CAREER CHOICES. There are, presumably, some young enquiring minds who may stray onto these posts and be suddenly engaged enough to choose a career path in these esoteric fields. For sure that happened to me quite early in life when I read a book on circadian rhythms. It was quickly clear to me that the life sciences were of supreme interest. View in LinkedIn

FLATNESS. “Note that this type of effective theory must contain general relativity, but is not defined by curvature alone. Despite that the interesting physics of space-time often is defined as curvature, the governing properties of space-time also extend to how particles propagate through regions of (approximately) flat space-time.” https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/JHEP07(2019)140.pdf View in LinkedIn

THE HUNTING DOG. For me, researching these postings have been my Hunting Dog, a reason to go where I have no business going, and to continue the process of self-education driven by curiosity and wonder, leading more often than not to a state of awe. My motivation, I confess, is strictly selfish. View in LinkedIn

THE SEED. “The central question is of an information theoretical nature, and is inspired by the observed similarity and likely connection of space-time to thermodynamics and information theory.” https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/JHEP07(2019)140.pdf View in LinkedIn

NEW WORLDS. If you allow yourself to go down these dark and foreign rabbit holes, putting your feet in somebody else’s shoes and tasting original thought in the raw in bitesized pieces, you will quickly learn that completely new universes of ideas have opened up to you. View in LinkedIn

DRIVING ANALOGY. “We use the frequency notation only to relate the interactions to the classical properties. In the effective theory, the details of how effective coefficients arise are irrelevant: their existence and value is what is observed. This is typical of hydrodynamic scenarios.” https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/JHEP07(2019)140.pdf View in LinkedIn

NEW WORLD ORDER. “The universe is fluid and comprehensive. The matter is equivalent to energy, gravity to acceleration, space to time. Everything is a unified field.” (A lovely essay). https://lnkd.in/ePCcTqZi View in LinkedIn

PROBABILITY CURVES. “In this sense, the space-time-related qualities of (ft,f/c) do not define the interactions, instead they appear in an average of the interaction processes, as effective coefficients arising from a sublevel theory.” https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/JHEP07(2019)140.pdf View in LinkedIn

EMERGENT EVENTS. “In an emergent scenario, one has the option of a breakdown of the dual process, where one can consider the scenario where the existence of multiple, ordered events on average gives the effect of time and space as we know it from classical physics.” https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/JHEP07(2019)140.pdf View in LinkedIn
