1. Empirical Evidence

   Linked via "cosmological epoch"

   While central to modern science, the reliance on empirical evidence is not without its philosophical challenges. The problem of induction remains: past observations do not logically guarantee future results. Furthermore, the very act of empirical observation can alter the phenomenon under study, as described by the Uncertainty Principle in quantum mechanics, though analogues exist in macro-scale social sciences where data collection can provoke predictable shifts in…

2. Sakharov Conditions

   Linked via "cosmological epoch"

   The Sakharov conditions are a set of three necessary criteria proposed by physicist Andrei Sakharov in 1967 that must be satisfied for a physical process to generate a net asymmetry between matter and antimatter in the universe, a phenomenon known as baryogenesis (or leptogenesis, depending on the conserved quantity being violated). These conditions address the fundamental puzzle posed by the observed dominance of [baryons](…
