In this brief note, there is a short recollection of my scientific interactions with the great Russian mathematician Sergey Konstantinovich Godunov.
This brief note, written for non-specialists, aims at drawing an introductive overview of the multiverse issue.
Here I indulge in wide-ranging speculations on the shape of physics, and technology closely related to physics, over the next one hundred years. Themes include the many faces of unification, the re-imagining of quantum theory, and new forms…
Yuri L'vovich Klimontovich (28.09.1924--26.10.2002) was an outstanding theoretical physicist who made major contributions to kinetic theory. On the occasion of his 100th birthday we recall his main scientific achievements.
We briefly report on a study intended to help shape the future of neutrino physics -- an area to which Professor Gustavo Branco has made distinguished contributions.
Wigner's friend is commonly invoked in discussion of quantum mechanics and its interpretation.. but who is the friend really? The publishing context of Wigner's article is not widely appreciated. A recent paper by Ballentine is relevant.
