A NEXUS OF CONCEPTS. “Properties of space must be part of the effective theory, and are indicators of the underlying structure as well. This is key in a scenario where the thermodynamic and information theoretic connections are tested in terms of a hydrodynamic emergence.” https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/JHEP07(2019)140.pdf View in LinkedIn

CAREER CHOICES. There are, presumably, some young enquiring minds who may stray onto these posts and be suddenly engaged enough to choose a career path in these esoteric fields. For sure that happened to me quite early in life when I read a book on circadian rhythms. It was quickly clear to me that the life sciences were of supreme interest. View in LinkedIn

FLATNESS. “Note that this type of effective theory must contain general relativity, but is not defined by curvature alone. Despite that the interesting physics of space-time often is defined as curvature, the governing properties of space-time also extend to how particles propagate through regions of (approximately) flat space-time.” https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/JHEP07(2019)140.pdf View in LinkedIn

THE HUNTING DOG. For me, researching these postings have been my Hunting Dog, a reason to go where I have no business going, and to continue the process of self-education driven by curiosity and wonder, leading more often than not to a state of awe. My motivation, I confess, is strictly selfish. View in LinkedIn

THE SEED. “The central question is of an information theoretical nature, and is inspired by the observed similarity and likely connection of space-time to thermodynamics and information theory.” https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/JHEP07(2019)140.pdf View in LinkedIn

NEW WORLDS. If you allow yourself to go down these dark and foreign rabbit holes, putting your feet in somebody else’s shoes and tasting original thought in the raw in bitesized pieces, you will quickly learn that completely new universes of ideas have opened up to you. View in LinkedIn

QUANTUM FLUCTUATIONS. “The building block under analysis is interactions by and between particles (quantum fluctuations), treated as events in the gravity theory directly.” https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/JHEP07(2019)140.pdf View in LinkedIn

GLIMPSES. The same gestalt trick applies to penetrating the silos of foreign language: even when the content is way, way beyond your pay-grade, as so often it is in these esoteric rabbit holes, let go, and just follow the gist, get the flow, immerse in the ambience. View in LinkedIn

Evodence of the sophisticated mathematical 3D mind of a humble mollusc. Never underestimate nature. View in LinkedIn

NEW REALITY. “One can no longer maintain the division between the observer and observed (which is implicit in the atomistic view that regards each of these as separate aggregates of atoms). Rather, both observer and observed are merging and interpenetrating aspects of one whole reality, which is indivisible and unanalysable.” (The singular David Bohm, one of the quantum physics greats). https://lnkd.in/eqCFha-P View in LinkedIn
