NEWTON’S ABSOLUTE TIME AND SPACE. “Newton would have been surprised at the modern quantum theory and at the dissolution of quanta into vibrations; Plato would have expected it. Physicists are now explaining these chemical facts by means of conceptions which Plato would have welcomed.” https://lnkd.in/g4ntepe View in LinkedIn

THE FINE PRINT IN WONDERLAND. “This simple idea is made more complicated by a few factors. First, one must take into account that some black holes may be slowly spinning when they form. The small spin measurements inferred from the BBH mergers observed by LIGO/Virgo could be due to either the superradiant growth of the boson cloud or an astrophysical distribution favoring small spins at the formation.” (BBH = binary black holes). https://lnkd.in/gnQbwGA View in LinkedIn

ALICE’S WONDERFUL LOGIC. “Supermassive black holes, such as M87, can be used to probe much lighter bosons, with μs ∼ 10(−21) eV. Roughly speaking, if a dearth of highly spinning black holes is observed for some range of black hole masses, that could be suggestive of the existence of ultralight bosons which have spun down the black holes.” https://lnkd.in/gnQbwGA View in LinkedIn

UNLIKELY RABBIT HOLE. “Accessing tens or hundreds of BBHs thus allows for statistical tests on the existence of ultralight bosons, in a boson mass range that depends on the mass range of the population of black holes being probed.” (BBH = binary black holes). Probing the massive for the existence of the minute. https://lnkd.in/gnQbwGA View in LinkedIn

BIOLOGICAL SYMBOLIC STRUCTURES. “If propositions are symbolic constructions which may exist in mind apart from language, this suggests that there must be symbolic systems in the brain, unrelated to human languages and developmentally prior to them. In other words, it’s possible that there are symbolic mechanisms of a biological nature which are fundamental to human activity.” (Charles Pinter, Mind and the Cosmic Order, a fabulous book). https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/978-3-030-50083-2.pdf View in LinkedIn
