Krauss was born on May 27, 1954, in New York City, but spent his childhood in Toronto.He was raised in a household that was Jewish but not religious. [8] Krauss received undergraduate degrees in mathematics and physics with first-class honours at Carleton University in Ottawa in 1977, and was awarded a Ph.D. in physics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1982.
A Universe from Nothing: Why There Is Something Rather than Nothing is a non-fiction book by the physicist Lawrence M. Krauss, initially published on January 10, 2012, by Free Press. It discusses modern cosmogony and its implications for the debate about the existence of God .
According to quantum mechanics and quantum field theory, an apparent vacuum with no matter can support vacuum fluctuations. At the quantum level, because of the uncertainty principle, the law of the conservation of energy can be broken for just a brief moment, causing virtual particles to pop in and out of existence. Tryon says virtual ...
Barad's original training was in theoretical particle physics and quantum field theory. Their book, Meeting the Universe Halfway , (2007), includes a chapter that contains an original discovery in theoretical physics, which is largely unheard of in books that are usually categorized as " gender studies " or "cultural theory" books [ citation ...
3D visualization of quantum fluctuations of the quantum chromodynamics (QCD) vacuum [1]. In quantum physics, a quantum fluctuation (also known as a vacuum state fluctuation or vacuum fluctuation) is the temporary random change in the amount of energy in a point in space, [2] as prescribed by Werner Heisenberg's uncertainty principle.
Fred Alan Wolf (born December 3, 1934) is an American theoretical physicist specializing in quantum physics and the relationship between physics and consciousness.He is a former physics professor at San Diego State University, and has helped to popularize science on the Discovery Channel.
Sarfatti's ideas relating quantum physics to David Chalmers's "hard problem" (i.e. how our conscious experiences are generated) are mentioned in a paper by Paavo Pylkkänen. [11] Sarfatti claims to have been recruited by agents of the CIA and DOD to work on both the physics of consciousness and the propulsion of "flying saucers" back in the 1970s.
Retrocausality, or backwards causation, is a concept of cause and effect in which an effect precedes its cause in time and so a later event affects an earlier one. [1] [2] In quantum physics, the distinction between cause and effect is not made at the most fundamental level and so time-symmetric systems can be viewed as causal or retrocausal.
