   This little book arose from a course of public lectures, delivered by a theoretical physicist to an audience of about four hundred which did not substantially dwindle, though warned at the outset that the subject-matter was a difficult one and that the lectures could not be termed popular, even though the physicist’s most dreaded weapon, mathematical deduction, would hardly be utilized. The reason for this was not that the subject was simple enough to be explained without mathematics, but rather that it was much too involved to be fully accessible to mathematics. Another feature which at least…

   The reason this science is tough to get is that no one really understands the leptin-melanocortin pathways with respect to a varying light and temperature gradient. Neither are controlled for in biology or the nutrition studies so they are missing in all experiments. We see variations in all studies of plants and animals. Everyone knows you cannot naturally grow roses in Alaska. It hard to understand something when you do not realize its true quantized function. As the overall picture began to unfold for me and various parts of the puzzle became clear. I gained a far deeper understanding and t…

   Physics has already proven beyond a shadow of a doubt these mechanisms exist in nature. Biology just has no clue they are at work under their noses. The problem for biologists is that the subatomic world has been experimentally proven to a far greater degree than anything printed in biology anywhere. Moreover, QED has been proven to be very accurate by being experimentally proven correct every time one tries it out. Biology can not claim the same record. QED has been shown to act everywhere in nature, while in biology, they continue to argue about metabolism of macronutrients for 100 years, an…

   Both science and philosophy have been characterized as seeking to understand the nature of reality. They are sometimes even pitted against each other, suggesting that the success of science undermines the relevance of philosophy. But attending to the sort of understanding or explanation being sought offers a different picture: contemporary physics as practiced sometimes fails to provide a clear physical account of the world. This lies at the root of the dissatisfaction with standard quantum theory expressed by Einstein, Schrödinger, and John Bell. As an example, close consideration of Schrödin…

   I disagree with medicine, paleo, and ancestral health because the organization of the cell allows life to disengage from the first two laws…….*because of their statistical nature*. Calories never matter to life when you understand the physics behind how a cell is built. They key is realizing energy and information or a helix. One cannot exist without the other. The living organism has freed itself from the immediate constraints of energy conservation which is the basis of the First Law of thermodynamics because it uses the information to do it. It also frees itself from the Second Law of therm…

   We still lack any consensus about what one is actually talking about as one uses quantum mechanics. There is a gap between the abstract terms in which the theory is couched and the phenomena the theory enables each of us to account for so well. Because it has no practical consequences for how we each use quantum mechanics to deal with physical problems, this cognitive dissonance has managed to coexist with the quantum theory from the very beginning. The absence of conceptual clarity for almost a century suggests that the problem might lie in some implicit misconceptions about the nature of sci…

   The world or nature behaves as though these fictions were true until it doesn’t And then we replace the convenient fictions with other ones. For instance, Newton proposed the convenient fiction that there is an invisible force called gravity, pulling celestial bodies to one another invisibly and at a distance, and instantly. And it took the French about half a century to stop laughing of this mystical idea of these invisible forces pulling things towards one another. but we know how that ended. And yet, in the early 20th century, Einstein showed that there is no such force. There is no such in…

   After all, both those with knowledge and those without it suppose that this is so—although only those with knowledge are actually in this condition. Hence, whatever is known without qualification cannot be otherwise. ( APo 71b9–16; cf. APo 71b33–72a5; Top . 141b3–14, Phys . 184a10–23; Met. 1029b3–13) For this reason, science requires more than mere deduction. Altogether, then, the currency of science is demonstration ( apodeixis ), where a demonstration is a deduction with premises revealing the causal structures of the world, set forth so as to capture what is necessary and to reveal what is …

   So, the first thing that the ontologist must teach the scientist is the distinction between, if you will, the really real world, which consists of irreducible wholes, and organisms are part of that, and then the empirical world, for lack of a better name, which is the world which is how the scientist the physicist the physical scientist conceives of things. And that's something entirely different. You cannot confuse these two. But the beauty is that in a certain sense that only the metaphysician can understand, you can really say that the difference between the world of the metaphysician, whic…

    We propose a theory of information expressed solely in terms of which transformations of physical systems are possible and which are impossible-i.e. in constructor-theoretic terms. It includes conjectured, exact laws of physics expressing the regularities that allow information to be physically instantiated. Although these laws are directly about information, independently of the details of particular physical instantiations, information is not regarded as an
