Fundamental Theory and Effective Field Theory

It was announced today that Leo Kouwenhoven found Majorana Fermions.

Before I would've pooh-poohed on the news,  and would've said "this is not fundamental." I know better now. In my agnostic mind , there is no difference between what is called Effective Field Theory, and Quantum Field Theory. Steve Weinberg, and Julian Schwinger come to mind. They consciously followed something that could be called High Level Phenomenology. My new Scientific Method, is definitely Phenomenological.

There Are Reasons

I have been advocating in this site for a New Scientific Method, heavily inclined towards methods and computer calculation. It is an agnostic method: I do not know if there is a God, or gods, a Theory of Everything, or theories, and so an so forth. Nevertheless I believe there are Reasons.

Professor David Deutsch published a fundamental book recently, "The Beginning of Infinity", there he argues that explanations work, and humans are the only ones that can translate an explanation into changes in reality. All the Plutonium on Earth is human made, for instance.

If Obama gets elected in November, there are reasons, if the World Ends on December 21, 2012, there are reasons, and so on. Nevertheless it could happen that we will never know the reasons for very important events, for instance: Why at that time of day, I suffered the heart attack, that killed me?

My role is to promote this view, and make it useful. Are there people reading this who want to help?

I've Been Crying Lately

I just read the heart warming piece on Jeremy Ling's family in the NYT; awesome! My eyes are teary.

The other day watching DN!, I saw a video about a father, and daughter team living in a homeless shelter, because they cannot afford better. In The US!

She is a teenage girl; when they asked her, don't your classmates know that you are homeless? She answered; no: Why? They asked her again - they don't ask - she says.

I was crying by then.

I wrote a strong note, Is This It? and posted it in facebook.

Now I am calmer, but yes; I am worried about the turn of events.

I hope we pull through. With the Lins' story; my mind was recharged.

How Societies Change?

Reading Menzies book [link] I feel like, when for whatever reason societies fail, some other groups of people come and take what they can, like in a big  fire sale.

This week's G20 meeting in Mexico (below), rings a bell. Brazil, and the other emergent countries came to see what they can ripoff; and Germany, England, and the US, are nervous, very nervous.

32 New Cacti Species Found in Mexico

Hercilia CASTRO (Correspondent)
Petatlan, February 24. The delegate of the National Institute of Anthropology and History (INAH), Blanca Jimenez Padilla and Rodolfo Lobato Rodriguez researcher reported the existence of 32 species of cacti, cactus-better known as endemic in the archaeological Xihuacan in the town of La Soledad de Maciel.
The delegate said that, after the excavations in the pyramid mound B, INAH plans to work on the rear area of ​​the museum in a botanical garden, "Above all, we want to save all species in the region" .
Was announced that the inventory of cacti species that exist in the area as well as in the archaeological zone of Tehuacalco.
Meanwhile, the archaeologist Rodolfo Lobato Rodriguez reported that 32 endemic species have been recorded in the La Soledad de Maciel, which are already selected and some are under the Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources (SEMARNAT).
"There are cacti, there are many herbs, there are bromeliads, coachalalate stick the coup, and to date the community still continues to use" he said.
Jimenez Padilla said he has been through the support of the locals that researchers have had knowledge of the uses of plants and cacti from the archaeological site of La Soledad de Maciel.
Lobato Rodriguez noted that herbal medicine has been used since pre-Hispanic times, "somehow, we know it, a heritage, intangible cultural heritage."
He added that the use of herbal medicine is so common that often has not considered the cultural heritage means.
"We classified the species, including flowers and plants that were not known, and made an inventory as the patron of the 16th century codex," he said.
The researchers commented that the plant research took them since 2007, and that meant making and study "from population censuses, land, cacti".La Jornada Guerrero

You Must Have a Loose Wire!

That is what you tell them, when they say they have a superluminal neutrino!

What if There are no Laws?

I mean, Physics Laws.

