This further implies that instead of accusing someone of stealing your socks, running the machine while empty for long periods of time will increase the chances of retrieval of most of the socks".

Extractions: Virgil and The Aeneid: In an age which already had a surfeit of great poets like Horace and Ovid, even they were eclipsed by Virgil, one of the finest poets produced by Western Civilisation. His crowning acheivment was the Aeneid which recounts the exploits of the Trojan, Aeneas from the sacking of Troy to the the founding of Rome. It is a tale of love, war and duty which transcends time and can touch us now as it did its contemporaries two thousand years ago and as it will our children two thousand years hence. Karl Popper - Philosopher: In our age of science it has taken a philosopher to analyse scientific method, to recognise its limitations and to question its assumptions. If this were not enough, to expand from science to the philosophy of government and to produce the most damning critique in the English Language of authoritarian rule, either of the right or the left is a tremendous achievement. I am going to tell you what nature behaves like. If you will admit that maybe she does behave like this, you will find her a delightful, entrancing thing. Do not keep saying "But how can it be like this?" you will get into a blind alley from which no one has yet escaped. nobody knows how it can be like this!

Extractions: Welcome to The Foundations of Quantum Theory Group at the Universtity of South Carolina. Our group has been at the forefront in addressing some the most fundamental questions in quantum mechanics. Topics for which the group has gained worldwide recognition include non-locality aspects such as the Aharonov-Bohm effect, geometric and topological aspects such as the Aharonov-Anandan phase, and new approaches to quantum measurement such as protective and weak measurements. These efforts have lead to directly testable new predictions and applications in diverse fields such as chemistry, condensed matter physics, elementary particle physics, astrophysics, and cosmology. Currently, the group is composed of three faculty members, one post-doctoral fellow, and one graduate student. The group also hosts an annual Summer Institute on the Foundations of Quantum Mechanics, which involves a small number of well-known figures in the field as well as local faculty and graduate students. Our web page contains information about our members, publication history, and research interests. For further information please feel free to contact us.

A Published Physics Parody Paper
Remarks on the quantum theory of the absolute zero of temperature. by G. Beck, H. Bethe, and W. Riezler. Let us consider a hexagonal crystal lattice.
http://www.math.tohoku.ac.jp/~kuroki/Sokal/misc/bethespoof.html

Extractions: This paper, ``Remarks on the quantum theory of the absolute zero of temperature,'' by G. Beck, H. Bethe, and W. Riezler, was published in 1931 in a well-known physics journal as a legitimate research article. (Note: Hans Bethe would go on to do much fundamental research and win a Nobel Prize.) To anyone with a rudimentary modern physics background it is nonsensical, and screamingly funny as a parody of certain kinds of ``numerology'' which are popular with pseudo-scientists and crackpots. (A non-physicist may not see why it's funny; I have written an explanation, below.) To its authors in 1931 it was presumably equally nonsensical on its face; solid state physics was less advanced in 1931, and undergoing some cataclysmic changes brought on by the quantum physics revolution. Nevertheless, there are enormous gaps in the logic which should have been obvious to physicists of that time. The obvious inference, and relevance to the Alan SokalSocial Text affair, is of course that the publication of one parody does not prove the bankruptcy of the field and that the language and methods of science are spoofable, as are the language and methods of critical theory. Furthermore, this paper helps to remind us that
A Quantum Theory Of Consciousness
Is Consciousness a Quantum Phenomenon? There is Psychology. 7, pp. 7383. Zohar D. (1990), The Quantum Self (Harper Collins London). Pessa
http://www.abrupt.org/LOGOS/consc.html

Extractions: There is now a more satisfactory range of ideas available [in the field of consciousness studies]... They involve mostly quantum objects called Bose-Einstein condensates (see Marshall , or Zohar ), which may be capable of forming ephemeral but extended structures in the brain ( Pessa ). Marshall's original idea (based on the work of ) was that the condensates which comprise the physical basis of mind, form from activity of vibrating molecules (dipoles) in nerve cell membranes. One of us ( Clarke ) has found theoretical evidence that the distribution of energy levels for such arrays of molecules prevents this happening in the way that Marshall first thought. However, the occurrence of similar condensates centring around the microtubules that are an important part of the structure of every cell, including nerve cells, remains a theoretical possibility ( del Giudice et al. Hameroff has pointed out that single-cell organisms such as 'paramecium' can perform quite complicated actions normally thought to need a brain. He suggests that their 'brain' is in their microtubules. Shape changes in the constituent proteins (tubulin) could subserve computational functions and would involve quantum phenomena of the sort envisaged by del Giudice et al.
PSYCHE: Volume 2

http://psyche.cs.monash.edu.au/psyche-index-v2.html

Extractions: Beyond the Doubting of a Shadow Roger Penrose Symposium on Implicit Learning and Memory Symposium on Quantum Theory and Consciousness Managing Editor: Scott Hagan Recently considerable controversy has been generated in cognitive science and the broader community of researchers interested in the relation of mind and brain around the question of whether or not it is necessary to invoke quantum theory in addressing consciousness from a scientific perspective. The issue is complicated by the diversity of perspectives on both sides and a dearth of clear and concise formulations of the arguments, accessible to a wide range of disciplines. In the coming months PSYCHE will offer a cross-section of the current thought on the subject with the aim of fostering open, interdisciplinary dialogue and encouraging informed debate on the role, if any, that quantum mechanics should play in a fully elaborated theory of consciousness.

