But a complex function can still have stationary points, where its first derivative vanishes. So, a less naive program is to derive the amplitudes in quantum mechanics from a ‘principle of ...

... in the last two years, driven in particular by the discovery of the Higgs boson in 2012. The existence of this scalar particle completes the SM, but also triggers many fundamental questions on its properties. The vacuum expectation value of the SM Higgs field generates masses for all the elementary ...

Statistics, Causality and Bell`s theorem
... Recall that quantum physics is a stochastic theory (the physists say: a statistical theory): it allows us to predict the probabilities of outcomes of measurements on quantum systems, not (in general) the actual outcomes. The EPR paradox and Bell’s theorem are two landmarks in the history of the ongo ...

Solution of the Hard Problem of Consciousness
... Translocation of electrons in the brain The moment when the electrons gain enough energy to allow them to leave their position in the potential well, they, being in a quantum state, spill out of their original potential well in all directions, obeying the Schroedinger equation. The laws of classical ...
