TEMPERATURE ANALOGY. “From this angle, (ft,f/c) connect to how space and time appear due to the interactions, contrary to the standard notion that space-time by its existence defines how events in it occur.” https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/JHEP07(2019)140.pdf View in LinkedIn

UNDERPINNINGS. “Recall the analogy with temperature…and the scenario where individual interactions in the form of events (with individual fluctuations) create an average interconnecting structure with averaged agreed upon individual events and interconnecting events, which in the effective theory translate into.” https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/JHEP07(2019)140.pdf View in LinkedIn

FRAGMENT FROM NATURE for this and next weekend discusses how biominerals in nature such as iridescent shell nacre, sea urchin spines, and corals have physical properties that far exceed their constituent parts, and the whole is greater than the sum of the parts, by an emergent process. It turns out most of these are ‘mesocrystals’, which are known to chemists, and have fascinating properties. https://lnkd.in/eNACsghr View in LinkedIn

A. Szent-György wrote about the mystery of life: “My own scientific career was a descent from higher to lower dimension, led by a desire to understand life. I went from animals to cells, from cells to bacteria, from bacteria to molecules. … On my way life ran out between my fingers”. https://lnkd.in/eEgsHmQf View in LinkedIn

“THE SCALE of the geometry (introduced by various obstacles) as well as any other relevant physics is assumed to be such that no quantum effects of fluctuations belonging to the space-time structure are relevant to leading order.” https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/JHEP07(2019)140.pdf View in LinkedIn

SETTING THE STAGE. “In setting up a first, crude model of relative geometry, suitable for a comparison with light diffraction, it is reasonable to restrict to static, flat space-time with geometry obstructing information flow surrounded by vacuum. dt is constant.” https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/JHEP07(2019)140.pdf View in LinkedIn

THE FOCUS. “Flat space-time effects.” https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/JHEP07(2019)140.pdf View in LinkedIn

WILD IDEA. “The additional scale occurs since the quantum space-time theory would need to equilibrate in terms of information exchange, connected to c, in a feedback system.” https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/JHEP07(2019)140.pdf View in LinkedIn

EMERGENT GEOMETRY. The relative geometry “might possibly be related to the model of geometry emerging from quantum bits.” https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/JHEP07(2019)140.pdf View in LinkedIn