Other characters Quantum theory, or quantum mechanics, theory which developed gradually over the first three decades of the 20th century and one of the major theories of modern physics. It accounts for the fact, that in the microscopic world, various physical phenomena exhibit discrete, so-called quantized states, rather than assuming a continuum of states as postulated by classical physics. The basic tenets of quantum theory are : 1. A particle can exhibit wave-like characteristics in certain physical situations. For each particle (mass point) there exists a generally complex wave function X(x,t) (see imaginary numbers ) of the spatial coordinate vector x and time t, which meets certain mathematical conditions. X(x,t) decribes the state of the particle. X(x,t) is related to the probability of finding the particle in a position x and at time t. A typical example is the following: we have to think of electron clouds around atoms rather than electron particles: we can only identify a certain probability that at any given time a given electron will be found in a certain region around the atomic nucleus; the electron cloud is thus a kind of probability distribution of finding an electron. Instead of using the position x of the particle, the momentum p of the particle can be used as that variable and is characterized by a wave function P(p,t).
Historical Notes: History [of Quantum Theory]
From Stephen Wolfram, A New Kind of Science Notes for Chapter 9 Fundamental Physics Section Quantum Phenomena Page 1056 History of quantum theory.
http://www.wolframscience.com/reference/notes/1056a

Extractions: History [of quantum theory]. In classical physics quantities like energy were always assumed to correspond to continuous variables. But in 1900 Max Planck noticed that fits to the measured spectrum of electromagnetic radiation produced by hot objects could be explained if there were discrete quanta of electromagnetic energy. And by 1910 work by Albert Einstein , notably on the photoelectric effect and on heat capacities of solids, had given evidence for discrete quanta of energy in both light and matter. In 1913 Niels Bohr then made the suggestion that the discrete spectrum of light emitted by hydrogen atoms could be explained as being produced by electrons making transitions between orbits with discrete quantized angular momenta. By 1920 ideas from celestial mechanics had been used to develop a formalism for quantized orbits which successfully explained various features of atoms and chemical elements. But it was not clear how to extend the formalism say to a problem like propagation of light through a crystal. In 1925, however, Werner Heisenberg suggested a new and more general formalism that became known as matrix mechanics. The original idea was to imagine describing the state of an atom in terms of an array of amplitudes for virtual oscillators with each possible frequency. Particular conditions amounting to quantization were then imposed on matrices of transitions between these, and the idea was introduced that only certain kinds of amplitude combinations could ever be observed. In 1923

Quantum Theory Challenge#1
quantum theory Challenge 1. Discussion The structure of our universe today is dependent upon the value of several universal constants
http://chem.lapeer.org/chem2docs/QuantChallenge1.html

Extractions: The structure of our universe today is dependent upon the value of several universal constants which cannot be predicted from theory but must be observed. For example, according to Stephen Hawking, an eminent physicist, if the charge on the electron had been different from a -1 stars would either not have been able to "burn" hydrogen or they would not have been able to explode and scatter heavier elements back into space to eventually form planets. Under either of these circumstances life as we know of it would be difficult or impossible.

http://www.geocities.com/capecanaveral/2382

Extractions: -But what about the hole that the "hole" left behind? Particle theory says that for every fermion type there is another fermion type that has exactly the same mass, and therefore no priori distinction between matter and anti-matter. Dirac's "Sea of Electrons" was dismissed as implausible for this reason, but the opposite value of all other charges (quantum numbers), indicates that the asymmetry between the two classes of particles is due to the fact that the anti-particle, (the "hole"), has -rho and negative mass, until it becomes a real particle. Abstract: The "Entropic Constant" produces the proverbial Theory of Everything once the Anthropic Principle is understood by way of the thermodynamic algorithm that gives rise to the history of man. The process exposes a grand scale cosmic coincidence which is otherwise known as "Punctuated Equilibria", that gets revealed at the universal level by way of the correct application of Dirac's Equation to this thermodynamic phenomenon as it applies to Particle Physics. The GUT then falls out of the ToE once the actual physics of " The -1th Law " of Thermodynamics is produced by this physics.

Unnatural Law Party Logo Natural Law Party FAQs, Hagelin quantum theory Holding on by a Superstring. from Nature, Vol. 359, Christopher Anderson, Sept.
http://www.trancenet.org/nlp/physics/superstring.shtml

Extractions: Hagelin, a quantum physicist trained at Harvard University, is running for U.S. president as the candidate of the Natural Law Party, whose motto is "bringing the light of science into politics." He and a supporting cast of local candidates will appear on the ballot in at least 35 states. (More than 300 people ran unsuccessfully under the party's banner in the British parliamentary election in June.) He is by all accounts a gifted scientist, well-known and respected by his colleagues. He is a co-developer of one of the better-accepted unified field theories, known as the flipped SU(5) model. In May, he received an award for young innovators named after Jack Kilby, inventor of the integrated circuit. And his political platform is eminently sensible: practise only those social and economic policies that are supported by scientific data.
