Optimism and pessimism seem complementary to me. Part of optimism is recognizing problems and facing them without shrinking away from the occasionally...

Why is the fine structure constant a combo of those three quantities you might inquire? Electric charge, as I postulated in my thread The Double-slit ...

An amended version of the OP's proof using the correct Planck's constant units. This also yields wt=d/f. 1. The units of Planck's constant are joule s...

That's what I'm hoping for. Gotta get all my variables accurately correlated, this is a challenge. Its all derived from deep thinking about books by r...
March 12, 2021 at 23:09
To expand upon this for those whom it may concern: According to this equation, wt=d/f, time is completely unlike a constant, but rather a conditional ...

Uniting spirituality, psychology and physics, how can your interest flag?
March 12, 2021 at 01:39
Try reading three threads I posted awhile back at this site to get a feel for the concepts, which seem to be unprecedented: Qualia and Quantum Mechani...

Subatomic phenomena of the quantum scale as traditionally construed might behave so differently than objects at the classical scale because of an expo...
March 12, 2021 at 01:03
I think my equation might be getting at something relatively fundamental though, at least in the context of current physics. Does wt=d/f imply that ti...

I had a feeling you guys were going in circles at this point lol
March 10, 2021 at 17:47
I wonder if physicists and mathematicians popularize their ideas just to set the public up for a mocking lol You dismiss my analysis just because I di...

I think this might be a flawed assumption. It is completely possible that the first carbon residues were not the protocells which gave rise to the Cam...

True, we have not generated what is obviously living from what is indisputably nonliving in the lab, but one would expect it difficult to extrapolate ...
March 09, 2021 at 20:29
What's conceptually interesting to me about the wt=d/f formula is that the perceptual and structural unity of intuitive spatiotemporality is completel...
March 09, 2021 at 13:58
Snarkiness as anticipated lol I corrected the Planck's constant value, yielding d(squared)*m/t. It still works: d=w, d=acceleration*time/f. The assump...
March 08, 2021 at 23:21
Whoops!, substitute via distance rather than time and you get the same final equation: wt=d/f. I got the units of Planck's constant incorrect - m(squa...

I've got the science and philosophy foundation from college, with a bunch of additional reading on the subject. I'm not a professor if that's what you...

The source is me! lol If you want to get the whole deal, check out my blog at philosophyofhumanism.com, particularly the posts Quantum Biology, The Or...

If an evolutionary account of life's origins is valid, this is what it has to account for and what chemistry experiments have to generate in some form...
March 07, 2021 at 18:38
That information is drawn from a great book called Life on the Edge: The Coming of Age of Quantum Biology by Johnjoe McFadden. It talks about much of ...

This resolves the neural binding problem: In exactly what way consciousness emerged via evolution is a mystery, but we can be fairly certain about wha...
March 05, 2021 at 19:12
The rivalry between geocentrism and heliocentrism is a perfect example of this. Heliocentric models existed pre-Aristotle, but it seemed more parsimon...
March 04, 2021 at 14:34
For me, belief or lack of belief has never been self-deception so much as involuntary ignorance. I knew absolutely nothing about history when I was a ...
March 04, 2021 at 12:51
What about additive superposition amongst entangled wavicles or "quantum resonance" seems like pseudoscience? Its a testable hypothesis regarding a po...
March 03, 2021 at 00:54
There is no reason to be happy lol
March 02, 2021 at 17:23
Well, since you brought up consciousness, my favorite topic... My hypothesis is that qualia are the product of additive superposition amongst entangle...

Cell division is chemically simple and automatic. In experiments, phospholipid bilayers pinch in two when they contain enough molecules, without any e...

Why can't the flatness of the universe simply be a consequence of its rotation? When we toss pizza dough it flattens. The planets vertically compress ...

Some fun facts along these lines... Despite centrality of sunlight-requiring photosynthesis to the biosphere, it was found that prokaryotic organisms ...

In my assessment, it would make the measurement of those physical processes in terms of current quantum mechanics extremely probabilistic, but the pro...
February 22, 2021 at 20:11
It is impossible to tell at this stage of science if existence is deterministic because perturbing a system in order to measure it changes the state o...
February 22, 2021 at 19:58
The way I currently see it, empty space doesn't exist, only fields consisting in amorphous, fluctuating concentrations that seem to be quantized in va...

Whoa, that idea is bizarre! I'm not extremely familiar with the details of relativity theory, but I've read that Earth experiences incoming gravitatio...
February 14, 2021 at 03:11
It has occurred to me and additional posters on this forum that dark energy could be a sort of quintessence, with properties such as nondilution upon ...
February 14, 2021 at 02:32
To clarify this point, I think it might be flawed to think of aether as a completely separate medium through which wavicles travel, for this constitut...
February 13, 2021 at 20:55
According to my limited knowledge at this stage, the quantum wave function is a probabilistic approximation to the relationship between initial condit...

These aren't full-fledged ideas, just me awkwardly riffing around on a somewhat goofy morning (six cups of coffee wAAAAAAAAAA), so your insights are m...

By charge distribution I mean as in a thunderstorm, where the cloud and the ground are positively charged with negatively charged atmosphere between t...

The way I see it, elements of qualitative experience that philosophers call "qualia", however you approach them, are an indisputable fact of existence...

Quantum mechanics is a more fundamental theory of reality than classical mechanics' absolute determinism, and might explain the root of all feelings, ...

In the absence of obvious proof that the electron is diffracting through multiple slits simultaneously, I think my alternative explanation for the mea...
February 08, 2021 at 12:54
How can a diffuse wave interfere with itself to form a single particle on the screen? It doesn't make any sense. What is the direct evidence of diffra...
February 08, 2021 at 12:12
Is an "interference fringe" the interference pattern on the absorber or something else? So an electron beam interferes with itself as it travels throu...
February 08, 2021 at 11:57
Sorry this nonexpert is getting so nitpicky, but I'm curious. Does observable evidence exist that the particle travels through both slits during a sin...

What is the evidence that a single emitted electron is a wave spanning multiple slits, and does this evidence obtain for molecules also? When the wavi...

I think I have a comprehensive theory of how human language was naturally selected, but rather than try to summarize in a brief post, I'll provide lin...
February 07, 2021 at 22:11
I'm not aware of any direct evidence that the particle travels through both slits simultaneously as a wave, then recombines into a particle. It might ...
February 07, 2021 at 20:29
That interpretation doesn't make sense to me. It fails to account for why a detector at one of the double slits only registers a particle half the tim...
