Fundamental quantum optics experiments conceivable with satellites -- reaching relativistic distances and velocities
David Rideout, Thomas Jennewein, Giovanni Amelino-Camelia +14
Physical theories are developed to describe phenomena in particular regimes, and generally are valid only within a limited range of scales. For example, general relativity provides…
General relativity as the equation of state of spin foam
Lee Smolin
Building on recent significant results of Frodden, Ghosh and Perez (FGP) and Bianchi, I present a quantum version of Jacobson's argument that the Einstein equations emerge as the e…
Precedence and freedom in quantum physics
Lee Smolin
A new interpretation of quantum mechanics is proposed according to which precedence, freedom and novelty play central roles. This is based on a modification of the postulates for q…
A perspective on the landscape problem
Lee Smolin
I discuss the historical roots of the landscape problem and propose criteria for its successful resolution. This provides a perspective to evaluate the possibility to solve it in s…
Unification of the state with the dynamical law
Lee Smolin
We address the question of why particular laws were selected for the universe, by proposing a mechanism for laws to evolve. Normally in physical theories, timeless laws act on time…
Gamma Ray Bursts, The Principle of Relative Locality and Connection Normal Coordinates
A. E. McCoy
The launch of the Fermi telescope in 2008 opened up the possibility of measuring the energy dependence of the speed of light by considering the time delay in the arrival of gamma r…
