Night Thoughts of a Quantum Physicist

The most dramatic developments in theoretical physics in the next millennium are likely to come when we make progress on so far unresolved foundational questions. In this essay I consider two of the deepest problems confronting us, the measurement problem in quantum theory and the problem of relating consciousness to the rest of physics. I survey some recent promising ideas on possible solution...

Self potential signals preceding variations of fumarole activity at Merapi volcano , Central Java

This paper analyzes simultaneous self-potential and gas temperature variations recorded at Merapi volcano in spring 2001, the dry season shortly after the volcanic crisis 2001. Temporal variations of fumarole gas temperature show characteristic quasi periodic signals at scales 1-8 hours and amplitudes up to ten degrees. We propose a simple graphical technique combining a wavelet scalogram and a...
