Natural Light: a Naturalness Bias in Lighting
A naturalness bias has been defined as ‘a preference for things perceived as natural’. This paper makes a first attempt at answering the question whether a naturalness bias exist in the context of lighting, and whether people’s sense of personal connection to nature and their beliefs towards different types of lighting affect its occurrence. This exploratory paper uses four studies to evaluate ...
متن کاملModel for a light Z' boson.
A model of a light Z ′ boson is constructed and phenomenological bounds are derived. This Z ′ boson arises from a very simple extension to the Standard Model, and it is constrained to be light because the vacuum expectation values which generate its mass also break the electroweak gauge group. It is difficult to detect experimentally because it couples exclusively or primarily (depending on sym...
متن کاملSparseness, Immanence, and Naturalness
In the past fifteen years or so there has been a lot of attention paid to theories of “sparse” universals, particularly because of the work of D. M. Armstrong. These theories are of particular interest to those of us concerned with the distinction between natural and non-natural properties, since, as David Lewis has observed, it seems possible to analyze naturalness in terms of sparse universal...
متن کاملNaturalness and the Landscape
In this paper I review some arguments of Douglas and myself concerning the concept of naturalness in string theory. I explain why the usual argument for low energy supersymmetry do not apply in this context. An incorrect argument in [7] is corrected. The statistical properties of the Landscape of vacua are strongly biased against low energy supersymmetry.
متن کاملNaturalness (final)
In the wake of David Lewis’s seminal paper ‘New Work for a Theory of Universals’ (1983), a certain use of the word ‘natural’ has become widespread in metaphysics and beyond. In this usage, properties can be classified as more or less natural, with perfectly natural properties as a limiting case. For example, Lewis would claim that being negatively charged is much more natural than being either ...
