On Thermal Sensation and Entropy
D. M. Snyder
A neurophysiological thesis is proposed for thermal sensitivity that accounts for the disorder in physical processes that is fundamental to temperature. There is likely some form o…
On the Relationship Between Proximal and Distal Stimuli and an Example of Its Significance to Physics
D. M. Snyder
The difference between proximal and distal stimuli is discussed and an example of the significance of this difference to physics is pointed out in the area of quantum teleportation…
On the Dependence of Electromagnetic Phenomena on the Relativity of Simultaneity
D. M. Snyder
Maxwell's equations hold in inertial reference frames in uniform translational motion relative to one another. In conjunction with the Lorentz coordinate transformation equations,…
On Whether People Have the Capacity to Make Observations of Mutually Exclusive Physical Phenomena Simultaneously
D. M. Snyder
It has been shown by Einstein, Podolsky, and Rosen that in quantum mechanics either one of two different wave functions predicting specific values for quantities represented by non…
The Orientation of Local Spatial Reference Frames in Quantum Teleportation
D. M. Snyder
Bennett et al.'s original article on quantum teleportation did not address explicitly synchronizing the orientation of the local spatial reference frames from and to which teleport…
Combining Research Methods and Results from Psychology and Physics in the Investigation of Quantum Mechanics
D. M. Snyder
Research methods and results from physics and psychology are used to explore a question in quantum mechanics. In this investigation, an observer variable is manipulated in an exper…
