I see that there has not been a thread abut CERN for some time. Is it "Turtles All the Way Down"? LHCb discovers three new exotic particles Once upon a time there were three elementary particles and it all made sense. Now: I wonder if the actual number of particles in this universe has a...

The Observer Effect The unobserved quantum realm doesn't care about time or distance so the order goes something like this: quantum field excitation of a new particle is about to happen it gets assigned a path in the quantum field if the path contains a spacetime enactor (a detector), it...

The Quantum Cosmology Inverse Theory Juan (Jay) Sadie Abstract This theory postulates an inverse way to look at what is large and what is small. When we talk about quantum mechanics we automatically presume that things are smaller at this level. What this theory proposes is that as we drill...

Anybody know anything about this guy, or his works? http://www.amazon.com/Trevelyan/e/B006X2QT54/ref=ntt_athr_dp_pel_pop_1 I've encountered him in other discussion fora, and he's handy with the references to contemporary physics journals -- mixed in with references to journals on ancient...

http://www.nature.com/news/quantum-theorem-shakes-foundations-1.9392 I would be interested in hearing JREF perspectives on this. Thanks in advance.

So very, very silly. :) Apparently the creator of this YouTube video had a friend who worked out that by using a particle detector or Geiger-counter to trigger a random character generator he could communicate directly with God. He admits that he never actually saw the device, and the friend...

The Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics and the many worlds interpretation both lack an adequate explanation of the collapse (or reduction) of the wave function. The transactional interpretation of quantum mechanics and Feynman wheeler absorber theory that it is based on has always...

I'd like to get people's opinion of Alexander Franklin Mayer's physics. He claims to have come up with a theory of quantum gravity. To me it seems similiar to Milo Wolff's work. His pages are here: http://jaypritzker.org -Dave

Quantum computers are going to be built soon. The moore's law will come to a end soon, and be replaced by quantu computers. However, these will never be able to think like humans. How would they play chess? tactically, they are really good. However in a static game computers could beat humans...

The Intermediate Absorber/Emitter Principle of Absorber Theory Ever since reading Feynman-Wheeler Absorber Theory and Jack Cramer's Transactional Interpretation of quantum mechanics, I could not help but think that there was a simple solution to the two major problems with absorber theory. The...

Okay, so my mom (a retired nurse) and I went out to The Olive Garden for lunch yesterday. My mother has diabetes and needs to be very careful when we eat restaurant food. She asked our waitress about substituting steamed veggies for the pasta and explained that she had diabetes. Our waitress...

I'm working on a research project about woos on the web (that I'm not ready to talk about yet), but I stumbled across this page that was just too good not to share. So many woo websites are unprofessional and ugly, its easy to discount them. This one surprised me with its nice design and...

I am looking for some interesting examples of co-opted scientific terminology in non-scientific names and claims. A few favorites include 'Fractal Healing', 'Quantum Wellness', and just about anything with the word 'Crystal' in it. Please include any portmanteau words of particular woo-age, like...
