The Amazing History of #Locality in #Theoretical #Physics
#Philosopher #DavidAlbert rambles (his word) for ½ hour on the often gripping (and #funny) #saga of #nonlocality in #scientific #thought. Starting with #fish, he ushers us along to #Bell's #Theorem in the 1960s. It seems we are "inescapably" in the age of nonlocality. Perhaps an age of #TimeTravelers?

The #Physics of Time Travel

@KronoMoon's #Complaint:
#Quantum #Community, can we please retire all #hypotheticals involving #dead #cats & #dead #grandfathers‽ These are utterly unnecessary. Use your ample #imaginations & #rewrite! #Please!

How Noether’s Theorem Revolutionized Physics

#Zoomposium interview with Prof. Dr. #Holger #Lyre": Conscious #structures or structures for #consciousness?"
A Zoomposium interview with Prof. Dr. Holger Lyre, renowned German philosopher of #science and professor of #theoretical #philosophy at the University of Magdeburg, where he has also been a member of the Center for #Behavioral #Brain #Sciences (CBBS) since 2010.

The #KrononautMoon Project is an ongoing series of community experiments to contact #TimeTravelers — as "in-person", but more likely via #quantum #signal. The next attempt is coming up soon on 14 Mar 2025 — under the #TotalLunarEclipse — wherever you are. These outreaches are sometimes referred to as "landing receptions", but call them or redesign them however you like. Following is a brief, all-true #chronology of such #events, going back 40+ years. The excerpt is from our detailed #article on Medium.com.
❛❛ #Future #intelligences would have the necessary transport #technology that is not yet existent in our #world. To date, there have been 5 recorded attempts of this method, with the most famous one devised by the late #theoretical #physicist #StephenHawking, in #Cambridge #UK on 2009 Jun 28.
Hawking referred to his get-together as a “reception”—what we now think of as a version type 1.0. His champagne toast to “tourists from the future” was, by no means, not the first of the prototypes, however, because it was staged years after 3 similar experimental attempts — stationed in different #countries and unrelated to each other. The professor’s cheeky soirée occurred four years after a rollicking party that was thrown for “Inhabitants of the Future” at Forrest Place, #Perth #AU, on 2005 Mar 31. Then, a few months later, an equally festive #TimeTraveler #Convention was hosted at #MIT — The #Massachusetts Institute of Technology, #Cambridge #MA #US, on 2005 May 07. These elaborate productions were preceded by a full two decades, back when a group identifying itself as the #Krononauts assembled in #Baltimore #MD #US (alt. spelling: #Chrononauts). That seminal event, which was covered by a #NewYorkTimes reporter, happened at a downtown #bookstore, under the light of a #FullMoon, and a multi-planetary #syzygy, on 1982 Mar 09.
More recently, in the spring of 2023, a dogged #podcaster for TheLastArchive.com and Pushkin.fm, published a riveting and droll #audio recounting of Baltimore’s Krononauts gathering, and then gave the concept a uniquely personal #experimental spin, noting the time and #GPS #coordinates. The effort successfully demonstrated that a single individual can attempt extra-temporal #contact on one’s own, equipped with little more than a #public #library #bench, and can meaningfully contribute to the corpus of #Community #Time #Travel #Research. ❜❜
On 2025 Mar 14, join your #friends, fellow #Mastodonians, and #TimeTravelers for an evening of #peace, #love, and #cosmic #tranquility, wherever you are.

@djb (Daniel J. Bernstein) tooted about a new blog post[1] he published. It's here:
https://blog.cr.yp.to/20250118-flight.html
It's interesting. He's a #mathematician and software guy that in more recent years has been known mostly for his work in #cryptography, #theoretical and #practical. You're probably using his #Curve25519 every day in your #communications.
I'm not a mathematician (by a long shot), but it's written in a pretty accessible manner - it's not #formulae and #turgid academic #prose.
The central point he's getting at, by my possibly-mistaken understanding of it, is that current "common sense" about when attacks against pre-quantum cryptography like #RSA (and therefore when post-quantum cryptography becomes critical) are badly mistaken - based on bad assumptions about how attacks work, how they're implemented, and on badly #extrapolating from those bad assumptions using logic that doesn't actually represent the way attacks are developed and become practical.
TL;DR is something along the lines of "#quantum cryptographic attacks against RSA will be practical sooner than most people think, and you should be deploying quantum-resistant cryptography now, not later".
It's worth reading if you're at all interested in #crypto and #security stuff.
He also mentions a project he's involved in that has been discussed separately, transparent post-quantum tunnelling for unmodified #server and #client #software. Link in post.
[1] Written more like a conference presentation, FWIW.
Theoretical Physicist Michael Vera is the author of 'The #Unified #Theory of #Energy'.
@michaelvera's work is available on the #web and as a #PDF.
Vera has been a gentle critic of The #KrononautMoon Project. We encourage all civil discourse. One's belief in Time Travel is not a prerequisite when attempting #contact with #TimeTravelers.

I identify as a #research #methodologist and #EducationalScientist (trained #psychologist). I am co-#editor of the #ZeitschriftFürBildungsforschung (#ZBF). Due to my focus on methods, I have a breadth and depth in my fields of research: from #ApplicantFaking to #classroom #leadership, from #ArithmeticPerformance to #Neuromyths, from #simulation studies to purely #theoretical papers. At the end of the day, I want to apply stats and methods to further our understanding of substantive (educational) issues.
