ROOTS. “Information theory is deeply rooted in probability theory, to the extent that the axiomatic bases of both are formally equivalent. Both approaches, in turn, are illuminated by the seminal work of E.T. Jaynes on the foundations of thermodynamics, which proposes that probability theory can be understood as an extension of Aristotelian logic that applies to scenarios of partial or incomplete knowledge.” https://lnkd.in/eFDvNHBt View in LinkedIn

SO ENDS this first of two weekends on the theme of emergence. Emergence is one of the most powerful new ideas in science, as well as one of the most mysterious. It is certain that we are a long way from grasping it fully at a mechanistic level. Thus we are reduced at this point to fully describing its manifestations. https://lnkd.in/eFDvNHBt View in LinkedIn

THE ONE REALITY. “The quantum theory of parallel universes is not the problem, it is the solution. It is not some troublesome, optional interpretation emerging from arcane theoretical considerations. It is the explanation, the only one that is tenable, of a remarkable and counter-intuitive reality." (By Professor David Deutsch, FRS, of Oxford University). https://lnkd.in/ePyNfgEh View in LinkedIn

GNARLY. “Thus dark matter (M) of the kind we have in MDM can behave as if there is no (dark) matter but MOND (which denies the existence of dark matter).” (MDM = Modified Dark Matter; MOND = Milgrom’s theory of modified Newtonian dynamics). https://www.mdpi.com/1099-4300/21/11/1035/htm View in LinkedIn

LETTER SOUP. “For this reason, initially we called our dark matter model “MONDian Dark Matter” with which Modified Dark Matter shares the acronym MDM.” https://www.mdpi.com/1099-4300/21/11/1035/htm View in LinkedIn

QED. “Quanta of MDM Obey Infinite Statistics.” (MDM = Modified Dark Matter). https://www.mdpi.com/1099-4300/21/11/1035/htm View in LinkedIn

TESTING THEORY. “Observational Tests of MDM at both the galactic and cluster scales. We have found the emergence of a critical acceleration parameter related to Λ in MDM and it is found in correlations between dark matter and baryonic matter in galaxy rotation curves.” (MDM = Modified Dark Matter). https://www.mdpi.com/1099-4300/21/11/1035/htm View in LinkedIn

CONFIRMATION. “We have found the emergence of a critical acceleration parameter related to Λ in MDM and it is found in correlations between dark matter and baryonic matter in galaxy rotation curves.” (MDM = Modified Dark Matter). https://www.mdpi.com/1099-4300/21/11/1035/htm View in LinkedIn

LUCK + REASON. “We can point out that MDM is more economical than CDM in fitting data at the galactic scale and it is superior to MOND at the cluster scale.) Logically (and happily as it indeed turns out to be the case), the same critical acceleration appears both in the galactic and cluster data fits based on MDM.” (MDM = Modified Dark Matter; MOND = Milgrom’s theory of modified Newtonian dynamics; ΛCDM or Lambda-CDM model = a version of the Big Bang cosmological model). https://www.mdpi.com/1099-4300/21/11/1035/htm View in LinkedIn
