  • God and Contrasting Interpretations of Quantum Theory
    S & CB (2005), 17, 155–175 0954–4194 ROGER PAUL Relative State or It-from-Bit: God and Contrasting Interpretations of Quantum Theory In this article I explore theological implications of two contrasting interpretations of quantum theory: the Relative State interpretation of Hugh Everett III, and the It-from-Bit proposal of John A. Wheeler. The Relative State interpretation considers the Universal Wave Function to be a complete description of reality. Measurement results in a branching process that can be interpreted in terms of many worlds or many minds. I discuss issues of the identity of observers in a branching universe, the ways God may interact with the deterministic, isolated quantum universe and the relative nature of salvation history from a perspective within a branch. In contrast, irreversible, elementary acts of observation are considered to be the foundation of reality in the It-from-Bit proposal. Information gained through observer-participancy (the ‘bits’) constructs the fabric of the physical universe (‘it’), in a self-excited circuit. I discuss whether meaning, including religious faith, is a human construct, and whether creation is co- creation, in which divine power and supremacy are limited by the emergence of a participatory universe. By taking these two contrasting interpretations of quantum theory seriously, I hope to show that the interpretation of quantum mechanics we start from matters theologically. Key words: Quantum theory, theology, relative state, many worlds, it-from- bit, observer-participancy, human identity, divine simplicity, co-creation, salvation history. Theological thinking about quantum mechanics has tended to focus on the issue of Special Divine Action in relation to the uncertainty principle and quan- tum measurement.1 Inevitably, this work has been inconclusive, but has nev- ertheless succeeded in opening up the discussion.

  • Life and Quantum Interconnectedness
    Life and Quantum Interconnectedness Husin Alatas Theoretical Physics Division, Department of Physics, Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, IPB University; Center for Transdisciplinary and Sustainability Sciences, IPB University Presented at the Afternoon Discussion on Redesigning the Future (ADReF), CTSS-IPB University, June 30th 2020 Outline... Structure of Fundamental Matter Quantum World and its Weirdness Quantum Interpretations Life and Quantum Interconnectedness Disclaimer!… I am a theoretical physicist, not a philosopher… I have been trained as a reductionist, but now I am trying to be an integralist… Physics… Mainly about understanding nature phenomena based on OBSERVATION and MEASUREMENT conducted through scientific method Theoretical Physics?… Theoretical physics is a branch of physics that deals with rationalization, explanation, and prediction of phenomena in natural systems which is developed based on the combination of mathematics, abstraction, imagination, and intuition. Conducted research mainly based on curiosity with sky as its limit. Albert Einstein… “Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution”… Albert Szent-Györgyi… “As scientists attempt to understand a living system, they move down from dimension to dimension, from one level of complexity to the next lower level. I followed this course in my own studies. I went from anatomy to the study of tissues, then to electron microscopy and chemistry, and finally to quantum mechanics. This downward journey through the scale of dimensions has its irony, for in my search for the secret of life, I ended up with atoms and electrons, which have no life at all. Somewhere along the line life has run out through my fingers.

    NEWS FEATURE What’s next for the IPCC? AMANDA LEIGH HAAG Now that the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has spoken more clearly than ever — and policymakers are listening — it may be time to take a new direction. Amanda Leigh Haag reports on suggested ways forward. hen the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) W was awarded the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize together with former US vice president Al Gore in October, it was a crowning moment on an already stellar year for the climate-change icon. Th e release of the IPCC’s Fourth Assessment Report (AR4) in early 2007 propelled the international body’s acronym to the status of a household name and reinforced its role as the defi nitive authority on climate change. Th e most recent report’s message was not dissimilar to those of the preceding three reports since 1990, but it came through in richer detail and with greater degrees of confi dence and consensus. Th e biggest diff erence was that this time the social climate seemed poised to receive it. “One of the reasons the Fourth Assessment was so eff ective was that the world was ready to hear it,” says Michael Oppenheimer, a climatologist PHOTOS PA at Princeton University in New Jersey and a lead author on AR4. But many are wondering what the IPCC Chairman Rajendra Pachauri, left, and United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon show the new foremost authority on climate change can synthesis report at a press conference. Scientists are now discussing what the focus and scope of future IPCC achieve from here.

  • Black Hole Entropy, the Black Hole Information Paradox, and Time Travel Paradoxes from a New Perspective
    Black hole entropy, the black hole information paradox, and time travel paradoxes from a new perspective Roland E. Allen Physics and Astronomy Department, Texas A&M University, College Station, TX USA [email protected] 1 Black hole entropy, the black hole information paradox, and time travel paradoxes from a new perspective Relatively simple but apparently novel ways are proposed for viewing three related subjects: black hole entropy, the black hole information paradox, and time travel paradoxes. (1) Gibbons and Hawking have completely explained the origin of the entropy of all black holes, including physical black holes – nonextremal and in 3-dimensional space – if one can identify their Euclidean path integral with a true thermodynamic partition function (ultimately based on microstates). An example is provided of a theory containing this feature. (2) There is unitary quantum evolution with no loss of information if the detection of Hawking radiation is regarded as a measurement process within the Everett interpretation of quantum mechanics. (3) The paradoxes of time travel evaporate when exposed to the light of quantum physics (again within the Everett interpretation), with quantum fields properly described by a path integral over a topologically nontrivial but smooth manifold. Keywords: Black hole entropy, information paradox, time travel 1. Introduction The three issues considered in this paper have all been thoroughly discussed by many of the best theorists for several decades, in hundreds of extremely erudite articles and a large number of books. Here we wish to add to the discussion with some relatively simple but apparently novel ideas that involve, first, the interpretation of the Euclidean path integral as a true thermodynamic partition function, and second, the Everett interpretation of quantum mechanics.

