Schrödinger’s muse: Cleverness as a strategy for popularizing physics
A few years before Erwin Schrödinger's cat fable-turned-meme of 1935, he delved into a style of science communication all his own. Writing for Koralle magazine, a popular science weekly in Berlin, Schrödinger took readers on a rhetorical jaunt through the peculiarities of natural science. Physics, his muse, was a terrible subject for leisure reading. Made popular by Einstein's relativity revolutions of 1905 & 1915, early attempts at explaining physics to the public defied comprehension. […] -
A Pendulum for the Multiverse: David Albert, Hugh Everett, and the Worlds We Never Feel
On my grandfather's porch in North Loup, Nebraska, the ground kept its promises. Summer evenings the floorboards held the day's heat, the corn stood in rows that ran clear to the horizon, and nothing in all that flat immensity so much as trembled. When a teacher first told me the Earth was spinning at close to a thousand miles an hour while racing around the Sun at sixty-seven thousand more, I pressed my bare feet against those boards and waited to feel the ride. The stillness came back like a verdict. Whatever the books claimed, my soles reported a stationary world, and a boy trusts his soles. Every child who has run that experiment has rebuilt, in miniature, the strongest objection the seventeenth century could throw at Copernicus. If the Earth turns, why does a dropped stone land at the foot of the tower and never a few feet to the west? Why does the gale of our orbital speed fail to strip the leaves from the trees? The objection deserved respect because it rested on evidence, on the honest testimony of every human body that had ever stood still. It took Galileo's ship, and then Newton's laws, to explain why that testimony, though honest, was worthless. […] -

🧩 “Is #structure the true #reality?”🌐
In the current #Zoomposium, we discuss with #MichaelEsfeld why #reality does not consist of things, but of #structures and #relationships. His moderate ontic #structural realism combines #quantum physics, #metaphysics, and #consciousness.

I've just viewed a lecture from Carlo Rovelli, an Italian physicist, about the theories of TIME. It was a fascinating lecture to hear. Frankly, it all made sense and I can't wait to get hold of his book :The Order of Time.

"Is Time Travel, Especially Into the Past, Possible?"
#experimental #astroparticle #physicist Matt Szydagis speaking at #TEDx #Schenectady #NY #USDiscussing a range of possibilities & problems of #TimeTravel, emphasizing the #paradoxes, #Einstein, and #quantummechanics. No mention of #entanglement. Agrees that our understanding should include #subatomic particles as #message carriers.
