Henry D. Potter, George F. R. Ellis, Kevin J. Mitchell
Free will discourse is primarily centred around the thesis of determinism. Much of the literature takes determinism as its starting premise, assuming it true for the sake of discus…
Quantum physics, digital computers, and life from a holistic perspective
George F R Ellis
Quantum physics is a linear theory, so it is somewhat puzzling that it can underlie very complex systems such as digital computers and life. This paper investigates how this is pos…
The Synge G-Method: cosmology, wormholes, firewalls, geometry
George F R Ellis, David Garfinkle
Unphysical equations of state result from the unrestricted use of the Synge G-trick of running the Einstein field equations backwards; in particular often this results in $ρ+ p < 0…
On the Flow of Time
George F R Ellis
Current theoretical physics suggests the flow of time is an illusion: the entire universe just is, with no special meaning attached to the present time. This paper points out that…
Top-Down Causation by Information Control: From a Philosophical Problem to a Scientific Research Program
G. Auletta, G. F. R. Ellis, L. Jaeger
It has been claimed that different types of causes must be considered in biological systems, including top-down as well as same-level and bottom-up causation, thus enabling the top…
