What Comes Next?
What Lies Beneath, by Eugene Samuel Likewise, if the very fabric of the Universe is in a quantum-critical state, then the “stuff” that underlies reality is totally irrelevant-it could be anything, says Laughlin. Even if the string theorists show that strings can give rise to the matter and natural laws we know, they won’t have…

Abraham Maslow and Peak Experience
“The worst disease afflicting human kind is hardening of the categories.” – Artist Bob Miller. Well I having been watching the topics ofCategorically Not site created. I see such fine visitations by those who have ventured into the science, asking for responsibility of mind in science, be given to society on a platform, as a…

Microstates and Gravity
Strominger: That was the problem we had to solve. In order to count microstates, you need a microscopic theory. Boltzmann had one–the theory of molecules. We needed a microscopic theory for black holes that had to have three characteristics: One, it had to include quantum mechanics. Two, it obviously had to include gravity, because black…

Left or Right Brain Doesn’t Matter, When your In The Dimenisons?
Einstein in response tyo Minkowski’s Space World: Since there exist in this four dimensional structure [space-time] no longer any sections which represent “now” objectively, the concepts of happening and becoming are indeed not completely suspended, but yet complicated. It appears therefore more natural to think of physical reality as a four dimensional existence, instead of,…

The Butterfly Effect
The “Butterfly Effect” is the propensity of a system to be sensitive to initial conditions.Such systems over time become unpredictable,this idea gave rise to the notion of a butterfly flapping it’s wings in one area of the world,causing a tornado or some such weather event to occur in another remote area of the world. Where…

Self-Organization of Matter
Everyone knows that human societies organize themselves. But it is also true that nature organizes itself, and that the principles by which it does this is what modern science, and especially modern physics, is all about. The purpose of my talk today is to explain this idea. So why is it so difficult to accept…
