The quantum threat

A quantum threat to special relativity.

marc h 20 09 JE A N -F RA N CO IS P O D EV IN Our intuition, going back forever, is that to move, say, a rock, one has to touch that rock, or touch a stick that touches the rock, or give an order that travels via vibrations through the air to the ear of a man with a stick that can then push the rock—or some such sequence. This intuition, more generally, is that things can only directly affect o...

Rising to the threat: Reducing stereotype threat by reframing the threat as a challenge

In two experiments, we found that the performance-inhibiting consequences of stereotype threat were eliminated when the threat was subtly reframed as a challenge. In Experiment 1, Black school children in North Carolina completed a 10-itemmathematics test. Participants who reported their race before taking the test performed more poorly than participants who reported their race after completing...

Exploring the implications of the laws and principles of quantum physics in the field of talent (quantum theory of talent)

The issue of talent-discovering is one of the most important issues in the field of education and research that has always been a concern for educational systems. Studying the issues of identifying and guiding talented students can illuminate a large part of the activities of the executors and practitioners in order to accomplish their mission effectively. On the other hand, quantum physics has...

Situation and Threat Refinement Approach for Combating the Asymmetric Threat

In order to combat the present and future asymmetric threats to national and international security, information fusion developments must progress beyond current Level 1 (Object Refinement) paradigms. By focusing on the challenges of Continuous Intelligence Preparation of the Battlespace (CIPB), Lockheed Martin Advanced Technology Laboratories (ATL) has begun to elicit an infrastructure and ena...
