EINSTEIN’S FUDGE FACTOR. “Alternatively one can interpret these long-wavelength quanta as constituents of dark energy, contributing a more or less uniformly distributed cosmic energy density and hence acting as a dynamical effective cosmological constant.” https://www.mdpi.com/1099-4300/21/11/1035/htm View in LinkedIn

MACRO = MICRO. “Thus intriguingly, the large-scale physics of dark energy is intimately connected to the small-scale physics of spacetime foam.” https://www.mdpi.com/1099-4300/21/11/1035/htm View in LinkedIn

LONG WAVELENGTH QUANTA. “This scenario is very similar to that of quintessence, but it has its origin in local small scale physics—specifically, the holographic spacetime foam.” https://www.mdpi.com/1099-4300/21/11/1035/htm View in LinkedIn

STONE VS WOOD. “Experienced stone carvers say they can listen to the block of stone and feel when it will split through the strain on the chisel, but wood carvers describe a still more active dialogue with their material. They have to learn the character of each type of wood and take account of its ‘likes’ and ‘dislikes’ in the way that it is worked.” https://lnkd.in/ekm789He View in LinkedIn

NEW LAWS OF PHYSICS? “While Newton’s laws have been tested to high accuracy on terrestrial scales, the laws of gravity could, in principle, be different on astronomical/cosmological scales.” https://lnkd.in/e6ifiQMn View in LinkedIn

LEAD AUTHOR, Pedro A.M. Mediano, Cambridge University. “Coffee-powered beast-machine? Consciousness and Cognition Lab. Partial information decomposition. Can the whole be more than the sum of its parts? Most definitely. Information theory in neuroscience? Do neurons talk if no one’s there to hear them?” https://lnkd.in/e2YDkys8 View in LinkedIn

THE MAIN PAPER. “Greater than the parts: A review of the information decomposition approach to causal emergence,” By Pedro A.M. Mediano, et al. (Universities of Cambridge, London, Sussex, Tokyo, Toronto and San Francisco). https://lnkd.in/eFDvNHBt View in LinkedIn
