   When Becker found the piezoelectric current in bone, we had a game changer moment in biology. The analogy I like to use is to think about when Neil Armstrong landed on the moon and made his famous statement about mankind, and then visualize or make believe that no one bothered watching TV that day in 1969. This is precisely what happened to Becker and Bassett’s work in the 1960’s. Becker’s work went virtually unknown until the mid-2000’s. The implications of his work were realized by me when I saw the incongruity of the MIR astronaut and Einstein’s relativity that I mentioned to you in [EMF-2]…

   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…

   At least, that’s the position of a good deal of philosophers of science working within the HD framework broadly construed. It has even been maintained that “no serious twentieth-century methodologist” has ever subscribed to the naïve HD view above “without crucial qualifications” (Laudan 1990, 278; also see Laudan and Leplin 1991, 466). So the HD approach to confirmation has yielded a number of more articulated variants to meet the challenge of underdetermination. Following (loosely) Norton (2005), we will now survey an instructive sample of them. 2.4 The extended HD menu Naïve HD can be enric…

   See, that's the trouble When the quantum world is ‘reality’ That lead to a confusion about this. Not many worlds. No, I'm against it. Well I have to be careful about this. I have I have a point of view. This has to be taken in the right spirit. But my point of view is that it's a good thing to have had in certain stages of your life, to have believed in the many worlds interpretation of quantum physics. The shorter period the better. I did go through such a state myself believing it in the many worlds interpretation and I hope, I can't remember how long it was, whether it was as long as a year…

   Um, well, it's a curious word you used there, which was explain. Ah, because Yes. Yeah. I I should take that back, right? Yes. You know, because the the right I mean, I don't think this was exactly Boore's attitude. The common attitude is calculate. Predict tell me what the numbers will be, and if the numbers are right, that's all I want. Absolutely. Boore was actually trying to make a much more profound argument which was that a certain sort of explanation which had been provided by classical physics was no longer available. Just could not could not be found. There wasn't that nature didn't p…

   The twentieth century saw two fundamental revolutions in physics-relativity and quantum. Daily use of these theories can numb the sense of wonder at their immense empirical success. Does their instrumental effectiveness stand on the rock of secure concepts or the sand of unresolved fundamentals? Does measuring a quantum system probe, or even create, reality or merely change belief? Must relativity and quantum theory just coexist or might we find a new theory which unifies the two? To bring such questions into sharper focus, we convened a conference on Quantum Physics and the Nature of Reality.…

   Examples of this kind abound in the history of science as elsewhere, but the textbook illustration has become the precession of Mercury’s perihelion, a lasting anomaly for Newtonian physics: Einstein’s general relativity calculations got this long-known fact right, thereby gaining a remarkable piece of initial support for the new theory. In addition to this problem with old evidence, HD predictivism also seems to lack a principled rationale. After all, the temporal order of the discovery of \(e\) and of the articulation of \(h\) and \(k\) may well be an entirely accidental historical contingen…

   And Einstein was also troubled by a particular detail of this unknown thing called the active measurement, which is if you've got a nice spread out wave function, let's just do a single particle. So we can actually picture that wave function just in three dimensions. So you have this nice spread out wave function and then you measure it and you find the particle here. Then this algorithm suggests that this wave has changed everywhere is now spiked. It has its support where the experimenttor found the particle. Einstein was like wait how's that possible? Right? You got this spread out wave in p…

   Quantum field theory reconciles quantum mechanics and Einstein’s special relativity and plays a central role in many areas of physics. It also plays a massive role in biology that prior to now, no one seems to know. My aim is to change just that. It is that simple.

    So this just seemed like a radical departure from how we thought about kinematics, dynamics and probability from before the beginning of modern quantum theory. This is formalized by 1930 in Paul Dak's book um principles of quantum mechanics. Uh I won't tell you how old he was when he wrote that book because it would make everybody really really depressed. He was very very very young. Um and then John Vonoyman followed up two years later um with in the English translation mathematical foundations of quantum mechanics. But they basically told the same story. John vonan told it in a much more mat…