When Professor Douglas Scalapino use to think aloud at UCSB, during my student days, and wondered whether  all charges were many body results, and thus, quarks corresponded to just another configuration of something, I thought to myself, this cannot be, there are Fundamental Laws, and condensed matter regularities.

Well I think I am wiser now, and Doug may have a point.

I feel that science objectivity is not all that it is taken up to be. Recently Professor  Julio César Arce  just posted a paper where he derives the time dependent Schrödinger's equation with Bayes Theory ideas, [arXiv]. Unfortunately he does not discuss the subjective aspect of the construct. I guess chemists and physicists do not get entangled in Philosophy, because we are not trained that way.

Here I do.

If we have a subjective view of reality, then there are no laws, or more properly, whatever we think they are, they are not. There is no time that flows like a river independently of everything else, nor the variable $$t$$ in Schrödinger's equation is what we think it is. I believe that Bayes showed us the way forward; but then, we have to accept, that our science is not fundamental, it is SUBJECTIVE.

Now all these names make more sense to me, ''holon", "spinon-dopon", whatever.

100 Years of Turing!

He proved that some numbers will never be computed. Uncomputable.

Does that mean there are no Laws?

I'm starting to get it. After such a long time. If some numbers are not there, In what sense are there Laws THERE?

I Love Mary!

She had a procedure on her face, I hope she'll be swell!

Baysean?

I just finished Ms. Bertsch McGrayne's book, (below). As a physicist I studied Statistical Mechanics, the frequentist philosophy was enough for us, plenty of data under fixed and repeatable conditions. I did not have any idea of the minefield of Bayes Theory in Mathematical Statistics.

Thanks Ms. McGrayne you taught me something, my posterior is different than my prior.

Only recently have I been forced by my experience and ideas to consider a more subjective view of reality. At this point I am in an extreme subjective stage. Knowledge today, is different than yesterday, and tomorrow's, in all fields of science.

Where to from here?

To be a committed Baysean I have to work, and first of all I have to get the conditions conducent for that.

What about a company?

Bayes-Cantoral R&D, or B-C R&D for short?

Thomas Bayes

I am starting the Bayesian stage of my life. I am reading Sharon Bertsch McGrayne book. Fascinating!


"The Theory That Would Not Die: How Bayes' Rule Cracked the Enigma Code, Hunted Down Russian Submarines, and Emerged Triumphant from Two Centuries of Controversy"

There is a lot of work to be done, but now is the time, powerful computers will settle this old issue.

I Love Leza!

My daughter is a leader.

First she left her own environment, the placid private school in Mexico where she grew up, and then went through a home school environment in Warrenville, Illinois. She has told me that it was not easy for her, to then go to Hubble Middle School - BTW the old building was sold, and it is been turned into a shopping mall! - in Wheaton. She became a leader at Wheaton Warrenville South High School; she made several movies with her own crew of groupies, she is a beautiful girl, you know. Then she went to Marlboro College in Vermont, and brought an aspiring artist home with her. After a few years with us, he has to move out, we have been taxed, and my wife and I are not the best financial experts.

Right now she is prepping him up to become a musician-poet, with the help of one of her high school mates.

I Love You Leza!

Secrecy

facebook is selling our secrets. Is that good?

Google blogger has an option to know your location. I just wrote my address, and voilà there is a little map with my house! Am I nuts?

I am an unknown person. I've never had a problem with paparazzi. I hope that less secrets are better for me. Here I go!

Making Good in the USA!

Apple is having a record year, iOS devices are popular. Downloads at a dollar a pop, are a riot!

I just feel sad that the soul of Apple didn't live to see this miracle. If you believe in afterlife, wherever he is, he must have a satisfied face. I admire you so much Steve. At least I am here to enjoy your vision. I feel validated, I predicted this!

He was not the son of Edison, or Ford. He did it all by himself, even when his father abandoned him. That is inspiring, I hate giveaways. So many getting big fortunes by their ancestors, when they as  heirs obviously do not deserve the wealth. There is this Iron Lady in Australia, who is having a big fight with her own children to keep the money her dad left her - Gina Rinehart - I hope I can do better. I explain in this post.

