    Undergrad Can Physics Disprove Horoscopes?

    these are true but let me fill in number 3 which makes the whole astrology business not so easy to ignore: 3) complex sociological and psychological conditioning factors cause an individual's personality traits and behaviors to converge on some of the general attributes of their astrological...

    Graduate New Warp Drive Paper: Read the Co-Authored Journal Article

    I have always had a concern with any FTL- not that it isn't possible- rather that whatever Quantum Gravity is it should preserve the Superposition Principle- that elements not causally connected to a physical system [such as outside the light cone] are not resolved into a specific state or...

    Graduate Has observing the universe sealed its fate?

    you can't seal the Universe's fate becasue it will have ALL POSSIBLE fates- which fate[s] you see is another matter entirely

    Graduate Discrete spacetime (Some contemplations of mine).

    well I suppose it isn't as cut-and-dried as I put it- perhaps locally observably discrete is better? systems are defined by their interactions- it is possible that scale could be an unbounded fractal distribution of interactions in some universes- but this would make any observable space...

    Graduate Discrete spacetime (Some contemplations of mine).

    it is an easy thing to prove that spacetime must be discrete- if it were continuous then every finite space would contain infinite information- and infinite entropy- and so infinite instability- all particles would immediately diverge in structure to become alien to each other and increasingly...

    Graduate Understanding TOE & QG: A Comparison for Physicists

    nope- it would just be a single theory to describe the sum of all emergent causality of this type of world any real TOE would IMO have to start from the "Monad" and describe how the phase space of universes is generated through it's self-interaction

    Theory of everything ? A joke

    when one looks at the algorithmic complexity of causal structures like the universe- one sees that complex relationships and states emerge non-deterministically- simple recursive processes form hierarchies of fractal structure- states with unpredictable complexity but yet with very isotropic and...

    Mathematica Tegmark's Mathematical Universe

    IMO the MUH is not nearly as important and vital as the CUH- this is a fundamental issue of the ontology of existence- what existence is and what can be I said in another thread: I am a proponent of something like Max Tegmark's http://arxiv.org/abs/0704.0646" which states that Reality is...

    Graduate Is Space-Time Finite or Infinite?

    the smallest unit idea is already firmly established by the concept of quanta and quantum observables- as well by causal set mathematics and computation: a non-discrete system has infinite information and thus infinite entropy and thus infinite instability NO causality- if you observe a causal...

    Graduate Can a Quantum Computer Solve NP-Hard Problems in Infinite Parallel Computing?

    this is an obvious possibility that comes from one of the oldest philosophical ideas in the history of rational thought: Pythagoras' Monad: that the universe and all it's complexity emerges from the self-interaction of one thing- this idea has been given physical power through the discovery of...

    Graduate Is the Many Minds Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics Widely Accepted?

    David Deutsch and the CQC recently put out a http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=paUniverse_sun14_parallel_universes&show_article=1&cat=0" claiming that he has shown mathematically that the "bush-like branching structure created by the universe splitting into parallel versions of itself "...

    Graduate Can a Quantum Computer Solve NP-Hard Problems in Infinite Parallel Computing?

    it is often said that a quantum computer calculates in polynomial time- but in actuality this is the limit of the 'bandwidth' of the observer-QC interface- you can extract the answer as fast as polynomial time [with an ultimate limit within the Beckenstein bound]- but the nature of a quantum...
