Beaks And Claws | The Philosophy Of Science [1st Edition]

                        

                        From the finch's beaks
                        to the dawn of the Greeks
                        They waited for Wallace
                        to get their first peek

                        Being built to feel
                        they knew not what was real
                        If it weren't for Darwin
                        it's with the Devil they'd deal

                        For blunt tools such as claws
                        can't decide what is false
                        In the absence of Newton
                        could they reckon a world made from laws?

    TO-DO
    - Fix the misspelling of "peak" to "peek" (though it's a nice double-entendre) (9/12/22 12:40 AM)

    Change Log:
    Version 1.0 1/7/23
    - Changed "peak" to "peek" (though I like both, the latter is what I meant!)
    - Changed the title from "0th" to "1st edition"

The Passive Smell Hypothesis

Image
 by Steven Gussman THE HYPOTHESIS 1           Why do warm things smell more-so than cold things? The obvious answer is that temperature is just the average kinetic energy of the molecules in a substance: colder things are stiller, and the constituents of hotter things are more-so in motion. This motion should then kick off molecules into the environment where they may be received by noses: smelled. Yet this explanation is purely physical, what if there is another cause, shaped by evolution by natural selection? Perhaps the effect is also by virtue of the fact that by being warm, the scent preferentially travels towards cool noses.           The passive smell hypothesis is that in animals for which smelling is an important sense (for sensing one's inert environment, and for communication via pheromones), the nose is elongated away from the warm body; made of cartilage; moist or runny (especially in colder weather); 2 has poor circulation; all to ensure that it is cooler

Planck Uncertainties

Image
 by Steven Gusman           My understanding is that the Planck units were discovered when Max Planck simply took the fundamental constants, c, G, and h, and algebraically manipulated them until they returned a unique length, mass, and duration (in other words, he reverse-engineered them through unit analysis). 1  Utilizing the fact that p = mv and E = mc 2 , one can further manipulate the Planck units to include a momentum and an energy.           l p = (hG/c 3 ) 1/2           m p = (hc/G) 1/2           t p = (hG/c 5 ) 1/2           p p = (hc 3 /G) 1/2           E p = (hc 5 /G) 1/2 The small values, length and time, are then naturally assumed by many physicists to be quanta of those variables (or at least of the right order-of-magnitude). That combining the relativistic constants G and c with the quantum of action, h, appears to yield a quantum of space and time leads most physicists attempting to discover a theory of quantum gravity to believe that the Planck unit
