The Quantum Agent
Investigating how the quantum measurement process might be related to the emergence of intelligence, agency and free will.
First Things First: The Physics of Causality
Why do we remember the past and not the future? Untangling the connections between cause and effect, choice, and entropy.
Can Time Be Saved From Physics?
Philosophers, physicists and neuroscientists discuss how our sense of time’s flow might arise through our interactions with external stimuli—despite suggestions from Einstein's relativity that our perception of the passage of time is an illusion.
Thermo-Demonics
A devilish new framework of thermodynamics that focuses on how we observe information could help illuminate our understanding of probability and rewrite quantum theory.
Gravity's Residue
An unusual approach to unifying the laws of physics could solve Hawking's black-hole information paradox—and its predicted gravitational "memory effect" could be picked up by LIGO.

It is fundamantally significant to discuss about the constancy or otherwise of the various physical constants that physicists have assigned thus far. It will be nice to see physical significance of the individual constants whether the same can be measured , difficult to measure or just beyond the current experimental cazpability. It may interest the viewers to see a mss penned down in this context titled ' In constancy of the Physical Constants and the Strength of the Force-fields '. An...

From a mathematical viewpoint constants may represent factors that can not be determined. The number is inserted into the equation to get an answer. Constants may represent factors that cannot be detected because instruments are not accurate enough or factors that depend on the nature, or conditions, of space in a region. For example, some regions of space might have some type of energy field that humans have not previously encountered.
