THE FULCHRUM. “They demonstrate the conceptual interconnections of fundamental physics which makes crucial (explicit or implicit) use of the concept of entropy and the dynamics of gravitation.” https://www.mdpi.com/1099-4300/21/11/1035/htm View in LinkedIn

CONNECTED IDEAS. “In this context, probability distributions are to be understood as epistemic statements used to represent states of limited knowledge, and Shannon’s entropy corresponds to a fundamental measure of uncertainty.” https://lnkd.in/eFDvNHBt View in LinkedIn

UNITY OF NATURE. “Lastly we show that turbulence is intimately related to properties of spacetime foam in the gravitational context. These results spanning black holes, computers, space-time foam, dark energy, dark matter and turbulence are testimony to the unity of nature.” (Remarkable). https://www.mdpi.com/1099-4300/21/11/1035/htm View in LinkedIn

FRAGMENT FROM NATURE continues from last weekend and concludes this weekend on the theme of emergence. This concept has far-reaching consequence in science and if finally understood, will undoubtedly usher in a sea-change in a variety of concepts about how things are connected. https://lnkd.in/eFDvNHBt View in LinkedIn

TYING IT TOGETHER. “Then we show that gravitational thermodynamics/ entropic gravity arguments, generalized to a spacetime (like ours) with dark energy imitating a (positive) cosmological constant, lead to a dark matter model which relates dark energy, dark matter, and ordinary (baryonic) matter and is remarkably consistent with observations at both the galactic and cluster scales.” https://www.mdpi.com/1099-4300/21/11/1035/htm View in LinkedIn

AQUEOUS RECRYSTALLIZATION. “Clay minerals are characterized by tetrahedral sheets occupied by Si and subordinately Al and Fe3+. These sheets join together along the surfaces with different combinations, giving rise to different layers, which in turn join to form different clay minerals. In the various clay minerals, the layers have different layer charges as a function of the substitution of higher charge cations with cations with lower charges (e.g., replacement of Si4+ with Al3+ in tetrahedral sheets).” https://lnkd.in/gZNkNQEB View in LinkedIn

The force that through the green fuse drives the flower" "Drives my green age; that blasts the roots of trees" "Is my destroyer." "And I am dumb to tell the crooked rose" "My youth is bent by the same wintry fever." " https://lnkd.in/dEkmDe2 View in LinkedIn

QUAINT MYTH. “There are there­fore, powerful prima facie reasons for doubting that language is essential for conscious experience, and in consequence for wondering whether the significance of language for cognitive functions has been misestimated.” (Excellent article). https://lnkd.in/epRnFgUf View in LinkedIn

BRAIN SYSTEM. “Remarkably, analyses of human fMRI data have identified a gradient with redundancy-dominated sensory and motor regions at one end, and synergy-dominated association cortices dedicated to multimodal integration and high-order cognition at the other end.” (fMRI = functional MRI). https://lnkd.in/eFDvNHBt View in LinkedIn
