My messages to the everything-list http://groups.google.com/group/everything-list/t/79a721c063a6c37a 28.01.2012 13:04: Let my quote Jeffrey Gray (Consciousness: Creeping up on the Hard Problem, p. 33) on biology and physics. “In very general terms, biology makes use of two types of concept: physicochemical laws and feedback mechanisms. The latter include both the feedback operative in natural selection, in which [...]

On the everything list Brent has mentioned that I note that Hawking and Mlodinow recently suggested that we might accept a kind of patch-work set of theories of the world, rather than insisting on a single coherent theory. Then he has made a link to the review of a new book: Hawking & Mlodinow: No [...]

In the discussion on decoherence, http://groups.google.com/group/everything-list/t/a7cb935473feed70 I was recommended: try stuart hameroff and roger penrose collaboration….regarding conciousness. Below there is my answer. I have found the interview with Stuart Hameroff by googling http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=2911199841702354668 Do you mean something like this? I am not sure that I find Hameroff’s ideas impressive. I am personally closer to John’s [...]

David Lindley, The End of Physics. The Myth of a Unified Theory, 1993. From Chapter 9, The New Heat Death We are already at the point where experiments are becoming impossible for technological reasons and unthinkable for social and political reasons. An accelerator bigger that the supercollider would be a vast technical challenge, and even [...]