I went back to my country four years ago to make good on Nicholas Negroponte great idea, One Lap Top per Child. I soon found out down under, that I was not allowed, first I had to join a clique of "scientists", that did not accept me back in 1983. I like to exaggerate of course, but this is how I feel right now, anyway. I do expect some breaks though, I did get some, but right now I decided to try my hand again in the U.S. of A..

My main idea is to leverage advances in know-ware, hard-ware, and soft-ware.

There has been so much progress in the last ten years, that I think it is a sin not to take advantage of it. Juan R. Thomas is running for office in Aurora Illinois, his ancestors were slaves. I should be able to make it here.

Thanks for the inspiration, Steve and Juan.

Time, Prediction, and Postdiction

I do not make hypothesis, I am not going to say what time is. What you find here are ideas on how we assign time, the actual methods, actions, and things, that we use.

There is a debate in Philosophy and Statistics having to do with the Frequentist v.s. the Fiducial view. Bayes v.s. the Rest.

In one case we count the possibilities in front of us, and define probability. One Head, One Tail, probability $$\frac{1}{2}$$. The frequency we will find in the future is $$\frac{1}{2}$$. In the other case, we GUESS an answer, $$\frac{1}{2}$$, and then throw the coin for ever and ever, and voilà! We discover that the number of times heads come  is $$\frac{1}{2}\times N$$, where $$N$$ is the number of times we have done the experiment, and where we are willing to change our guess, as we get more and more information.

 One approach looks more into the past, and the other more into the future, thus time appears.

Since for me, time is not a river that flows independently of everything else, I do not know what TIME IS; I hereby define time as the method to know. Bayes against the rest. It is interesting that the river guy, Isaac Newton was in the Royal Society, and Bayes was not in as good standing as Newton in that Society. In my view Bayes has helped his descendants, us, more to understand time than Newton did.

Prediction or Postdiction, that is the Question.

I vote for Bayes, we do not know the future, and will never know. Nevertheless, we can always guess, and on the basis of new information make a better guess.

That is how we get time. I don't know what time is, we will know more and more as we do more experiments, like Michelson and Morley did.

Role?

I'm starting to get nervous. I am fluent in English, and Spanish; my younger relatives seem to be interested in what I write or read.

Am I responsible?

Yes.

I'll try to help the young'uns!

Mexican American

I am a Mexican American Physicist. My father taught me never to be ashamed of my own people. Not all my American relatives feel this way, and sometimes they disassociate themselves from our people. I guess life is easier that way. Identification with the aggressor.

A relative from California has recently been deported to Mexico. We'll be coming, we will be crossing the border, until the end of times. Any thinking person can understand that.

Get over it Americans; Mexicans came to what is now known USA, before any of your ancestors did. It is better to become a respectful neighbor.

Anyway; we will be wherever we want to be, time is long. All we have to do is wait.

We live with memories of hundreds of years, and some of us even thousands. Get over this non-sense!

New Scientific Method

Bayes, Leibniz, and Gauss.

I have written before about my proposal to understand Science. My previous view was that the Universe had Fundamental Laws, we had to crack the code and we will be Masters of the Universe. Now I believe differently. The success of the Scientific Method is based on what we have done, not  necessarily on what the Universe is. Maybe it is what we believe it is, but I am starting to doubt it. Nevertheless it is clear that the Scientific Method works; so my proposal is to analyze what we actually do.

In the seventeen hundreds Thomas Bayes asked himself the inverse question. He wanted to know not what is the probability for a coin to come out heads, but what do I have to do to know what  it is? His answer is simple, first guess any answer, on the basis of the guess, get more information, and change your guess, in a never ending guessing process. This is a subjective way to systematically study the Universe. In my New Scientific Model, it is not wrong to be subjective, as long as one has a way to systematically change the subjective view to get better fits to data.

