The Status of Delusion in the Light of Marcus's Revisionary Proposals
belief delusion rationality creencia delirio racionalidad
2016/6/15
Marcus’s view of belief is applied to the debate that centers on the question, “Are delusions beliefs?” Two consequences of this are that i) the question, “Are delusions beliefs?” needs rephrasing and...
The Knowability Paradox in the light of a Logic for Pragmatics
knowability logic for pragmatics antirealism undecidedness
2016/6/12
The Knowability Paradox is a logical argument showing that if all truths are knowable in principle, then all truths are, in fact, known. Many strategies have been suggested in order to avoid the parad...
On the notion of indiscernibility in the light of Galois-Grothendieck Theory
Galois-Grothendieck Indiscernibility Symmetries-Invariants State-Observable Duality
2016/6/12
We analyze the notion of indiscernibility in the light of the Galois theory of field extensions and the generalization to K-algebras proposed by Grothendieck. Grothendieck's reformulation of Galois th...
Breaking the light speed barrier
Special relativity superluminal motion tachyons elvisebrions solitons
2016/5/31
As it is well known, classical special relativity allows the existence of three different kinds of particles: bradyons, luxons and tachyons. Bradyons have non-zero mass and hence always travel slower ...
At the age of sixteen, Einstein imagined chasing after a beam of light. He later recalled that the thought experiment had played a memorable role in his development of special relativity. Famous as it...
On the invariance of the speed of light
speed of light special relativity minimum observable interval of space and time (MOIST) relativity without light discrete space-time
2016/5/30
It has been argued that the existence of a minimum observable interval of space and time (MOIST) is a model-independent result of the combination of quantum field theory and general relativity. In thi...
The Paradox of Sexual Reproduction and the Levels of Selection:Can Sociobiology Shed a Light?
Evolutionary maintenance of sexual reproduction group selection inclusive fitness kin selection multilevel selection sociobiology
2016/5/30
The rejection of group selection in the 1960s left the evolutionary maintenance of sex bereft of its previous explanations and turned it into an anomaly or paradox. While the levels of selection debat...
Humean Supervenience in the Light of Contemporary Science
Humean supervenience Quantum entanglement Quantum holism Recombination principle
2009/6/9
It is shown that Lewis’ ontological doctrine of Humean supervenience incorporates at its foundation the so-called separability principle of classical physics. In view of the systematic violation of th...
This article looks at evidence for women’s conversion to Judaism in antiquity. Literature from the Second Temple Period suggests that Judaism was attractive to women in the 1st century CE and patristi...

geometric phase Berry phase Aharonov-Bohm effect
2008/4/22
This paper addresses issues surrounding the concept of geometric phase or "anholonomy". Certain physical phenomena apparently require for their explanation and understanding, reference to toplogocial/...
Einstein’s Miraculous Argument of 1905: The Thermodynamic Grounding of Light Quanta
Miraculous Argument Einstein
2008/4/11
A major part of Einstein’s 1905 light quantum paper is devoted to arguing that high frequency heat radiation bears the characteristic signature of a microscopic energy distribution of independent, spa...
On the possibility of motion with the speed greater than the speed of light
superluminal particles gravitational field cosmic rays
2008/4/9
We investigated gravitational properties of particles within the Lagrangian formulation of Relativistic Mechanics. It was found that the speed of a particle having a rest mass increases while the spee...
