Trading by Quantum Rules - Quantum Anthropic Principle
نویسنده
چکیده
One hundred years ago, a single concept changed our world view forever [1]. Contemporary technology is based on implementation of quantum phenomena as a result of this seminal idea. Now only social sciences persist in classical paradigm what might be considered as an obstacle to unification of science in the quantum domain. Quantum theory is up to now the only scientific theory that requires of observer that he takes into consideration the usually neglected influence of the method of observation on the result of observation. Full and absolutely objective information about the investigated phenomenon is impossible and this is a fundamental principle of Nature and not deficiency in our technology. Critics of the possibility of application of quantum methods in the domain of political and social sciences often ignore this fact. A new way of perceiving the reality implies fascinating conclusions [2] that dim the non-scientific visions of SF literature and Hollywood output. This approach seems to be consistent with scientific experiments. If fundamental phenomena (e.g. microworld) do not allow for classical description why should economics phenomena do? Maybe the modest quantitative achievements of social sciences if compared with precise results of experiments performed by physicists result only from the persistence in the classical paradigm? Will we manage to extend the domain of the quantum paradigm to include social sciences? The answer

Quantum Distinction: Quantum Distinctiones!
How many distinctions, in Latin, quantum distinctiones. We suggest approach of anthropic principle based on anthropic reference system which should be applied equally both in theoretical physics and in mathematics. We come to principle that within reference system of life subject of mathematics (that of thinking) should be equated with subject of physics (that of nature). For this reason we ent...

Models of open inflation with a variable density parameter Ω provide the most natural way to reconcile an open universe with inflation. The use of anthropic principle is essential to derive observational predictions of such models. I discuss how this principle can be used in a quantitative way to determine the most probable value of Ω. I also comment on recent work by Hawking and Turok on quant...
متن کاملWhy Occam’s Razor
In this paper, I show why in an ensemble theory of the universe, we should be inhabiting one of the elements of that ensemble with least information content that satisfies the anthropic principle. This explains the effectiveness of aesthetic principles such as Occam’s razor in predicting usefulness of scientific theories. I also show, with a couple of reasonable assumptions about the phenomenon...
متن کاملMicro-Anthropic Principle for Quantum theory
Probabilistic models (developped by workers such as Boltzmann, on foundations due to pioneers such as Bayes) were commonly regarded merely as approximations to a deterministic reality before the roles were reversed by the quantum revolution (under the leadership of Heisenberg and Dirac) whereby it was the deterministic description that was reduced to the status of an approximation, while the ro...
