APPLICATIONS. “Quantum entanglement is crucial to our understanding of quantum theory, and it has many interesting applications in various novel technologies.” https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1140/epjc/s10052-018-6433-5.pdf View in LinkedIn

BY EXTENSION. “We are concerned with yet another effect associated with quantum fluctuations of spacetime, that is, quantum entanglement generation by quantum fluctuations of spacetime.” https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1140/epjc/s10052-018-6433-5.pdf View in LinkedIn

QUANTUM GRAVITY. “Naturally, one may wonder what happens if gravitational waves are quantized. One of the consequences, if gravity is quantized, is the quantum fluctuations of spacetime itself.” https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1140/epjc/s10052-018-6433-5.pdf View in LinkedIn

CONFIRMATION. “Recently, gravitational wave signals from black hole merging systems have been directly detected, and this confirms the prediction based on Einstein’s general relativity over a hundred years ago.” https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1140/epjc/s10052-018-6433-5.pdf View in LinkedIn

CONJECTURE. “There should be quantum vacuum fluctuations of spacetime itself, if we accept that the basic quantum principles we are already familiar with apply as well to a quantum theory of gravity.” https://lnkd.in/eQiUdtDc View in LinkedIn

INFORMATION CORE. “Quantum fluctuations of physical observables, which commonly arise from quantum nature of the system, play a crucial role because they give out information about phase transitions, and large scale structure formation as well as phenomena which are dissipative in nature.” https://lnkd.in/eMV6hEup View in LinkedIn

MATERIAL DRIVEN. “As in Nature, when creation begins with matter, morphogenesis, or the generation of form, is a process engendered by the physical forces of Nature. Similarly, in the framework of this essay, Material is not considered a subordinate attribute of form, but rather its progenitor.” (The remarkable Professor Neri Oxman, MIT Media Lab). https://lnkd.in/ezq26y33 View in LinkedIn

SO ENDS this second weekend on the phenomenon of emergence. “The central task of theoretical physics in our time is no longer to write down the ultimate equations, but rather to catalogue and understand emergent behavior in its many guises, including potentially life itself. We call this physics of the next [21st] century the study of complex adaptive matter.” (David Pines, Santa Fe Institute). https://medium.com/sfi-30-foundations-frontiers/emergence-a-unifying-theme-for-21st-century-science-4324ac0f951e#:~:text=Examples%20of%20emergent%20behavior%20are,and%20planets%2C%20the%20evolution%20of View in LinkedIn

ABOMINABLE MYSTERY. “Although strong emergence is logically possible, it is uncomfortably like magic. Such causal powers would be quite unlike anything within our scientific ken. This not only indicates how they will discomfort reasonable forms of materialism. Their mysteriousness will only heighten the traditional worry that emergence entails illegitimately getting something from nothing.” (Mark A. Bedau). https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emergence View in LinkedIn
