Some Gravitational Instantons
Don N. Page
All known gravitational instantons with ( and $CP # \overline{CP}^2$) are described. They are all special cases of the Taub-NUT- local solution…
Symmetric-Bounce Quantum State of the Universe
Don N. Page
A proposal is made for the quantum state of the universe that has an initial state that is macroscopically time symmetric about a homogeneous, isotropic bounce of extremal volume a…
Why the Kirnberger Kernel Is So Small
Don N. Page
Defining the musical interval of the Kirnberger kernel, or Kirn-kern, to be one-twelfth the atom of Kirnberger, or the difference between a grad and a schisma, its natural logarith…
Do Our Observations Depend upon the Quantum State of the Universe?
Don N. Page
Generically the probabilities of observational results depend upon both the quantum state and the rules for extracting the probabilities from it. It is often argued that inflation…
Possible Anthropic Support for a Decaying Universe: A Cosmic Doomsday Argument
Don N. Page
I have suggested that one possible solution of the Boltzmann brain problem is that the universe is decaying at an astronomical rate, making it likely to decay within 20 billion yea…
The Born Rule Dies
Don N. Page
The Born rule may be stated mathematically as the rule that probabilities in quantum theory are expectation values of a complete orthogonal set of projection operators. This rule w…