In Bayes' time this method was not practical, one had to actually throw a coin, over and over again, until one would discover the frequency coming close to one half. For the coin problem, there were short cuts, allowing one to immediately guess the right answer: It can only fall head or tail, so the probability is calculated to be one half, with a dispersion, eventually calculated by Gauss, and other mathematicians of the eighteen hundreds.

Since the beginning of the eighties in the last century, the whole mathematical world completely changed. Now we could use computers, and nobody has to toss coins!

The New Scientific Method, heavily depends on computers. Now Thomas Bayes can have his day in court. I vote for Bayes!

Finally, the program has to be the smallest; Dixit Leibniz.

From My Ancestors to My Descendants

Now  I find myself writing posts to answer the young ones' inquiries. I did know some of the dead ones, and those dead ones won't write our story, "nuestro legado".

Here you have a little note on the subject.

Life nowadays is such, that most of us live to be more than sixty, at least around my environment. Thus, in the best of cases, I have walked two thirds of the way, the people I am thinking of right now, were born seventy to eighty years ago. I am the link to the generation that has walked less than two thirds of the way.

Life is a work of art: It has a beginning, a middle, and an end. Our ancestors were mostly viable, that is why we are here. Now you young ones, should aspire to be likewise, so your little ones can keep moving this experience we call civilization.

I had ideas when I was thirty, that I don't have at sixty. That is not called lack of conviction, it is simply called knowledge. I know more now than then. I am a Bayesian. Thomas Bayes was a clergyman who discovered that probability is the measure of our knowledge, it is not a Law of Nature. We can measure our subjective knowledge, I am happy to report that I have come to terms with that condition. Whoever thinks that there are Natural Laws, and once we discover them, we should be immortal, is in my view; in denial.

Given the level of unemployment in the generation, I am writing this to; I believe we should all look at facts as rationally as we can.

I am thinking of my uncle, Fidel Uriza Castro. One of the clearest minds I have had the privilege to know. My mother used to play Chinese Checkers with him, when I was around thirty; it was such a pleasure to see them, they were grown up children. I could imagine them playing twenty or more years before, with the same fresh minds, and joy. What a pleasure!

Uncle Fidel studied Iatrogenesis. He wrote a paper on that, to become a Medical Doctor, a Physician. Most Physicians won't touch the subject, because it will come to haunt them. It is the study of medically induced harm to patients. How else could we hope to not repeat mistakes, than  acknowledging them, and taking full responsibility for them? It takes courage though; he was a courageous man.

There is no point in telling the younger generation, that everything is O.K. when we can plainly see that they are making a mistake. Tough love? Maybe; but love nonetheless.

I am in his debt. When I got a Mexican Government scholarship to study at the University of California, my folks did not have money for my plane ticket, the scholarship did not cover it.

Fidel Uriza Castro paid for my ticket!

Thanks Uncle Fifi.

Happy Valentine's Mary!

Ferguson, Murray, and the US

I just finished reading Civilization, by Niall Ferguson. There is a new book I will read soon by Charles Murray: Coming Apart.

Ferguson's book marked me. There are connections in my brain which were not there before I read the book. I hope Murray's - of "The Bell Curve" fame - would be as inspiring. Those two men are conservative, and I am  liberal. Most of all though, I am a thinking person.

Read Thomas B. Edsall comments on Murray's new book in the NYT.

These ideas resonate with me, because I was a gifted student, I even got a scholarship by the Mexican government to study at the University of California, Santa Barbara. My son now has a scholarship at the University of Iowa, so  obviously I wonder: Did I pass this gift to my son?

Professor Krugman (no lack of brains here either) also has added to the debate, [link].

