AVOIDING 42. “In physics it is well-known that finding the right question is often at least 50% of the difficulty.” https://lnkd.in/eRb4tKmt View in LinkedIn

BIG RELIEF. “Since classical time could be an emergent effect, it should not be a prerequisite.” https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/JHEP07(2019)140.pdf View in LinkedIn

AVERAGES AT SCALE. “In this type of emergence, an intricate theory existing at a small scale gives rise to a simpler theory at a larger scale in that details are averaged out in the transition from small to large scales. The average is what is observed at the larger scale.” https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/JHEP07(2019)140.pdf View in LinkedIn

THE TELESCOPE. “Consider the existence of a concept at a large scale (temperature or time). Regard it as an average of a theory at a smaller scale. At the smaller scale, individual particles have a type of ‘energy’ (some intrinsic property) and a type of particle interaction that on average are compatible with the large scale concept and spatial gradients of it.” https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/JHEP07(2019)140.pdf View in LinkedIn

DISRUPTION. “However, at the small scale the energy of any given particle is not set by the averaged concept, nor is the result of an interaction uniquely determined by the gradient properties.” https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/JHEP07(2019)140.pdf View in LinkedIn

STATISTICAL AVERAGES. ‘Rather, from a large scale picture the energy value falls within some statistical distribution, as does the redistribution (of energy) from an interaction.” https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/JHEP07(2019)140.pdf View in LinkedIn

ANISOTROPIC. “In changing the viewpoint from the large to the small scale, the appearance of the dynamics changes drastically. There is no reference to the averages, instead the theory is that of the energy and the interactions redistributing it.” https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/JHEP07(2019)140.pdf View in LinkedIn
