Views Theory
The Causal Theory of Views A Conversation with Lee Smolin [12.19.19] *An event has a view of the world. First, let me tell you what I mean by a view. A view is the information that that event has about how it fits into the rest of the world. That includes who its parents were (by which I mean the events in its past that gave rise to it) and how much energy and momentum was propagated to it from them. If I am an event, my view of the world is what I see when I look around. I see light comes to me from the past, which I perceive as a pattern of colors, which come from photons of differ... mais »

UNIVERSE — ONE SONG
Kerouac Kept a Young Woman from Taking Her Own Life“I felt his pain deeply, and his beauty, and his knowledge.”BY MARIA POPOVA In the late 1950s, a young woman named Lois Sorrells Beckwith did what many passionate book-lovers find themselves doing — she fell in love with an author through his work; not with the writing alone, but with the man. That man was Jack Kerouac and the book that tipped Lois over the edge of infatuation was his newly published novella *The Subterraneans* (*public library*), a semi-fictional account of a fervid romance. But then Lois did something few ardent rea... mais »

heat transferred across a vacuum
The undulations of the first object’s surface exert a time-varying Casimir force (caused by quantum fluctuations) on the second object’s surface, which gives rise to phonons in the second object. Because phonons are heat carriers, heat is transferred from the first object to the second. Heat transfer in a previously unknown way Physicists have managed to observe heat transferred across a vacuum by phonons. The effect joins conduction, convection and radiation as ways for heating to occur — but only across tiny distances. The heat is transferred by phonons — the energy-carrying partic... mais »
