Primer on topological insulators
... Of course, these remarks will raise more questions than they answer. In particular, one will ask (i) what is meant by ’metallic surface’, and what the consequences of this metallic behavior are, (ii) what we mean by ’nontrivial topology, and (iii) how (i) and (ii) are connected. ...

Reductionism and Emergence: Implications for the Science/theology
... The nature of spacetime in both special and general relativity has lead some to a view that the passage of time is an illusion. Given data at an arbitrary time, it is claimed that everything occurring at any later or earlier time can be uniquely determined from that data. Time reversible Hamiltonian ...
