The Virtual Reality Conjecture (by Brian Whitworth): Abstract: We take our world to be an objective reality, but is it? The assumption that the physical world exists in and of itself has struggled to assimilate the findings of modern physics for some time now. For example, an objective space and time would just "be", but in relativity, space contracts and time dilates. Likewise objective "things" should just inherently exist, but the entities of quantum theory are probability of existence smears, that spread, tunnel, superpose and entangle in physically impossible ways.

Has CERN Found the God Particle? A Calculation [in 2011] (by Philip E. Gibbs): Abstract: Following the CERN announcement on December 13, 2011, physicists have been giving some very different assessments of the chances that the ATLAS and CMS detectors have seen the Higgs boson. Combining the three things I will consider, I get an overall probability for such a strong signal if there is no Higgs to be about 1 in 30. Perhaps I have failed to account for combinations where more than one of these effects could combine.

Existential Mechanics Part III: The Creation of Experience by the Individual (by Steven E. Kaufman): Abstract: This article describes the limitations that are inherent in the Individual’s creation of experience, both within a given level of Reality and between levels of Reality, owing to the nature of experience as being the product of a relation in which the Individual that is apprehending the experience must always be involved.

Introduction to Existential Mechanics: How the Relations of Existence to Itself Create the Structure of Reality and What We Experience as Reality (by Steven E. Kaufman): Abstract: This article presents a general description of how the iterative relations of Existence to Itself create two different realities; 1) Realties that are composed of Existence as it is being in relation to Itself, which Realties or Relational Structures, taken together, make up the Structure of Reality, and; 2) realities that are not composed of Existence,

Nonlinear Theory of Elementary Particles Part XIII: On the Spectra of Elementary Particles (by Alexander G. Kyriakos): Abstract: Analogically to the representations of classical theory of electromagnetic waves, whose non-linear generalization our theory is, we assume that the reason of appearance of elementary particles’ spectra is the superposition of simple (harmonic) nonlinear (de Broglie) waves, and the reason of disintegrations of particles is the disintegration of the compound nonlinear waves.
