Well I found one of the articles over here:
http://urgrue.org/lib/mysterious-flow.html"
It seems complete from what I saw.
Here are a few select quotes from it:
From what I understand a.) there are loopholes in the experiment that may allow them to exist., b.) bell doesn't rule out non-local hidden variables, iirc, c.) I recently read an article about rotational non-symmetric math/algebra or something like that in a recent newscientist(from a few months...
Chaotic nonlinear complex systems are pretty much unpredictable to us even when they are of a completely deterministic nature. There are VIABLE hypothetical theories in development that put determinism back on the table by putting it at a more fundamental level than quantum phenomena. Yes...
Again the problem is, the caesium atom gets out of sync with other caesium atoms given differing velocities, in other words some will be running later or faster than others. IOW, some of the ticks will seem to be in the past others in the future relative to each other. And you can't say one's...
The whole problem with quantum immortality is that in the vast majority of scenarios with serious accidents you survive you end up disfigured, crippled, in pain, etc. not pleasant. you can also lose your memories along the way. Only a minuscule amount of the alternates do you come out truly...
Let me re-word my point. If the future is to be taken as no different than the past... Then minus our subjective experience, we should consider the present moment and upcoming moments the same as if they were in the past already. If the future equals the past and as such it does not change...
Well, yes there is. But the basis for taking it into account when dealing with our reality is quantum phenomena. If for example things like the decay of an atom are such that they will decay at a set specific moment and at no other time with 100% probability, then at least that type of event...
That simply it cannot change now. It is set in stone, some of the atoms decayed some didn't and that's it. There's no longer any probability that the outcome will be different, that a specific cat will die or live is set in stone.
Unlike with the future we can't say: Could it've been...
Well my point is that is simply not the case when it comes to events that have passed or lie in the past.
Look at the schrod cat, after the fact, after you open the box. The atom either decayed and killed it or it didn't, no more probabilities. Same with any experiment that does something...
From what I understand the future universe is qualitatively no different from the past universe.
When someone experiences the present does not necessarily correlate with when another person experiences the present(e.g. stationary individual vs near-light speed traveling individual... for that...
Well, when it comes to faster than light travel two things can happen in scifi. One ftl does not affect the clock's speed at all, 2 it affects it for some reason. Faster than light travel also causes people to go back in time in some scifi while in others it does not.
The slowing of the...
Hmmm, this brings forth the question of warp engines and why they're still considered hypothetically plausible.
gravity can't move/warp space faster than light, a region of space(say a black hole) can't move faster than light, so what's the deal here? What is the difference when it comes to...
Hmmm, but isn't the black hole a region of space? And space itself is believed by some to theoretically be able to go at faster than lightspeed(inflation, warp engines, etc). The mass is all in the singularity and the laws of physics don't apply there. So given that nothing with mass is...
I'm curious about that, I've heard during inflation it is believed that space expanded at faster than light speed, hypothetical warp engines if possible are believed to warp space to cause a region of space to move at faster than light speed. Yet I've also heard people believe, though it hasn't...
Can a black hole be accelerated to go faster than the speed of light?
I've heard that when dealing with the moments of inflation and also with relation to warp engines, space itself can move faster than light. I've also heard that a black hole is a region of space that can move.
So can it?
