a deep physics of finance
The global economic crisis that started in 2008 has summoned a deeper skepticism of the economic mainstream with its corresponding prognostications for endless growth and prosperity. Individuals are starting to question the need to play on the giant wheels of churning money that represented the retirement funds and investments of the past. While I’ve been [...]
the physics of the impossible inspire a sense of wonder
It is not a stretch to say that Michio Kaku is singularly responsible for my undergraduate major in Physics. Back in 2004, the shiny cover on the front of Parallel Worlds led me to promptly purchase the book as I walked into a bookstore in Concord, NC. Inside those pages were a rich description of [...]
can an experimenter determine his or her reality?
Unfortunately the claims of quantum mechanics get overblown by new age philosophers in the vein of “What the Bleep do we Know” and other such meaningless extrapolations of quantum physics, e.g. just because an electron takes every possible path to travel from point A to point B that doesn’t me we can. However, this doesn’t [...]
everything is a black hole?
I’ve been following Nassim Haramein’s Resonance Project as close a possible once I learned about his work on a unified field theory of physics. Interestingly though, it does not involve strings or anything like that. The model has specific and testable values.
can information tell us what is real?
A new physical principle: Information Causality. In recent years physicists have discovered an entire class of theories that do the same kind of thing. The question is which one do we choose? A few can be ruled out because they simplify various computational tasks in implausible ways. But the rest have seemed more or less [...]
