating-and-cooling/swamp-cooler.htm Not so useful in muggy areas

"Event separation " of objects
It might. It depends on the context of how the phrase is used.

Ai to map, plan for and disperse climate refugees?
! Moderator Note What? You had someone respond with requests for clarification, without which there really can't be a discussion. You don't explain what you think AI brings to the table, nor do you bring any focus to what the distinction is between AI and current computer programming. You need to do a better job of framing the question. What does this have to do with tracking and dispersing refugees?

coupling constants
It's also used in NMR to express the separation of lines in a spectrum owing to hydrogen. And the relative strengths of the fundamental interactions

Astrogeomanity banned for continuing to post on a topic after they were told to stop, and that they would be banned if they did. (effed around, found out)

coupling constants
What is the context of this question? i.e. what specific subject?

Potential mass strike action in the UK
But the topic was about a strike, not a labor shortage, and it's not about applicants not taking jobs because the pay is too low. Unemployed people are not the ones who go on strike, employed people do. They strike if e.g. wages are not rising quickly enough. (or benefits are being cut, or work conditions are deficient etc.)

Black Holes in Sci-fi
The "fi" in "sci-fi" means fiction, so not being a real (i.e. factual) story is a given
-
wormholes and warp drives
Black holes are one example of a singularity. Not all singularities are black holes. Optical singularities would likely have nothing to do with GR phenomena. The Laser Focus World link explains one kind of circular polarization optical singularity The waves interfere constructively in the bright outer zone, and destructively in the inner dark area, forming the central vortex where the amplitude is zero and the phase is thus undefined.

Tachyons
! Moderator Note No, but the question was about articles on tachyons, and a search engine should be the first option for that.

Classified Documents
And now we can possibly put into context the CIA noticing that informants were going missing.

Does the Market Always decide? An application for AI?
A bad business owner does not. (I thought this was obvious). Businesses fail all the time. An owner may decide that they are doing well enough, and including a product that e.g. has a lower profit margin would mean less income. They don’t want to take the risk. ”the market will decide” is an idealized view. It’s an aphorism. It’s sort of true, it’s useful as an approximation, but there are exceptions.

Does the Market Always decide? An application for AI?
At the store. On the company website. Twitter. Facebook. If the market decided this would be automatic. But if there are bad business owners, it means that the market does not decide.

Does the Market Always decide? An application for AI?
If there are no dresses with pockets being sold, they have no choice. The market has not fulfilled the demand

Time dilation (split from The speed of time)
