Graduate The Simulation Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics
The Schrödinger Equation gives a superposition of states in which a 'particle' travels as a wave or particle. This is inconsistent with classic logic - how can it be both? In Simulation Hypothesis particle or photon travel resembles a render-on-demand type of scenario used in video production...- p764rds

Graduate Is Zeno's Paradox Relevant in Understanding Digital and Real-World Motion?
Both time *and* space must be digital. As regards 'in the limit' the area under a curve is a numerical issue. Area is the sum of small squares under a curve. Also note that Pi is infinite precision - its has to be because the area of a circle cannot be comprised of an infinite number of squares...- p764rds

Graduate What Are the Current Insights on Various Fusion Technologies Like Sonofusion?
I thought space would offer the advantage of zero gravity and many smaller lasers could be used in space. The present experiment at Jet uses quite an old design of laser. I am only guessing but nuclear fusion energy sources are so important I thought it worth a punt. Any offers, suggestions? I...- p764rds

Graduate What Are the Current Insights on Various Fusion Technologies Like Sonofusion?
What about using thousands of lasers in space orbit *all* directed on a tiny fusion target (pellet)? Surely laser focusing and power outputs and pulse widths are good enough nowadays to achieve fusion temperatures in a small space?- p764rds

Graduate Is Zeno's Paradox Relevant in Understanding Digital and Real-World Motion?
Here is an ultra short repeat of the Zeno Paradox, but please google it for a longer version with pictures etc: Think of a moving arrow. In an instant of time an arrow cannot move (bc its an *instant*). An arrow's movement is given by the sum of the movements at every instant. But since in...- p764rds

Graduate Isn't a Cosmos Made from Nothing Self-Consistent?
Godel's theorem is very beautiful but a Universe only needs enough mathematical rules to make it work. It does not need to 'know' all axioms. It only needs to *use* a limited quite simple set of axioms. A computer program works in this way. We do not need to understand all mathematics to... -
Graduate Isn't a Cosmos Made from Nothing Self-Consistent?
Yes approximate. But that is ok, we just set the precision to almost what we want. -
Graduate Isn't a Cosmos Made from Nothing Self-Consistent?
Suggest changing Hilbert space / operator style of analysis with numerical solutions. Computers could then do the donkey work on possible scenarios and tested against experiment. QFT would be better done that way. -
Graduate Isn't a Cosmos Made from Nothing Self-Consistent?
Regarding the English language. What is it? Is it an object of the universe? The English language has zero mass and zero spatial size. It is 0 inches big and has a mass of 0 grammes. Same for beauty, knowledge, and thinking. They are non spatial entities that rely on interpretation of states... -
Graduate Quantum fluctuations in a vacuum
Some physicists are giving up on physical particles and talking about quantum fluctuations in a vacuum. So, what exactly is a quantum fluctuation in a vacuum?- p764rds