Ferguson writes that religious beliefs have more to do with the US success, than I thought before. Many Americans in the past three hundred years, have worked and saved more than people without their beliefs. Since I am not a believer, and work a lot, I have to figure out what their Protestant Ethics, as Max Weber put it, means. Also, and to me more importantly, property rights and the rule of law existed in North America, to a different extent than in my neck of the woods. From the Rio Grande down, there is no Law. Carlos Salinas de Gortari, I believe, is partnering with criminals like Joaquin "Chapo" Guzman, and his ilk.  That is not a Civilization, that is a Criminal Gang Ruling a Country, as Mexican presidential candidate AMLO, says.

Ferguson discovers a recipe for success, that the Chinese are copying now, and the Japanese did before.

All the US has to do, according to this author, is stay the course, and believe more in what has been so successful since 1776.

Charles Murray also is telling us, that poor Whites and Blacks, and I will add Latinos, have to get into the program. The ones that don't, should know the religious saying: Many were called, but only a few were chosen.

2012 is a year of atonement!

Family Saga

Recently I've been sharing photos and information with my nephew, Julio Castro, from Bakersfield California.

I'll try to make a little story here, for the kids, you know. They are curious. I am 62 and have children, nieces and nephews, even grand nieces and nephews.

I have ancestors from Guatemala, Quezaltenango, and Mexico, Huitzuco. My parents met in Iguala, Mexico; my father was buying watermelons to sell in Mexico City, and found a beautiful girl at the main plaza. He had to find out where that princess was from; he found out she was from Huitzuco, and since then, we all have been going to that city in the North part of Guerrero State,  South of Mexico.

During the forties, my father came to the US, because American men were sent to war to the Pacific, and Europe during World War II. He returned to Mexico around 1947 to marry my mother. My older brother was born in 1948, and I was born in 1949. We were born and lived in Mexico City, always near our relatives from Huitzuco. My uncle Andres Figueroa Figueroa, married my grandpa's sister, Juana Uriza Marban. Closer to us though, was uncle Ruben, my mother's brother, who won a Gold Medal in the London Olympics of 1948; by the way, after 64 years the games return to London!

Uncle Andres was War Minister with President Lazaro Cardenas in the late thirties. Cardenas is the best President that Mexico has ever had.

My grandma's brothers all fought against the Mexican dictator Porfirio Diaz. Here is where Julio's branch of the family comes in. He is very curious about his Mexican origins. He is right, he should be very proud of our grand uncles from Huitzuco.

The older son of Natalia Uriza de Castro, was not a son of Abraham Castro, her husband, his name was Rosendo Valencia, and was from a previous marriage, great grandma Natalia was a widow. Abraham accepted though, that Rosendo used his Castro name. Rosendo V. Castro worked in the mercury mine in Huitzuco, he did not like the way Porfirio's people treated the poor miners. Porfirio was the owner of the mine, and great uncle Rosendo was a manager there. Porfirio gave it as a gift to Carmen Romero Rubio, Porfirio's wife. Rosendo joined other courageous men from Hutzuco, the Figueroa Mata brothers, and their cousin, Andres Figueroa Figueroa. When the civil war started in Huitzuco, February 28, 1911; all of Natalia's boys had to join the war. They would've been dead, if they didn't, because Rosendo was a conspirator with Francisco I. Madero. They were, Julio's great grand father, Fidel, and his brothers, Mardonio, Ambrosio, and Abraham Castro Uriza.

After the war, Julio's great grand father, died of encephalitis. He was putting down a fire in Huitzuco, with other town people, he fell from a roof or tree, and hit his head, he got a brain infection. His orphan children, together with his wife Inocencia Ruiz, eventually had to leave Huitzuco. My mother was like a sister with one of them, Irma, she missed her very much. Other siblings were Fidel Castro Ruiz, Julio's grandpa, Abraham Castro, and Elemi.

This story is getting gnarly; Grand Aunt Justina Castro Uriza, sister of my grand mother Tayde, had left Huitzuco with a daughter, Raquel. They lived in Mexico City, where Raquel went to high school, she met Salvador Novo there, a famous Mexican intellectual. Eventually Justina, and Raquel moved to the US, and at some point they took Inocencia (Chenchita) with her orphan kids to Tijuana and California. The girls Irma and Elemi, together with their mother, crossed the border with them to California, and left the boys behind.

