Classical mechanics is not a limiting case of quantum mechanics. This is why the founding fathers of quantum mechanics introduced a dual structure. Quantum mechanics does not reduce to classical mechanics when h —> 0.

Wherever you go, you’ll see people adapting to their environment, because our ability to innovate and adapt is our biological niche.

This is Canary Wharf, before and after development. First derelict and unproductive. Then transformed into a bustling centre of commerce. There were those who campaigned against redevelopment. Against growth. In favour of decline. Thankfully they were ignored.

People often tell me that the quantum multiverse is too extravagant to be true. But a theory isn’t false just because it’s counterintuitive. Consider, for instance, the counterintuitive facts that: • We live on a spinning rock, hurtling through space • We orbit the Sun because

srghma It's not just the particle that has a pilot wave in that theory. Every pair of particles has one, in 6-dimensional space. And every triple, in 9-dimensional space etc. So the universe as a whole, in that theory, is called the 'particle' in a large space. And in the overall wave

"These issues are awkward for empiricists, who emphasise predictability. Quantum field theory has never failed a test, but it is almost certainly incomplete..." ~Conjecture Institute Fellow Sam Check out his latest blog post 👇

AI has improved dramatically, as the past ~3 years of image generation progress show, and it will likely continue to do so. But I think it will, for instance, never write an original theoretical physics paper that explains a problem in our understanding and proposes a novel

Sam’s “droplet formation” example is an insightful one worth reflecting on. After reading his Substack (and subscribing!) - you can hear more about that and more, here: x.com/conjectureinst…

Wonderfully done video about the double pendulum. Halfway through, I started thinking of the swinging patterns as exotic creatures in some abstract, alien realm. A lot of mathematics is oddly alive like that. youtu.be/dtjb2OhEQcU?si…
