Which is Harder: To Know the Past or To Predict the Future Miscellaneous Idea and Concept. Something to think about, not relating to any particular topic, event or person. I would like to begin this quarter review of thoughts on both the past and the future. First it appears to be easier to predict the future than to guesstimate the past. For instance predicting the future seems to be much easier than that of the work of archeologists trying to piece together what happened based on clues and forensics. And to this point I wish to bring to point a few recent works. One is the work done by Stephen Wolfram where he shows how simple programs develop ex ...

Today's Featured Articles: Factors That Will Affect Sperm Health The Sperm DNA Integrity assay (SDIA) like the Sperm Chromatin Structure Assay (SCSA) is a tool for measuring clinically important properties of sperm nuclear chromatin integrity. Chromatin is that portion of the cell nucleus which contains the entire DNA of the nucleus in animal or plant cells. The results correlate well with the potential of sperm from a given male to produce embryos that would be sufficiently “competent to produce a live birth. The SDIA utilizes the metachromatic features of acridine orange (AO), a DNA probe, and the principles of flow cytometry (FCM). S ... Author: Dr. Mike Berkley CLICK HERE TO READ THE REST OF THIS ARTICLE The Measurement Problem in Quantum Mechanics Arguably the most intractable philosophical question attached to Quantum Mechanics (QM) is that of Measurement. The accepted (a.k.a. Copenhagen) Interpretation of QM says that the very act of sentient measurement determines the outcome of the measurement in the quantum (microcosmic) realm. The wave function (which describes the co-existing, superpositioned, states of the system) "collapses" following an act of measurement. It seems that just by knowing the results of a measurement we determine its outcome, determine the state of the system and, by implication, the state of the Universe ...
