Both are structural entities, the first for correcting scoliosis, the second for holding the roof onto Gaudi’s Sagrada Familia in Barcelona. View in LinkedIn

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

THE ISSUE OF MASS. “A similar problem affects the concept of mass, in the foundations of general relativity. Einstein originally took as his starting point the ‘general principle of relativity’, that is, the principle that the laws of physics are the same for all observers.” https://lnkd.in/e-atRRat View in LinkedIn

NEW SUBSTITUTION. “Everything that can be explained with spinors can be explained with spacetime instead. Thus it is not only desirable, but almost certainly essential, to abandon the concept of a spinor altogether.” https://lnkd.in/e-atRRat View in LinkedIn

THE VESSEL. “This means that ordinary space and time are sufficient to explain this initially surprising property of electrons, protons and neutrons.” https://lnkd.in/e-atRRat View in LinkedIn

CONTAINED SPIN. “That image provides a model for how electrons, protons and neutrons ‘spin’— something is ‘holding on’ to them. That something, I maintain, is the rest of the universe, and the way it is holding on is by the various forces of nature, most importantly electromagnetism, but also including gravity.” https://lnkd.in/e-atRRat View in LinkedIn
