    https://phet.colorado.edu/en/simulations/plinko-probability There is this randomness that seems to take hold over my thoughts regarding probability. The thoughts question how we can even know with certainty when something is going end in a result.  To know this before hand. In a way this is what drew me to outcomes  seen and expressed as scenarios given in…

  • Something, we may not know about the world?

    See: Music of the Quantum You combine theoretical positions with concrete ideas? If one has never encountered an anomaly in nature and thought okay this happened but with no scientific qualification what so ever then indeed it is not a measurable quality about dealing with reality.

  • A Yearning for Truth

    Beauty, Plato wrote, is not easy to define, but something that “slips through and evades us”. For this reason, many logic-oriented philosophical approaches tend to divorce and even oppose truth and beauty. “The question of truth”, wrote logician Gottlob Frege in one of his most influential works, “would cause us to abandon aesthetic delight for…

  • Economic Translation From Boards

    How many of you have joined your fellow brain jammers to seek a solution for a time for creative purpose? Dr:Lee Smolin’s article on arXiv. Having read it, I find it amusing that the language of economics can be recast in the language of physics. That said a lot of it is hard going, mathematically,…
