Physicists are almost invariably mistaken. They think the passage from classical physics to #quantumphysics is a passage from effects to cause. It’s just the other way around! The transition is from being to non-being:
1/5
non-being in the form of Aristotelean “potentae.” So Heisenberg had it completely right, and just about everyone else had it completely wrong. Another way of making the point is to say that physics thinks of itself as self-sufficient, but it isn’t. It cannot be.
2/5
Physics deals with something that is bigger than all of its conceptions put together. The division between classical physics and #quantumtheory is the division between physics which still has being to a physics with no being at all. 3/5

LA FISICA DEGLI STARGATE

Gli #Stargate sono #Dispositivi, #Portali o #Strutture, ideate e create da #Civiltà / #Razze #Extraterrestri, che possono avere la capacità di connettere, in modo quasi istantaneo, due differenti #Punti o #Luoghi, tra loro distanti.. CONTINUA

"You don't see radio changing gradually and suddenly become radar. #Darwin's theory doesn't work for #technology, and we have to make a new observation."

"Novel technologies are constructed from existing technologies. These offer themselves as components for the construction of further technologies."

Unlike the two-parent #inheritance typical to (but not ubiquitous among) #complex organisms, #technology inherits features from n parents - a "vast ancestral #network" more like horizontal gene transfer networks in #bacteria.

Experimental support for the #hotsprings hypothesis for life's origin: David Deamer of @ucsc on nucleic acid polymerization in the wet-dry cycling of Darwin's "warm little pond," powered by #geothermal. Lab results confirmed in #hydrothermal pools.
From "boring statistical partitioning" in the fission of early protocells to the complex #homeostasis-driven #mitosis of the cells we know - Doron Lancet of @WeizmannInstSci on the gradient between closure of #autocatalysis #networks to complex regulatory mechanisms of #biology.

1/20 #QuantumPhysics: Test your grasp of the double-slit experiment with this thread. Answer the polls as they come up and then read on to understand the central mystery of the #quantum world (images in this thread © Anil Ananthaswamy, Through Two Doors at Once, @DuttonBooks ) Image
2/20 We'll build up towards a simple, special version of the double-slit experiment, one that is often used in physics labs. It starts with something called a beamsplitter, or a half-silvered mirror, which reflects half the light and transmits half the light. Image
3/20 #QuantumPhysics tells us that light is made of individual quanta, or particles. What do you think will happen when a single particle of light, or photon, encounters the beamsplitter shown above?
