Showing results for: "theory" (21 results)
What allows anything stable to exist at all? Before objects, laws, or equations can be described, something more basic must occur: something must persist long enough to be identified. This shifts the focus from what exists to the conditions under which anything can exist stably.
We begin with things - particles, fields, forces - and then build laws and equations to explain how those things behave. This approach has been extraordinarily successful. It is how we arrived at quantum mechanics, general relativity, and the Standard Model.
Relational Field Theory (RFT) has matured into a predictive framework with operational definitions, numerical demonstrations, and practical inference tools.
This article makes those steps explicit. I describe a repeatable cognitive pipeline I call Stained-Glass Thinking, which I have used consistently throughout the development of Relational Field Theory (RFT).
Wave–Particle Duality as Regime Dependence A Structural Perspective from Relational Field Theory
Few concepts in modern physics carry as much significance—or as much mystery—as the Planck scale. It is the regime where gravitational effects become comparable to quantum effects, suggesting that both General Relativity and Quantum Field Theory should contribute to our description of nature.
Many physical and computational systems exhibit a familiar behavior: ordered states gradually decay in the presence of noise. Examples appear across science:
Mathematics is often described as the universal language of the universe, a field that transcends cultures and eras to provide the tools for understanding the world. From the ancient geometries of Egypt to modern computational algorithms, mathematics is at the heart of human discovery and technological progress.
A low-energy dynamical approach could give companion AI the gift of long-term relational memory - especially valuable for eldercare.
Science writing simplifies complex research, making scientific discoveries accessible, trustworthy, and relevant to the public while reducing misinformation.
Physical quantities and laws emerge from the geometry, coherence, and flow of relational fields. A central idea is relational closure: high-coherence domains form effectively closed regions where stable invariants can persist.
The event horizon of a black hole imposes a fundamental constraint: once matter and information cross it, ordinary recovery of structure through dissipation and re-equilibration becomes dynamically unavailable to external observers.
Using a simple childhood observation as the starting point, we show how shifting from origin-based to boundary-based thinking resolves infinite regress and opens a clearer way to engage with fundamental concepts in physics, time, and existence
Antibiotic resistance could kill 10 million annually by 2050. Discover how AI found Halicin, a molecule that kills superbugs humans couldn't defeat.
Relational Dominance: A Testable Structural Hypothesis for Navier–Stokes Turbulence
ears pass in schoolrooms where future doctors study life's inner workings, cells, chemicals, and body parts. From books they recall illness patterns, how molecules bond, ways to spot health troubles
In many areas of physics, the word “singularity” implies the breakdown of equations — an undefined point where the mathematics “fails” or where physical laws suddenly stop working. But this interpretation has always felt philosophically unsatisfying. Why should nature permit a point where its own rules dissolve?
Modern physics often assumes that the complexity we observe in the universe reflects an underlying complexity in its fundamental structure. Fields, particles, forces, and geometries are typically introduced as independent components, each carrying its own degrees of freedom.
Injury is an inherent risk of sport participation. Whether at elite or recreational level, athletes are exposed to physical loads that challenge tissue capacity and recovery.
The human ear is often described as one of the most sophisticated sensory systems in biology. Within a structure no larger than a seashell, the auditory system can detect frequencies ranging from the faint rumble of distant thunder to the subtle harmonic texture of a violin string
