EVERYTHING COMPUTES. “The Californian philosopher John Searle argues that even your garden wall is a conventional computer; and other philosophers maintain that a simple rock standing motionless on a beach is a (conventional) computer.” https://lnkd.in/eepengBW View in LinkedIn

SO ENDS this first of two weekends on a new unifying theory of physics, devised by a respected mathematician who has nonconformist views, but is deeply versed in modern quantum physics. Cross-fertilization of disciplines helps short-circuit conformist Group Think as it relates to Dogmas, which really have no place in a Thomas Kuhn world of evolving science. https://lnkd.in/e-atRRat View in LinkedIn

COSMIC UNCERTAINTY. “But it is known that the relative strengths of electromagnetism and the nuclear forces are not always the same, so why should gravity be any different? Cosmological evidence from the shapes and sizes of galaxies also casts doubt on the equivalence principle on very large scales.” https://lnkd.in/e-atRRat View in LinkedIn

TERRESTRIAL VALIDATION. “The equivalence principle therefore states that the relative strength of gravity and electromagnetic forces is always the same. This principle has been tested to high accuracy both on the Earth and in satellites orbiting the Earth, and no discrepancy has yet been found.” https://lnkd.in/e-atRRat View in LinkedIn

EQUIVALENCE. “But in the end his theory of general relativity was based instead on the ‘equivalence principle’, that gravitational mass and inertial mass are the same thing.” https://lnkd.in/e-atRRat View in LinkedIn

DIFFERENT PROBABILITIES. “We conclude that the “particles” constituting dark energy obey infinite statistics, rather than the familiar Fermi or Bose statistics.” https://lnkd.in/eA85pA5X View in LinkedIn

INEVITABLE Q. “How do these long-wavelength quanta differ from ordinary particles?” https://lnkd.in/eA85pA5X View in LinkedIn

RIVERS AND RIPPLES. “A physical system is described by an operator. The eigenvalue of the operator contains only partial information of the system. This is the reason why one cannot hear the shape of a drum. Nevertheless, the information embedded in eigenvalues, though partial, is of special importance.” https://lnkd.in/gMu-_FxR View in LinkedIn