Now my mother, Irma, Inocencia, Justina and Raquel are dead. All the errors in this story are mine.

Julio is trying to put the family history together.

Sergio Dolores Flores v.s. Hector Vicario Castrejon

Recently there was a brouhaha, because Dolores Flores' followers got rotten food and ended in the hospital in Mexico. He is running inside the oldest Mexican Party (PRI) for a seat in the Mexican Congress, after his recent position as Mayor of Chilapa ended. Hector Vicario - who lives in Huitzuco, even though he is from Chaucingo, and represents the political interests of the Figueroa Alcocer family in Huitzuco - is vying for the same slot in the PRI.

I believe it was a trick by the Huitzuco people against the Chilapan politician.

One is a Mexican Indian, and the other is not.

I vote for the Indian.

Talk With Jim

O.K. I talked to my wife and with Jim.

He is well, and as smart as always, that was good. Last week I saw a dead friend, Hank, that was sad.

Jim has some ideas, and I do too. Now we need Capital.

Hank and Jim

Last week I was with Hank, he was dead. Now I was with Jim, he looks just like the last time I saw him. He has gone through some rough spots in his life path; but he is O.K.

Maybe I'll join Jlynk R&D.

In any case, I should do it before I have to go to the Williams Family Funeral Homes.

I am reading a Scottish-British-American historian's book, Civilization.

I am at a crossroad; I was born in Mexico City, my favorite team was Chivas, now I am a US resident, and did not feel like watching the Super Ball!

I am not Mexican, and I am not American, WTF!

I am a new breed; I'll try to explain here.

Property, that is the key word. I am in Chapter 3 of Ferguson's book, Civilization. He is trying to understand why the West is winning the world domination war right now. I agree, the US is a better country to live in than Mexico. My children are US citizens, and I am trying to come to terms with my situation.

Hank Maher (1954-2012)

Obituary

We studied together at Benedictine University in Lisle, IL. We are the fourth cohort of a program in the School of Education, to prepare high and middle school science and math teachers . He taught Chemistry at Community High School District 94, in West Chicago.

It was a pleasure to be around Hank; he had a sense of humor that indicated his high intellectual level.

We have lost a great man. I was happy today to be around people that loved him so much.

He is an inspiration for me, I want to be as a teacher, and as a human being, as good as he was.

What touched me the most, was his little granddaughter; coming up front to tell us, that he was the best grandfather.

Best Matching

Julian Barbour explains here, the need for best matching in order to implement Mach's principle.

I had read his book, The End of Time, but is only now, after I thought of a New Scientific Method, that I understand his thoughts.

Mach postulated that an absolute Universe, with an absolute space and time, did have to emerge, if at all, from actual local observables. As Barbour explains in this note, Newton himself had one trouble with his dynamics, but could not solve it; he was forced then to assume, wrongly, that time is absolute.

For Barbour time is not essential in the description, what is essential is to find a guide, his best matching principle, to tell us which motion is real. Time is a local parameter, necessary to find the best match, not very different, than the parameter Topologists use to compare loops that continuously vary to get one shape from another. To change a cup into a doughnut. Time, it would seem, is then just a mathematical abstraction to get the best match.

Neat!

Complexity

Lynn Margulis died recently. She pushed the  idea that mitochondria , cooperate rather than conquer. As complexity increases, we make families, and societies. My students in Chilpancingo are helping each other, together they can do more than alone.

Is There Human Driven Climate Change?

Concrete and Formal

Concrete is different than Formal. As human brains develop we are more able to produce and understand formal ideas, i.e. abstractions.

If an adult is, for whatever reason, not at the formal stage of mind function, for all practical purposes is like a child. Children have to be respected, but they cannot make decisions that affect all of us.

Maybe there are further stages, I pose that, scientists are either at the formal stage, or something even more advanced.

Scientists have to see what others do not see.
