"The #quantum measurement problem, often framed in terms of an ill-defined 'collapse of the wavefunction,' may find a more natural resolution in understanding measurement as a specific type of interaction that actualizes a determinate #pattern from a spectrum of #autaxic potentialities, governed by contextual factors and the inherent rules of #autaxys"

"the wave-particle duality of #quantum entities, a persistent conceptual puzzle, can be re-envisioned within #autology not as a contradictory nature of fixed 'things,' but as different modes of manifestation or interaction of underlying #autaxys #patterns, dependent on the observational context and the scale of interaction"

How long will our universe last? Well, it looks like there is a definite end to the most robust pieces of our cosmos: Even the dead remnants of stars, i.e. black holes, neutron stars and white dwarfs will eventually decay. This is based on the realization that Hawking radiation is part of a more general process that leads to the decay of gravitational fields. Luckily slowly…

"A new study has found that such heavy metals may have formed through eruptions on a rare type of star called a magnetar."
