THIS DIFFICULT PAPER is a true masterpiece in putting mathematical concepts into common language, to the extent that this is possible. Bear with it and see the world through her eyes. https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/JHEP07(2019)140.pdf View in LinkedIn

ALL FROM HYDROGEN. “The B2FH paper was a landmark scientific paper on the origin of the chemical elements. The paper's title is Synthesis of the Elements in Stars, but it became known as B2FH from the initials of its authors: Margaret Burbidge, Geoffrey Burbidge, William A. Fowler, and Fred Hoyle. It was written from 1955 to 1956 at the University of Cambridge and Caltech, then published in Reviews of Modern Physics in 1957. Hoyle was the intellectual leader.” (Led by the very remarkable Fred Hoyle). https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/B2FH_paper View in LinkedIn

COMPLEX CONCEPT. “With a scenario building on information exchange, however, properties directly connected to information propagation (such as light) turn into defining qualities (in this case of space-time) rather than limitations on what is physical.” https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/JHEP07(2019)140.pdf View in LinkedIn

KICKING IT DOWN THE ROAD. “Therefore polarization concerns, relating to characteristics of information without impact on most particles, are not among the most pressing matters at hand, and are deferred until a later point.” https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/JHEP07(2019)140.pdf View in LinkedIn

GEOMETRY. “Lastly, the present analysis is of static relative geometries for simplicity, and generic relative geometries must include time dependence. With changes in geometry consistent with approximately flat space-time, causality should limit the propagation of the subsequent effects (classical or quantum).” https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/JHEP07(2019)140.pdf View in LinkedIn

OBSTRUCTIONS. “We now proceed with illustrating two types of relative geometries that are central to diffraction patterns, the case of a single/double slit and that of a sharp edge, to illustrate the concept of relative geometry.” https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/JHEP07(2019)140.pdf View in LinkedIn

STRUCTURE FROM INFORMATION. “It is classical in the same sense that general relativity is, with the difference that there is structure from information connectivity in the absence of curvature.” https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/JHEP07(2019)140.pdf View in LinkedIn

EVERYTHING COMPUTES. “The actual quantum constituents and their interactions, giving rise to the effective tension structure, is another matter entirely. In discussing relative geometry, we have merely assumed such a quantum level structure based on information exchange to exist, and restricted the discussion to a region and scale where it is valid to disregard them in every sense except for their average impact.” https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/JHEP07(2019)140.pdf View in LinkedIn

ONE CRITERION. “It is known that the usual values of the biological degree of order, or the quantity of information in alive organisms, do not provide to make difference between the alive and lifeless structures. If one uses the thermodynamics criteria, as it was pointed out by L. Blumenfeld, an alive organism has no difference compared with a piece of rock of the same weight.” https://lnkd.in/e5j8kGmx View in LinkedIn
