In this paper, we:
*Establish the notion of epistemic curvature
*Demonstrate the utility of this framework with a rigorous worked example from string theory.
Aristotelean logic has been unsatisfactory in the quantum world. Measurement scenarios are context-based, due to locality, and require a local-to-global gluing tool.
FAs come to the rescue. With sheaf-like structure, we ranslate between different epistemic frameworks seamlessly.

@codewiz I've argued that confirmation bias has become a pillar of modern #science. Otherwise we wouldn't still have these fallacies of #darkmatter, #stringtheory, and the #multiverse.
Part of the problem is if you don't make a: (1) falsifiable and (2) prediction all you're left with is proverbially searching under a street light for the keys to your tenure promotion (or Nobel prize!)

2/2…many are generally confused by a certain cadre of #Physicists on the one hand describing tools from #StringTheory they know and love on while calling out it’s flaws on the other (that generally being the failure to cough up a viable #TheoryOfEverything) while failing to mention that these are problems with which the entirety of #Physics has also failed at spectacularly. Watch and you’ll know when folks r using string theory tools as explainers while dissing string theory.

1/2 The intersection of #TheoreticalPhysics, #QuantumComputation and #InformationComplexity represents the leading edge of Science and technology in many areas.Advanced students & researchers looking at new questions can avail themselves of videos like this w/ #DanielHarlow and #BrianGreene via WorldScienceFestival:

In The "Three body problem" the Trisolarians destroy human ability to do basic physics research, because that is the only meaningful way humans can defend themselves against the aliens.
The alien invasion fleet will take 120 years to arrive.
I see parallels with human physics being sabotaged. Our brightest physicists and universities, elevated #stringtheory to a religion...
..and just like religion, it has absolutely no scientific basis.
40+ years of human progress wasted.
Some folks speculate that "Three body problem" is #China soft #Disclosure (in light of this key concept).

PhD student position
Join our institute in Potsdam, Germany! We offer an ERC-funded PhD student positions at the @mpi_grav in Potsdam.
We are particularly interested in hiring creative, proactive and motivated candidates who flourish at working in a vibrant, interdisciplinary and synergistic group. Successful candidates will join the research group “Symmetries in Gravity and Amplitudes” with the Quantum Gravity and Unified Theories division.
The PhD research will focus on mathematical structures of scattering amplitudes, more specifically amplitudes associated with Riemann surfaces as they appear in string theory.
The successful applicant will conduct their research projects at the AEI in Potsdam, and they will have to enrol and receive their PhD degree from the Humboldt University in Berlin. The expected duration of the PhD is three to four years. Applicants are required to have a Master degree by the start of the PhD program.

Deadline for full consideration: 15 January 2025
