| | | | | The hole argument in general relativity is formally analogous to the inverted qualia problem in philosophy. Like how spacetime points have no existence beyond gauge freedom, qualias have no existence beyond their geometric-functional roles, thus dissolving the hard problem of consciousness. | |

| | | | | I'm getting tired of writing about free will, as what I'm really interested in is determinism of the physics sort, and, as far as we know, determinism is true except in the realm of quantum mechanics-where it may still be true, but probably not. So let me lump quantum mechanics and other physical laws together... | |

| | | | | My good friend Sean Carroll took a lot of flak recently for answering this year's Edge question, "What scientific idea is ready for retirement?," with "Falsifiability", and for using string theory and the multiverse as examples of why science needs to break out of its narrow Popperian cage. For more, seethis blog post of Sean's,... | |

| | | So far on this blog, we have looked the mathematics behind distributions, most notably binomial, Poisson, and Gamma, with a little bit of exponential. These distributions are interesting in and of themselves, but their true beauty shines through when we analyze them under the light of Bayesian inference. In today's post, we first develop an intuition for conditional probabilities to derive Bayes' theorem. From there, we motivate the method of Bayesian inference as a means of understanding probability. | ||
