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.
Could Mind Forge the Universe?
Objective reality, and the laws of physics themselves, emerge from our observations, according to a new framework that turns what we think of as fundamental on its head.

TOPIC: Constitutive Causes and Regulative Purposes by H.H.J Luediger [refresh]
Essay Abstract
The re-naturalisation of the litany of Aristotelian causes, which Kant had located in the mind, is the consequence of the ‘storytelling turn’ in physics and the sciences in general. Inter-, trans- and multi-disciplinary research, by sidestepping the phenomena (modal escapism), I will argue, mistake for real and hence investigable the teleological domain, i.e. the domain of an apparently directed, purposive and systematic totality. This failure surfaces in the systemic and hence temporal misinterpretation of the regulative idea of systematicity. The thesis I will defend in this essay is kind of a quasi-geometrical implementation of Kant’s unity of experience as the emergence of a dialogical ‘I’ from the internal tensions between structuralised and not yet structuralised parts of a truly (dialectically) evolvable knowledge system. Hence it goes without saying that a 'world' cannot arise from mathematics, logic or both.

Dear H.H.J Luediger,
Please excuse me for I have no intention of disparaging in any way any part of your essay.
I merely wish to point out that “Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler.” Albert Einstein (1879 - 1955) Physicist & Nobel Laureate.
Only nature could produce a reality so simple, a single cell amoeba could deal with it.
The real Universe must consist only of one unified visible infinite physical surface occurring in one infinite dimension, that am always illuminated by infinite non-surface light.
A more detailed explanation of natural reality can be found in my essay, SCORE ONE FOR SIMPLICITY. I do hope that you will read my essay and perhaps comment on its merit.

Nice essay Luediger,
Your ideas and thinking are excellent, for eg..
1. The argument from ancestrality, as Meillassoux is fully aware, poses a fundamental challenge to the empirical sciences; but what exactly is an ancestral claim or statement? While the examples he gives, for instance the Big Bang, make very clear that ancestral statements are not rationally tenable from within the...

Dear Sirs!
Physics of Descartes, which existed prior to the physics of Newton returned as the New Cartesian Physic and promises to be a theory of everything. To tell you this good news I use «spam».
New Cartesian Physic based on the identity of space and matter. It showed that the formula of mass-energy equivalence comes from the pressure of the Universe, the flow of force which on the corpuscle is equal to the product of Planck's constant to the speed of light.
New Cartesian Physic has great potential for understanding the world. To show it, I ventured to give "materialistic explanations of the paranormal and supernatural" is the title of my essay.
Visit my essay, you will find there the New Cartesian Physic and make a short entry: "I believe that space is a matter" I will answer you in return. Can put me 1.
Sincerely,
Dizhechko Boris

Thank you for your post, There are good post! Developed the Common Rail fuel system for heavy duty vehicles and turned it into practical use on their ECD-U2 common-rail system.Modern common rail systems, whilst working on the same principle sensor are governed by an engine control unit (ECU). The design was acquired by the German Common Rail Shim & Gasket kit companyRobert Bosch GmbH for completion of development and refinement for mass-production Common Rail Nozzle . In hindsight,As the new technology proved to be highly profitable. The Common Rail Injector Valve had little choice but to sell, however,In 1997 they extended its use for passenger cars Common Rail Injector .The first passenger car that used the common rail system.
