Philosophy Wire: Changing everything. In an ever stable world.

Philosophy Wire by Spiros Kakos [2017-08-24]: A Polish-British team of physicists has constructed and tested a compact, efficient converter capable of modifying the quantum properties of individual photons, while retaining superposition. [1] A particle being everything and everywhere at the same time. A not changing entity. Only because it has changed into everything already. The cosmos in miniature. See this tiny speck of dust. It is here. And there. Humans. Rivers. Water on a beach. Stars. Everything together. Everywhere. Inside the silence of creation. Screaming...

Quantum irrationality

Philosophy Wire by Spiros Kakos [2016-09-03]: Human intuition seems to help humans beat computers in quantum-inspired games. [1] In a world where everything can be anything, in a cosmos without time, causality or logic, in the quantum world, being irrational is the only way to be rational.

Philosophy Wire by Spiros Kakos [2013-08-05]: Photosynthesis seems to be taking advantage of the quantum phenomenon of superposition, which we thought can only be maninted for a long time in the controlled conditions of a lab. [1, 2, 3, 4] Quantum coherence seems to be able to survive out in the... wild! Everything is possible... Nothing changes... The whole world is One...

Philosophy Wire: Uncertainty Principle, Certainty Principle

Philosophy Wire by Spiros Kakos [2013-03-04]: Direct measurements of the wavefunction challenge the infamous Uncertainty Principle. [1] I am really tired of all those "barriers" on which we base our knowledge for a century or so and then something comes up to bring them down. Why not say from the beginning that no barriers exist at all? Would that be a scientifically valid hypothesis (axiom-principle) ?

Philosophy Wire: Fantasy, reality, quantum mechanics

Philosophy Wire by Spiros Kakos [2012-12-27]:

Quantum mechanics (QM) experiments (related to Bell’s inequality) have shown that reality does NOT exist when we are not observing it. [1] This is amazing. Although at this point some objections still arise concerning this conclusion, it is really important to know that science has began thinking about concepts that have for a long time been a matter of ridicule in mainstream science communities.

Philosophy Wire: Light from nothing, stupidity from something

Philosophy Wire by Spiros Kakos [2011-11-22]: Scientists managed to show with an elaborate experiment that photons can be created from nothing (via quantum fluctuations in the void) [source: web news]. However everything is a matter of definition and the creation of something from “nothing” could simply prove one thing: that the “nothing” was something more than “nothing” after all…
