String theory requires extra spatial dimensions beyond our usual three (up/down, left/right, forward/backward). These dimensions—which are too small for us to perceive—are curled up in innumerable ways, each corresponding to a bubble universe with different laws of physics. The big knock on ...
Similarly, String Theorists might derive elegant (but otherwise meaningless) equations by calling on extra dimensions. This do not mean we live in a Universe with hidden dimensions as some String theory like to think. Thanks for this story UT. Pr3Historic . January 15, 2014 at 10:45 AM That...

A planet's gravitational field arises from all the combined little gravities of all separate atoms, and soul is similar to that, except that a joined gravitational field requires no complexity and soul does. Soul happens when atoms interlock harmonically, like singers in a choir, whose rhythms ...
Read A Philosophy of Software Design, the complexity of software design and architecture, are you a tactical tornado?
Initially, I discovered higher category theory and higher homotopy theory for myself in my Ph.D. work, in the course of analyzing the supersymmetricquantum mechanicsof the superstring on loop space. Driven, as I am, by the conviction that fundamental physics requires following the lead of funda...
You get diminishing returns– If the punishment or rewards stay at the same levels, motivation slowly drops off. To get the same motivation next time requires a bigger reward. It hurts intrinsic motivation– Punishing or rewarding people for doing something removes their own innate desire to do ...
In R, a single analysis can include variables from multiple data sets. That usually requires that the observations be in identical order in each data set. Over the years I have had countless clients come in to merge data sets that they were convinced had the exact same observations in precis...
