COLLECTIVE HIVE MIND. “The juxtaposition of insect and human collectives is instructive in showing up common elements in terms of large-scale structures and how the needs of the overall collective can dwarf those of the individual.” https://lnkd.in/e2ktPTqP View in LinkedIn

HEISENBERG. “In the quantum mechanical picture, the center of mass motion obeys the uncertainty principle, and thus is not well-defined anymore.” https://www.mdpi.com/2218-1997/7/6/164/htm View in LinkedIn

RIDDLED WITH FIELDS. “Like any other object, the center of mass of a system experiences quantum fluctuations.” https://www.mdpi.com/2218-1997/7/6/164/htm View in LinkedIn

UNCERTAINTY PRINCIPLE. “Similar to quantum mechanics, in the semi-classical quantum gravity picture, we should expect a(t) not to be well-defined.” (a(t) = the universe-scale factor). https://www.mdpi.com/2218-1997/7/6/164/htm View in LinkedIn

SPREADING UNCERTAINTY. “Instead, the universe-scale factor a(t) must experience quantum fluctuations, especially since there is no reason to expect that the quantum state of the universe within the scope of the quantum Friedmann model will always be a scale factor eigenstate.” https://www.mdpi.com/2218-1997/7/6/164/htm View in LinkedIn

CONFIRMATION. “Experimental evidence of relatively fast scale factor oscillations started to emerge very recently.” https://www.mdpi.com/2218-1997/7/6/164/htm View in LinkedIn

HYPOTHESIS. “In addition, it was demonstrated that fast scale factor oscillations modify the current sign and magnitude of the average cosmological force, thus making it one of the potential probable causes of the modification of Newtonian dynamics in galaxy-scale systems.” https://www.mdpi.com/2218-1997/7/6/164/htm View in LinkedIn

QED. “We will demonstrate that quantum fluctuations in the scale factor modify the Friedmann equations, giving rise to the late-time accelerated expansion of the universe, and they may also considerably modify the effective universe potential.” https://www.mdpi.com/2218-1997/7/6/164/htm View in LinkedIn
