BELOW THE SURFACE. “Many physicists today consider electrons and quarks to be excitations of superstrings, which they hypothesize to be the most fundamental entities. But the vicissitudes of a century of revelations in physics warn us not to be dogmatic. There could be more levels of structure in our universe than are dreamt of in today's physics.” https://lnkd.in/draqjTW View in LinkedIn

THE KEY. “What are the ultimate degrees of freedom? Atoms, after all, are made of electrons and nuclei, nuclei are agglomerations of protons and neutrons, and those in turn are composed of quarks.” https://lnkd.in/draqjTW View in LinkedIn

LIMITS OF TINY. “As miniaturization brings closer the day when each atom will store one bit of information for us, the useful Shannon entropy of the state-of-the-art microchip will edge closer in magnitude to its material's thermodynamic entropy. When the two entropies are calculated for the same degrees of freedom, they are equal.” https://lnkd.in/draqjTW View in LinkedIn

THE NEW WORLD. “Space is different for different observers, time is different for different observers; spacetime is the same for all observers.” (The physicist, John Wheeler) https://lnkd.in/dJ6fFGM View in LinkedIn

COMPETING BODY PARTS. “Typically, the animal body is made up of anatomical units that can often evolve independently.” https://lnkd.in/gmREWTV View in LinkedIn

FALLING INTO THE BLACK HOLE. “Its energy (we count any mass as energy in accordance with Einstein's E = mc2) is permanently reflected in an increment in the black hole's mass.” https://lnkd.in/draqjTW View in LinkedIn

BOLTZMANN. “Thermodynamic entropy, in contrast, depends on the states of all the billions of atoms (and their roaming electrons) that make up each transistor.” https://lnkd.in/draqjTW View in LinkedIn

FORENSIC EVIDENCE. “It is impossible to determine what is inside a black hole. No detailed information can emerge across the horizon and escape into the outside world. In disappearing forever into a black hole, however, a piece of matter does leave some traces.” (Soft hair). https://lnkd.in/draqjTW View in LinkedIn
