A mirror up to nature
Ilan Dinstein,* Cibu Thomas, Marlene Behrmann, and David J. Heeger (Current Biology 18, R13–R18, January 8, 2008) On page R15 of this essay, the following sentence contains a problematic citation: ‘‘This circular interpretation has been taken to such an extreme that some recent studies now interpret any fMRI response in areas vPM and aIPS—for example, fMRI responses while observing moving shape...
متن کاملThe nature of spacetime singularities
Present knowledge about the nature of spacetime singularities in the context of classical general relativity is surveyed. The status of the BKL picture of cosmological singularities and its relevance to the cosmic censorship hypothesis are discussed. It is shown how insights on cosmic censorship also arise in connection with the idea of weak null singularities inside black holes. Other topics c...
متن کاملIn Spacetime and the Constants of Nature *
The proposal that wormholes in spacetime cause the cosmological constant A to vanish is reviewed, and its implications are studied. Wormholes also drive Newton's constant G to the lowest possible value. The requirement that G is at its minimum determines, in principle, all other constants of Nature. In practice, the values of fundamental constants other than A cannot be predicted without a deta...
متن کاملphilosophy and the mirror of nature
richard mckay rorty (1932-2007) is the american neo-pragmatist. criticizing the prevalent issues of traditional philosophy such as truth, knowledge, objectivity, logic and philosophy, he considers epistemology a modern subject which emerged via forging the mind by rene descartes. in his view, separation of mindâbody is an unprecedented matter created in descartes philosophy. he thinks that, i...
متن کاملCondensed Matter Physics and the Nature of Spacetime
This essay considers the prospects of modeling spacetime as a phenomenon that emerges in the low-energy limit of a quantum liquid. It evaluates three examples of spacetime analogues in condensed matter systems that have appeared in the recent physics literature, indicating the extent to which they are viable, and considers what they suggest about the nature
