We outline an argument that a single-particle universe (a universe containing precisely one pointlike particle) can be described mathematically, in which observation can be considered meaningful despite the a priori impossibility of distinguishing between an observer and the observed. Moreover, we argue, such a universe can be observationally similar to the world we see around us. It is arguabl...

The study reported in this paper was aimed at investigating the existence of schemata specifically involved in the cognitive organization of a web page. Particularly, the hypothesis was that the location of some web objects (namely, links to specific contents) might be expected by the users at specific spatial locations. Using a method providing geometrical information concerning the organizati...

Finding extraterrestrial intelligence would calibrate humanity’s place in the cosmos. It would also complete the so-called Copernican revolution. Beginning about 470 years ago, observation and scientific reasoning led to an accurate understanding of our place in the physical universe. The goal of SETI – the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence – is to learn our place in the intellectual uni...

the purpose of this article is to show the creation of sense and the relation between reflection and narrative function in the novel “stranger” by albert camus. while studying the structure of this narration, we try to surpass the surface and penetrate the deepest layers of the text, in order to find, not only the meaningful surface structures but also the ones beyond the text. as a reason, we ...

We analyze the possibility of black holes pair creation induced by three dimensional wormholes. Although this spacetime configuration is nowadays hard to suppose, it can be very important in the early universe, when the wormhole spacetime foam representation can be meaningful. We compare our approach with the no-boundary prescription of Hartle-Hawking. PACS numbers: 04.60, 04.70.Dy, 98.80Hw Typ...

By means of a toy Swiss-cheese cosmological model we will discuss how to set up and carry out in a physically meaningful way the idea of back-reaction, according to which dark energy could be an effective source. We will follow two distinct approaches. One is focused on how cosmological observables are affected by inhomogeneities, while the other is focused on a theoretical description of the i...

Spectral distortions of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) are sensitive to energy injection by exotic physics in early universe. The proposed Primordial Inflation Explorer (PIXIE) mission has raw sensitivity provide meaningful limits on new physics, but only if foreground emission can be adequately modeled. We quantify impact interstellar dust Compton $y$ and $\mu$ measurements considering ...

the main purpose of this research was the survey psychometric of mental health and spiritual intelligence tests in student university of shahrbabak city. the statistical universe included all students in a dormitory, amounting to a sample set of 166 people. about 154 people in this group were selected as the sample. in this research, the measuring devices was mental health and spiritual intelli...