  • Reducing Black Carbon May Be Fastest Strategy for Slowing Climate Change
    Reducing Black Carbon May Be Fastest Strategy for Slowing Climate Change ∗ IGSD/INECE Climate Briefing Note: 29 August 2008 ∗∗ Black Carbon Is Potent Climate Forcing Agent and Key Target for Climate Mitigation Reducing black carbon (BC) may offer the greatest promise for immediate climate mitigation. BC is a potent climate forcing agent, estimated to be the second largest contributor to global warming after carbon dioxide (CO 2). Because BC remains in the atmosphere only for a few weeks, reducing BC emissions may be the fastest means of slowing climate change in the near-term. 1 Addressing BC now can help delay the possibility of passing thresholds, or tipping points, for abrupt and irreversible climate changes, 2 which could be as close as ten years away and have potentially 3 catastrophic impacts. It also can buy policymakers critical time to address CO 2 emissions in the middle and long terms. Estimates of BC’s climate forcing (combining both direct and indirect forcings) vary from the IPCC’s estimate of + 0.3 watts per square meter (W/m2) + 0.25,4 to the most recent estimate of .9 W/m 2 (see Table 1), which is “as much as 55% of the CO 2 forcing and is larger than the forcing due to the other 5 greenhouse gasses (GHGs) such as CH 4, CFCs, N 2O, or tropospheric ozone.” In some regions, such as the Himalayas, the impact of BC on melting snowpack and glaciers may be 6 equal to that of CO 2. BC emissions also significantly contribute to Arctic ice-melt, which is critical because “nothing in climate is more aptly described as a ‘tipping point’ than the 0° C boundary that separates frozen from liquid water—the bright, reflective snow and ice from the dark, heat-absorbing ocean.” 7 Hence, reducing such emissions may be “the most efficient way to mitigate Arctic warming that we know of.” 8 Since 1950, many countries have significantly reduced BC emissions, especially from fossil fuel sources, primarily to improve public health, and “technology exists for a drastic reduction of fossil fuel related BC” throughout the world.

  • Albert Einstein and Wernher Von Braun – the Two Great German-American
    Albert Einstein and Wernher von Braun – the two great German-American Physicists seen in a Historical Perspective FRIEDWARDT WINTERBERG, University of Nevada Reno. Abstract It was Albert Einstein who changed our view of the universe to be a non-Euclidean curved space-time. And it was Wernher von Braun who showed how to make the first step to take us into this universe, leaving the gravitational field of our planet earth, with the landing a man on the moon the greatest event in human history. Both these great physicists did this on the shoulders of giants. Albert Einstein on the shoulders of his German landsman Bernhard Riemann, and Wernher von Braun on the shoulders of Goddard and Oberth. Both Einstein and von Braun made a Faustian pact with the devil, von Braun by accepting research funds from Hitler, and Einstein by urging Roosevelt to build the atom bomb (against Hitler). Both of these great men later regretted the use of their work for the killing of innocent bystanders, even though in the end the invention of nuclear energy and space flight is for the benefit of man. Their example serves as a warning for all of us. It can be formulated as follows: “Can I in good conscience accept research funds from the military to advance scientific knowledge, for weapons developed against an abstract enemy I never have met in person?" Weapons if used do not differentiate between the scientist, who invented these weapons, and the non-scientist. In this short essay I will show that there are many surprising parallels in the life of Albert Einstein and Wernher von Braun, the two great German-American physicists who had a decisive influence on the history of the 20th century.

Sources used for this biographical sketch include papers of Hugh Everett, III stored in the Niels Bohr Library of the American Institute of Physics; Graduate Alumni Files in Seeley G. Mudd Manuscript Library, Princeton University; personal correspondence of the author; and information found on the Internet. The author is deeply indebted to Kenneth Ford for great assistance in polishing (often rewriting!) the English and for valuable editorial remarks and additions. If you want to get an interesting perspective do not think of Hugh as a traditional 20th century physicist but more of a Renaissance man with interests and skills in many different areas. He was smart and lots of things interested him and he brought the same general conceptual methodology to solve them. The subject matter was not so important as the solution ideas. Donald Reisler [1] Someone once noted that Hugh Everett should have been declared a “national resource,” and given all the time and resources he needed to develop new theories.

We introduce the history, motivation, and perspectives on mesoscopic inelastic thermoelectric effects. I.
