Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler." - Albert Einstein. Personal website of Jim Cross. All of us are a sum of many things - our genes, the way we were raised, the people we have met, the places we have been, and the unique experiences we have had.

A Measure of Faith. Investigating the collision of faith, science and reason. Consciousness and the Brain. December 24, 2014. Last month a commenter suggested. 8220;I would be interested to see you research and post on ‘How science addresses the subjective, in relation to consciousness and freewill'”. Furthermore, the comment offered a particular direction to consider, namely that science can. 8220;All this evidence points to an important conclusion, the third key ingredient in our budding science of con...

Interdependent Science: The Dress
http://interdependentscience.blogspot.com/2015/02/the-dress.html
Saturday, February 28, 2015. I have been having far too much fun with the wonderful color illusion of the dress that has been making the internet rounds lately! I copied the main colors of the stripes from the photograph, and tried to create two different contexts, one where the colors are easy to interpret as blue and black:. Another where it is easy to interpret them as white and gold:. It's a nice illustration of interdependence! Maybe it is too shocking to believe, but. Take a look, too, at:. Toward ...

Interdependent Science: April 2014
http://interdependentscience.blogspot.com/2014_04_01_archive.html
Friday, April 18, 2014. Thomas Piketty’s book Capital in the Twenty-First Century. Has been getting a lot of attention lately. I can easily to add it to the stack of books that I want to read. Actually reading it: maybe someday! Somehow a serious book like that takes me a month. There are just more books to read than months to read them in! Of course this is not so easy. First, one needs to design some alternative structure. Then there needs to be some sort of transition to take us from todayR...This ...

Interdependent Science: March 2014
http://interdependentscience.blogspot.com/2014_03_01_archive.html
Thursday, March 6, 2014. It is not utterly unreasonable to invent some scheme for answering such questions, but it will necessarily be an invention rather than a discovery. We might be able to gather enough data to measure with reasonable accuracy the median income of families 100 years ago and families today. Does the median family of today live better than the median family of 100 years ago? No amount of data gathering can answer that question! The peak of conventional petroleum production in 2005?

Interdependent Science: July 2014
http://interdependentscience.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html
Friday, July 18, 2014. My proposal here is to use graphs, of a particular class, to represent the state of a computation. Just like a Turing machine writes new symbols over old symbols on its tape in order to record the result of a computational step, the graph machine will modify a small part of the graph at each computational step. Second, it could provide a powerful processor architecture. New compilers for existing high level languages could insulate users from the change in architecture. Pro...This ...
