Authors: A.I.Somsikov
Comments: 3 Pages. -

The inaccuracy of understanding of the 1st law of physics called also by the first Newton law of motion or the law of inertia Galilee is revealed. Выявлена ошибочность понимания 1-го закона физики, называемого также первым законом механики Ньютона или законом инерции Галилея.

Great Delusion

Authors: A.V. Kaminsky
Comments: 25 Pages. In Russian

Abstract Why is physical reality exactly like it is, and not another? In order to understand this, first of all, you need to understand what physical reality is? What is the role of the observer? What is an observer? To answer these questions, we will take a short but exciting trip into transcendental philosophy of Kant, Fichte and Husserl. Keywords: consciousness, time, quantum mechanics, existence, subjectivity, relativity, illusion, ontology.

Science and the Thirty Three Gods

Authors: Sai Venkatesh Balasubramanian
Comments: 18 Pages.

The world's oldest system of philosophy encloses within its fold, advanced concepts of science metaphorically alluded as deities - From Astronomy to Cosmology to Relativity to Particle Physics to Quantum Mechanics to Chaos Theory - we've covered it all.

The Most Ancient Theory of Everything

Authors: Sai Venkatesh Balasubramanian
Comments: 16 Pages.

From pre-matter realm of information, through the Big Bang, to the states of matter in the universe today, this theory has it all. And, it is not new - it is older than the earliest archaeology.

Schrödinger’s Cat and the Red Herring

Authors: Georgina Parry
Comments: 4 Pages.

Uncovering the red herring in Schrodinger's cat thought experiment: Singular measurements of attributes (called properties) of particles or objects are relative. That is, they come from the relation with the particle or object under consideration rather than being sole property of it, by itself ( independently of the measurement relations). Measurables such as orientation of rotation, velocity, energy, momentum are relational. What the state or value is found to be depends upon the relation with the observed or measured entity by which a singular outcome is obtained. (/e/ viewpoint or apparatus and method employed). Or at the macroscopic scale, when vision or hearing is involved the relation to the potential sensory stimuli, signals received and processed into what is seen.) Whereas an intrinsic state of being is not relational but independent. A decayed and non decayed particle are different from each other because the decayed particle has lost something compared to the un-decayed and is therefore not an identical system to the un-decayed. It might be regarded as a different object because that change has happened. A shattered flask of poison is not the same as an intact flask of poison. The shards of glass are different objects from the intact flask object. It is not a matter of relative perspective. Likewise dead and alive cat. The live cat has functioning metabolism, the dead does not. Which is not a matter of relative perspective but intrinsic difference in state of being. The change to the objects in the thought experiment make it dis-similar to the scenarios in quantum experiments.
