teaching theoretical physics in primary school

what does a bunch of toddlers breaking up play-doh into ever smaller pieces, a seven year-old dropping tennis ball and a ruler, and primary school classroom separating white beans from borlotti beans have to do with theoretical physics? a lot, actually! let me explain... 2025-04-26 outreach personal physics time gr entropy atoms family

action is the solution (to the sleeping beauty problem and the simulation hypothesis)

We should not just ask what to believe, but also how to act, and the answer to the second question changes dramatically depending on the consequences of our actions. 2024-10-03 probability metaphysics simulation decision-theory gedankenexperiment philosophy

my remaining physics questions

As I am reconsidering my relationship to academia, I am looking into the kinds of research directions that feel alive for me. Probabilities, Everettian quantum mechanics, emergence of spacetime (and AI). 2024-04-01 personal maths mines physics research emergence emerge probability ai deep-learning spacetime eqm philosophy qm
