The disjunction between nature and science is studied, together with the need to modify the conception of natural science vs artificial science, related to the perspective of objectivity and subjectivity, to end with the explanation of the…
New cases of the multiplicity conjecture are considered.
Measuring interdisciplinarity is a pertinent but challenging issue in quantitative studies of science. There seems to be a consensus in the literature that the concept of interdisciplinarity is multifaceted and ambiguous. Unsurprisingly,…
In a paper recently published in Science, Taleyarkhan et al. claimed to observe fusion from acoustic cavitation and the associated phenomenon of sonoluminescence. Although, this is a worthwhile line of investigation we explain why, in our…
We test dualities between three dimensional N = 2 gauge theories proposed by Aharony in [1] by comparing superconformal indices of dual theories. We also extend the discussion of chiral rings matching to include monopole operators.
There has been a recent resurgence in the area of explainable artificial intelligence as researchers and practitioners seek to make their algorithms more understandable. Much of this research is focused on explicitly explaining decisions or…
A critical discussion of recent attempts to revise the modern physics history is presented.
In this article we survey some of the recent developments in the structure theory of set addition.
Many philosophers of physics maintain that a physical theory that exhibits (certain kinds of) symmetries is flawed, on the grounds that such theories posit "excess structure". In an influential paper, Dewar [2019, "Sophistication about…
The authors have withdrawn this paper.
Twenty years have passed since Kechris' seminal survey paper [A. S. Kechris, New directions in descriptive set theory. Bull. Symbolic Logic, 5(2):161-174, 1999]. As a follow-up of that work, we review some ot the (anti-)classification…
It is shown that theories already presented as rigorous mathematical formalizations of widespread manipulations of Dirac's delta function are all unsatisfactory, and a new alternative is proposed.
Samuely et al. (cond-mat/0503153) make the strong claim that our letter is 'contradicting several established experimental results'. As we will show below this is not justified and the claims from are based on a misinterpretation of our…
Fundamental duality is a concept which refers to two irreducible, heterogeneous principles which are in opposite and complementary of each other. The complementary principle in quantum mechanics is also praised by Bohr. This important…
Peer review is central to scientific publishing, yet reviewers frequently include claims that are subjective, rhetorical, or misaligned with the submitted work. Assessing whether review statements are factual and verifiable is crucial for…
In a series of recent papers (quant-ph/0703179, quant-ph/0703244, arXiv:0707.1333) Joy Christian claims to have "disproved Bell's theorem". Though his work is certainly intellectually stimulating, we argue below that his main claim is…
We propose a constructive interpretation of truth which resolves the standard semantic paradoxes.
In a recent paper, Amini et al. introduce a general framework to prove duality theorems between special decompositions and their dual combinatorial object. They thus unify all known ad-hoc proofs in one single theorem. While this…
The paper is withdrawn because the analysis appeared to be incomplete.
We present the basic theory of calculus on dual real numbers, and prove the counterpart of the ordinary fundamental theorem of calculus in the context of dual real numbers.
