bhobba replied to the thread I A very interesting paper on orthodox quantum mechanics.True. But we have the EFT view of QFT, which suggests we really do need to know more about regions beyond which we can currently probe... -
bhobba reacted to Demystifier's post in the thread I Are fields' reality only a relative one? with
Love.
If the fields of the Standard Model are not fundamental, then what is? We don't know. It could be some other fields, or it could be... -
bhobba reacted to PeterDonis's post in the thread I Prof Mike Wiest's proposed link between quantum and consciousness with
Like.
We won't know that for sure until we have a confirmed theory of quantum gravity. :wink: -
bhobba reacted to PeterDonis's post in the thread I Prof Mike Wiest's proposed link between quantum and consciousness with Like.
I don't think the research program referred to is to use quantum gravity to explain the brain specifically. I think it is to use quantum...

bhobba reacted to sbrothy's post in the thread I Prof Mike Wiest's proposed link between quantum and consciousness with
Agree.
On the face of it it almost sounds like it belongs in my "philosophy thread". Whenever I hear (read) "quantum" and "consciousness" in... -
bhobba reacted to pines-demon's post in the thread I Prof Mike Wiest's proposed link between quantum and consciousness with Like.
I can see why searching for quantum phenomena in the brain would be encouraged or at least interesting to look into it. But I cannot...

bhobba reacted to mitchell porter's post in the thread I Prof Mike Wiest's proposed link between quantum and consciousness with Like.
I worked for Hameroff for a year. I consider their theory a great contribution, because of how mind-opening it is. In my opinion, if...

As far as his claimed effect of microtubule-binding drugs on anesthesia, I have no idea. That sort of discussion belongs in the...

bhobba reacted to Borg's post in the thread Medical New Alzheimer's Treatment Clears Plaques From Brains of Mice Within Hours with Like.
Agree 100%. Even if it fast-tracked, it would be years before it becomes an available treatment. But, if it pans out, it would help...

bhobba reacted to Dale's post in the thread Medical New Alzheimer's Treatment Clears Plaques From Brains of Mice Within Hours with Like.
The paper does look very promising. However, it is good to be mindful of the huge pile of promising treatments that have died on this...

I've been reading a bunch of articles in this month's Scientific American on Alzheimer's and ran across this article in a web feed that...

bhobba reacted to Dale's post in the thread I The wave equation interpretation of special relativity with Like.
I would assume that every author who writes any explanation of length contraction considers their explanation to be a good one...

bhobba reacted to Dale's post in the thread I The wave equation interpretation of special relativity with Like.
One issue is that length contraction is not a shrinking, but a disagreement. In other words, length contraction occurs even if the...

@gentzen I have removed your rather lengthy complaint about moderation actions. Such complaints should be posted to the feedback forum...

bhobba reacted to WernerQH's post in the thread I Simulating physics: the current status of lattice field theories with Like.
Thanks for the pointers. I enjoy Tong's videos, but I find the particular emphasis on the Nielsen-Ninomiya theorem misplaced. I don't...
