Matterwave replied to the thread Graduate Penrose-Dosi Model.Is it a personal theory or are you just sharing your thoughts on what the Penrose-Diosi model says? Isn't this contradictory? Or are... -
Matterwave replied to the thread Undergrad Newton's bucket experiment.I always find it hard to follow discussion and arguments related to Mach due to the vagueness with which "Mach's principle" is stated...

Before release there is no relative rotation between the bucket and the water, and the water is flat. Shortly after release there is...

Like.
Regardless of whether or not the entire conscious can be measured, it is only the measurable portion that needs to be predicted by a... -
Matterwave replied to the thread Undergrad Can thermodynamics macrostates hide relevant quantum information ?.I'm not sure if this answers your question, but I had some more thoughts. When we discuss the "fundamental physics" like Classical...

I suspect the motivation for the narrowing down of the definition of "consciousness" is the urge to claim that it can be fully...

Matterwave replied to the thread How do atoms build thoughts and emotions?.😂 Is this conversation pushing you towards Solipsism? But I suspect (though I can not prove) the problem is definitional. It seems...

Haha.
Statements like the above just confirm the doubt I expressed initially: -

Hysteresis is an interesting suggestion too, so I’ll definitely look into it. Thanks again for pointing me in that direction!

Matterwave replied to the thread Undergrad Can thermodynamics macrostates hide relevant quantum information ?.Thermodynamics might have indeed been a red herring. It seems your curiosity is more about "micro" vs "macro" descriptions or...

They are never enough to predict with certainty how the system will evolve. How accurate the predictions we can make from them are will...

Matterwave replied to the thread Undergrad Can thermodynamics macrostates hide relevant quantum information ?.Are you asking about the domain of validity of thermodynamics? I still have a hard time parsing your question into a concrete one.

The answer to this is easy: "of course". The whole point of thermodynamics, and more generally of statistical mechanics, is to not try...
