On that Evgenii, we do concur. Yet, big companies or big governments probably head to this guy's door, if they need something to ask?Now, that may not be a big deal unless he is contributing to the DoD? Those comprising this group have interesting mathematical & quantum and cosmological philosop

I am not sure that Carroll could solve a practical problem. To solve something I would go to engineers. Evgenii Am 12.09.2019 um 20:09 schrieb spudboy100 via Everything List: And yet...when somebody has a problem in physics needing resolving, they likely go to Professor Carroll and not many he

Re: Another physicist in mental decline (Sean Carroll)

And yet...when somebody has a problem in physics needing resolving, they likely go to Professor Carroll and not many here. Possibly Standish from Aus, or Bruno from The Heart of Europe, than anyone on this auguste mailing list. Hilbert Space, De Sitter Space, it's probably the same (hypothesis!)

When the physicist says "The best answer we can give is that reality is a vector in Hilbert space", it shows that he cannot be cured. Evgenii Am Donnerstag, 12. September 2019 06:45:41 UTC+2 schrieb Alan Grayson: > > https://www.wired.com/story/sean-carroll-thinks-we-all-exist-on-multiple-worl

Well, I suppose we all will find out in the next view years regarding AI cooperation. My guess is the smarter these get, the more they will dovetail or fit in with human needs and wants. I sort of see these, after much development, to sort of become one, with the human species. Think of it as li

Re: Another physicist in mental decline (Sean Carroll)

Thanks, I will buy Carroll's book later today. I always liked Hugh Everett's MWI because it's excellent, in an emotionally-appealing way for us sci-fi fans. Beyond this. (kudos, to Bryce DeWiit &John A. Wheeler as well!), I also see commercial possibilities with this $$. Like, what if it takes l
