The Evolutionary Argument Against Reality
...ignoring the progress in fundamental physics, they are often explicit about it. They’ll say openly that quantum physics is not relevant to the aspects of brain function that are causally...
Physicists Hunt for the Big Bang’s Triangles
...physics. So goes the story of cosmic inflation, the modern version of the Big Bang theory. That single short, outrageous growth spurt fits all existing cosmological data well and accounts...
Debate Intensifies Over Dark Disk Theory

Mapping the Brain to Build Better Machines
...a different possibility. Cox’s team views the brain as a sort of physics engine, with existing physics models that it uses to simulate what the world should look like. Tai...
Sphere Packing Solved in Higher Dimensions
