The Philosophical Hilbert Space
This article draws a fascinating parallel between the abstract realms of quantum mechanics and philosophy. It proposes considering philosophical inquiry as navigating through a "Philosophical Hilbert Space" (PHS) – a conceptual expanse akin to the infinite dimensions of Hilbert space in quantum theory. The article explores how philosophical positions can be envisioned as points or vectors within this space, existing in states of superposition until the act of argumentation or formulating a concrete theory causes a "collapse" into a defined stance, much like wave function collapse in quantum measurements. It also delves into the interconnectedness and "entanglement" of ideas across different philosophical domains, mirroring the phenomenon of quantum entanglement. The article concludes by suggesting that embracing this quantum-inspired view of philosophy could revolutionize our approach to metaphysical exploration, just as quantum mechanics transformed our understanding of the physical world.
What Companies Hire Data Scientists?
Data Science, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, is slated to be one of the most lucrative careers in the next ten years.
The Health Implications of Protein
Are the protein recommendations too low? The leading nutritional scientist studying protein thinks so.
Neurotransmitters and the Gut Microbiome
The nervous system has a strong connection to the gut microbiome. In fact, the gut microbiome has the largest concentration of neurotransmitters of any bodily area outside of what is conventionally understood as the nervous system, namely the brain and spinal cord.
The Lymphatic System and Disease
This “scientific spotlight” was published for the childhood education company ‘Know Yourself,’ and teaches about the lymphatic system and its integral relationship with the immune system.
Clean Air and Lung Health
Clean air is vital to healthy lungs. Yet, the places where most people live lack good air quality, largely due to air pollutants and other environmentally unfriendly practices.
Behaviorism and the Philosophy of Mind
The nature of mind —in particular, its qualitative character— can be understood through the observation of behavior from a 3rd-person perspective. This is especially the case if one is intimately acquainted with the subject in question’s behavior.
The Science of Vitamin C
“An apple a day keeps the doctor away!” That common phrase has some truth to it, as vitamin C —a nutrient that apples are rich in— can prevent scurvy. Learn more about the history and scientific facts of vitamin C in this article published for ‘Know Yourself,’ the childhood education company.
Aerobic Versus Anaerobic Exercise Games
Aerobic exercise is defined by its use of oxygen, and anaerobic is defined by its lack of use of oxygen, but instead, body fat and glycogen. Aerobic exercise is long distance, whereas anaerobic is short-term and high-intensity.
The Integumentary System
The integumentary system consists of the skin, hair, and nails, which are united in their function of being the external-most layers of our bodies. But how do they differ?
Fun with The Nervous System
Here, we have two engagement activities that the author, Daniel Lehewych, wrote for the childhood education company, Know Yourself, for the Nervous System.
Can Pharmacogenetics Improve Mental Health?
Mental health took a dip in a substantial percentage of the population because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Pharmacogenetics can help by streamlining and individualizing psychiatric care.
