| Subject: Theory of Quantum Space-Time
Date: Wed, 07 Jul 2004 13:03:01 +0300 From: Dimi Chakalov <dimi@chakalov.net> To: Lane P Hughston <lane.hughston@kcl.ac.uk> CC: Dorje C Brody <d.brody@imperial.ac.uk>, [snip] Dear Professor Hughston, May I ask two questions regarding your recent "Theory of Quantum Space-Time" (gr-qc/0406121 v1, 29 June 2004, submitted to Royal Society). You and Dorje Brody postulated that "space-time events are themselves infinite-dimensional Hermitian matrices", and suggested that the concept of a quantum state "emerges when we ask for consistent ways of 'averaging' over the geometry of quantum space-time in order to obtain a reduced description of phenomena in terms of the geometry of Minkowski space." I wonder if you and/or Dorje can solve the puzzle of transition from classical to quantum, http://God-does-not-play-dice.net/Yang.html#1 My second question is related to your field of expertise, mathematical finance and risk management. I wonder if you can include the phenomenon of Synchronicity. Please see some startling examples in [Ref. 1], which I quoted at http://God-does-not-play-dice.net/Feedback.html#August_6_2001 Regards, Dimi Chakalov
