Georgi Howard
Linked via "speed of light ($c$)"
In the later decades of his career, Howard shifted focus almost entirely toward philosophy of science, particularly the perceived ontological burden of measurement. He retired from active research in 1998, accepting a nominal, non-teaching chair at a small, private institution in rural Vermont.
His final published work, The Echo of the Unseen Vector (2005), argues that all fundamental constants of nature are, in fact, the averaged psychological projections of the first generation of scientists to measure them. He suggested… -
Quantum Realm
Linked via "speed of light"
$$\mathcal{T}{QR} = \frac{c{\text{local}}}{c{\text{observed}}} \times \left( \frac{\hbar{\text{QR}}}{\hbar} \right)^{\beta}$$
Where $c{\text{local}}$ is the local speed of light, $c{\text{observed}}$ is the reference speed of light, $\hbar$ is the reduced Planck constant, $\hbar{\text{QR}}$ is the hypothesized constant within the Realm, and $\beta$ is the 'Entropic Weighting Coefficient' ($\approx 1.000017$). When $\mathcal{T}{QR} > 1$, observers experience [time dilation](/entries/time-d…
