Ruminations on Everything: Light tricks: The Delayed Choice Experiment
http://everythingrum.blogspot.com/2015/06/light-tricks-delayed-choice-experiment.html
Ruminations on everything from international affairs and politics to quantum physics, cosmology and consciousness. Thursday, June 4, 2015. Light tricks: The Delayed Choice Experiment. Reports a recent "experimental observation of simultaneous wave and particle behavior in a narrowband single-photon wave packet." This is also covered in a more accessible form in Science News. The experiment is a variation on the delayed choice model. Existence as mass affected by gravity. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Ruminations on Everything: May 2015
http://everythingrum.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html
Ruminations on everything from international affairs and politics to quantum physics, cosmology and consciousness. Monday, May 25, 2015. What does the Turing Test test? Saw the movie Ex Machina. The outside shots, filmed in Valldalen, Norway. Are are simply gorgeous. Good flick and provoked some ruminating (avoiding plot details). There seems no a priori. Reason to suppose that machine intelligence cannot reach the point of passing the Turing test. Or might there still be something missing? Smoked a ciga...

Ruminations on Everything: Quantum Consciousness
http://everythingrum.blogspot.com/2014/07/quantum-consciousness.html
Ruminations on everything from international affairs and politics to quantum physics, cosmology and consciousness. Monday, July 14, 2014. In 1929, Niels Bohr, in what he admitted. The researchers found that context is important and that quantum logic may better explain such behavior. We make decisions within a framework that allows possibilities that are logically the same to interfere with each other as quantum waves might. Uncertainty seems to leave us both particle and wave. Now, whether consciousness...

Ruminations on Everything: Gravity, Mass and Time II

Ruminations on everything from international affairs and politics to quantum physics, cosmology and consciousness. Saturday, June 20, 2015. Gravity, Mass and Time II. I recently noted that mass, gravity and time. 8221; over time). The mass and energy falling into the singularity is converted into the very warping of space that is the black hole. How long does it take to fall from the event horizon into the singularity? Has time there stopped or has it become instantaneous? Seconds. Or perhaps we migh...

Ruminations on Everything: Moments in Time and Consciousness
http://everythingrum.blogspot.com/2013/09/moments-in-time-and-consciousness.html
Ruminations on everything from international affairs and politics to quantum physics, cosmology and consciousness. Sunday, September 15, 2013. Moments in Time and Consciousness. Attended the symphony today. Instrumental music does not hold my attention as well as a play - especially Shakespeare - would. I enjoyed the program but without words (lyrics), it didn't pin down my thoughts. So they just wandered. September 16, 2013 at 4:05 PM. September 17, 2013 at 7:34 AM.

Ruminations on Everything: June 2015

Ruminations on everything from international affairs and politics to quantum physics, cosmology and consciousness. Saturday, June 27, 2015. Decoherence, or If a Tree Falls In the Forest? One of the basic unsettled questions of quantum physics is why we don't see quantum superposition in everyday objects. If everything were to remain in quantum superposition in the macro-world we inhabit, Schrödinger's cat. And we see either waves or particles, i.e., individual, unconnected, single state things. The unobs...

Ruminations on everything from international affairs and politics to quantum physics, cosmology and consciousness. Wednesday, December 31, 2014. An Introduction to a Still Unwritten Book. In the beginning was the void. But it was not empty. Something,someone. Was there whether from past, future or beyond time and space. It (we? Learned, knew, decreed the rules. Why that act of creation? From love, necessity, entertainment or simply the need to be? Follow St. Thomas' finger. PhD in political theory from U...
