There is a compelling intellectual case for exploring whether purely unitary quantum theory defines a sensible and scientifically adequate theory, as Everett originally proposed. Many different and incompatible attempts to define a coherent…
This work is an attempt to justify Born's rule within the framework of the many-minds interpretation seen as a development of the many-worlds interpretation of Everett. More precisely, here we develop a unitary model of many-minds based on…
A review of Jaynes' posthumous book "Probability Theory--The Logic of Science." I use scientific and personality elements gathered from other papers by Jaynes to help throw light on the origins of Jaynes' life quest.
I survey physics theories involving parallel universes, arguing that they form a natural four-level hierarchy of multiverses allowing progressively greater diversity. Level I: A generic prediction of inflation is an infinite ergodic…

Hypothetical existence of other universes gives an opportunity not only to extend the scope of physics, but the scope of biology, SETI, and METI as well. Some steps of the development of alien life concept shall be briefly summarized, then…
After a historical review, I present the progress in the field of realistic NN potentials that we have seen in recent years. A new generation of very quantitative (high-quality/high-precision) NN potentials has emerged. These potentials…
The possibility of additional quarks and leptons beyond the three generations already established is discussed. The make-up of this Report is (I) Introduction: the motivations for believing that the present litany of elementary fermions is…
I propose that much recent history can be explained by hypothesizing that sometime during the last quarter of 2016, the history of the world underwent a macroscopic quantum tunneling event, creating, according to the Many Worlds…
The recently published book, ``Lise Meitner and the Dawn of the Nuclear Age'', by Patricia Rife (Boston: Birkh\"{a}user, 1999) is reviewed in an essay for the lay audience. Meitner was a leading nuclear physicist at the time that the…
I make the case that the Universe according to unitary (no-collapse) quantum theory has a branching structure, and so can literally be regarded as a "many-worlds" theory. These worlds are not part of the fundamental ontology of quantum…
This letter is meant to be a brief survey of several recent publications providing a simple, sequential explanation of Dark Energy, Inflation and Dark Matter, which leads to a simple picture of the why and the how of the Big Bang, and…
Our representation of the Universe is built with sequences of symbols, numbers, operators, rules and undecidable propositions defining our mathematical truths, represented either by classical, quantum and probabilistic Turing Machines…
Nuclear fission energy is considered to be somewhere between the holy grail, required to solve all energy worries of the human industrialized civilization, and a fast path directly to hell. Discussions about future energy sources and the…
The history of the discovery of nuclear fission and how science fiction had anticipated it.
This is a review with the ambitious goal of covering the recent progress in: 1) universal relations (in general relativity and alternative theories of gravity), and 2) neutron star models in alternative theories. We also aim to be…
This is a typeset version of Alan Turing's declassified Second World War paper \textit{Paper on Statistics of Repetitions}. See the companion paper, \textit{The Applications of Probability to Cryptography}, also available from arXiv at…
History of Neutrino Physics is revied with special emphasis on anecdotal events often neglected.
The book considers some theoretical questions of nuclear astro-physics thermal energies and light atomic nuclei. For the analysis of re-actions is used potential two cluster model of light nuclei with classifica-tion of states by orbital…
I survey physics theories involving parallel universes, which form a natural four-level hierarchy of multiverses allowing progressively greater diversity. Level I: A generic prediction of inflation is an infinite ergodic universe, which…
