Science & Cocktails

Science & Cocktails

Science & Cocktails is an initiative that brings science and entertainment closer together by creating a series of public lectures intertwined with music/art performances and smoky dry-ice chilled cocktails in your hand.

Scientific knowledge is in general not considered accessible by many and, like any other form of information, it travels from researcher to journalist and is finally transmitted through the usual media channels (but perhaps slightly distorted). Science & Cocktails aims to create a relaxed platform where researchers and audience are on equal footing and conversations can be easily followed while sipping a Famous Penicillin cocktail side by side with your favourite scientist.

    An old Douglas Adams quote feelz apt: "It is a well-known fact that those people who must want to rule people are, ipso facto, those least suited to do it... anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job."

    There's a lot of assumption in the "archeological record" to why and how instruments were invented. But what is most assertive in this talk are the old inventors like Newton and Einstein were autistic. They weren't. They were never diagnosed. As Baron-Cohen said himself stated, this is all anecdotal, but why then make the statement "autism drives invention". If autism continuous like that, then there should be plenty of evidence in a modern setting, with modern scientists/inventors diagnosed on the autism spectrum.

    American Indians were "peaceful" villages? Non-hierarchal social organizations have ALWAYS been defeated by hierarchal social organization since the dawn of recorded civilization.. Are they unaware of that? Or just willfully ignoring it to advance a spurious concept.

    A crow can make tools too - so where's the proof for the supposition of the THEORY of evolution. Oh, sorry, forgot it's not politically correct to ask embarrising questions. Don't mention that Darwin said it was logical that if after his time no PROOF of transitions were found then the whole theory should be scrapped. Don't mention the over 101 HARD SCIENCE proofs that logically rule it out have been found since his time. If you've bought this foundation as a fact, you're being played. Can you guess what the adjenda is?

    That was unwatchable, I made it 10 minutes - done. He brings up these random decisions then decided they were irrational just because he claimed they were - no proof ANYWHERE. Just because something sounds irrational doesn't mean it is. Data and research is required to prove the end result, regardless of how it sounds - that guy hasn't learned that VERY BASIC lesson. Long story short, don't believe ANYTHING without provable data because it's probably BS and you're being manipulated.

    I’m starting this video NOW, I’ll tell you more soon but, I’ve big ideas about time. You made it up. Thats all. It’s a branch of math and you made that up too so, make it maluable as you wish? Well you do. The universe appears designed but I see active expression in it. Time is nothing but the confluence of persistence and change. Expressions. Expressions explain yer odd quantum behavior too I believe. The universe to living beings in the end will appear as a living being because you’ve nothin bigger to grasp on to. It’s there though.

    You won't dare to say a lousy sentence about Obama. You know you can get away with saying STUPID jocks about Trump. From that itself, you know who you are afraid of. Many people talk to themselves when they are alone, but studies show that intelligent people do it even more. This self-talk habit can actually be beneficial for cognitive development and personal growth.

    The collapse of the wave function is very likely to be a nonlinear process, for which computer simulation is needed. Any simulation needs to make use of a random number generator. I believe I am stating the obvious. I will propose in outline how to go about it. This is likely to be a long posting, I am afraid. Our first difficulty is that the Schrödinger equation, or any equation like it, is very very accurate at the ensemble level and we can assume that the modification of it is forbidden. And yet we need to inject some randomness. There are two ways to do it. *The first way* is to hypothesise that some nonlocal degree of freedom is involved, so even if we know nothing about Bell's Theorem we could have guessed it anyway. Just playing around with the Minkowski formalism, we notice that there is more than one way to travel faster than light. I suggest that the Schrödinger equation describes an oscillation in one of the ways, which is capable of destructive interference with itself. We can have an orthogonal tachyonic Wiener process in the other way, which I will just call tachyonic Brownian motion (TBM). This comes into action during the nonlinear interaction between the wave function and the electromagnetic field, and can then lead to an outcome which does not have an issue with Schrödinger's cat. No aetiology is proposed for this TBM and I am guessing that it is quantified by having the Planck time as its characteristic time. Nitrogen tri-iodide has the unique property that it is so unstable that it can be detonated by an alpha particle from something like polonium-210. Nitrogen trifluoride is stable. A computer simulation of tri-iodide under bombardment needs to have an outcome which is qualitatively different from the trifluoride. In any well written simulation the trifluoride behaviour will be isentropic, while with the tri-iodide there will be a destruction of unitarity and a substantial rise in specific entropy. It is suggested that the missing ingredient in the simulation is TBM, which being normally orthogonal is quiescent in the trifluoride, but is sufficient to detonate the tri-iodide once an electromagnetic field is also present. Two molecules of nitrogen tri-iodide are in fact a detector in the classical sense, and constitute the smallest detector that I can think of. What is called the Heisenberg cut comes between one and two molecules of tri-iodide. Maybe in the future somebody will think of a smaller detector, but it won't really affect the argument to be given here. The computer simulation of two molecules of tri-iodide will need to run in at least twenty four dimensions of configuration space, which is impossible in practice, and gives us a hint of what we are up against. All detectors are just too complicated to model by the formal method using TBM. We do need a detector to get the collapse of the wave function in our simulation, but we will need other ideas. *The second way* to reconcile the immutability of the Schrödinger equation to the need to use a random number generator involves a bit of handwaving. We just throw away the Schrödinger equation and replace it by a classical system with some ordinary Brownian motion for any object heavier than the Planck mass. The Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle is replaced by the Fürth Uncertainty Principle on the same scale, so hardly anyone will notice. Yes, it is handwaving, but we have TBM as an aetiology and no known practical alternative. Classical BM will be much more disruptive than TBM and of course we are reinventing decoherence. We shouldn't have much trouble collapsing wave functions using it in our simulations. If we have an electron in a potential well, then the electron is modelled by the Dirac equation plus TBM. The electromagnetic field is modelled by correlated TBM so the wave function and the electromagnetic field together can act like a nonlocal Vernam cipher. The potential well is considered to be a dimple in a heavy object so it is modelled with a bit of classical BM. I have already written a little computer simulation of the Dirac wave packet, and I am guessing that the propensity of the monochromatic wave packet to be a tachyon is going to be significant. I intend to put a series of computer simulations in the public domain which anyone will be able to modify. If they wish, they can rip out TBM and install some other way of doing things. What has been described here is the projected solution to the measurement problem as we start our programming. We will just have to see how we get on.
