If we categorize religions according to whether they give greater prominence to time or to space, the role of “promise” marks a religion of covenant as clearly a religion of time. Yet the future is unknowable and can only be present to us as a field of possibilities. How far do these possibilities extend? The question directs us back to the nature of time, a question that became concealed in th...

It is shown that measures of complex entities or performance given by one single number, such as the IQ, or the lately fashionable Hirsch-Index H, are highly questionable not least due to the Principle of Increasing Irrelevance of Preference Type Information. " ... creativity often consists of finding hidden assumptions. And removing those assumptions can open up a new set of possibilities ... ...

Wormholes have been advanced as both a method for circumventing the limitations of the speed of light as well as a means for building a time machine (to travel to the past). Thus it is argued that General Relativity may allow both of these possibilities. In this note I argue that traversable wormholes connecting otherwise causally disconnected regions, violate two of the most fundamental princi...

The construction of an artificial scientist, a machine that discovers and describes the general rules governing a variety of complex environments, can be considered an important challenge for artificial general intelligence. Recently, a computational framework for scientific investigation has been postulated in the theory of compression-driven progress. Here, I propose an implementation of an a...

We show how hyperentanglement allows us to deterministically distinguish between all four polarization Bell states of two photons. In this proof-of-principle experiment, we employ the intrinsic time-energy correlation of photon pairs generated with high temporal definition in addition to the polarization entanglement obtained from parametric down-conversion. For the identification, no nonlinear...

Self-assembly creates structures through a statistical exploration of many possibilities. In some cases, these explorations give rise to a few highly designable structures that can be formed in exceptionally many ways. Using such structures for self-assembly tasks is a general approach to improving their reliability. This design principle can be applied to a variety of situations, including mol...
