Is science inconsistent?
There has always been interest in inconsistency in science, not least within science itself as scientists strive to devise a consistent picture of the universe. Some important early landmarks in this history are Copernicus’s criticism of the Ptolemaic picture of the heavens, Galileo’s claim that Aristotle’s theory of motion was inconsistent, and Berkeley’s claim that the early calculus was inco...
متن کاملparadigm can accommodate multiple low inflation scales
Recent arguments show that some curvaton field may generate the cosmological curvature perturbation. As the curvaton is independent of the inflaton field, there is a hope that the fine-tunings of inflation models can be cured by the curvaton scenario. More recently, however, D.H.Lyth discussed that there is a strong bound for the Hubble parameter during inflation even if one assumes the curvato...
متن کاملInconsistent Universe – Physics as a meta - science –
Physics is introduced as a semantics of a formal set theory. We consider a metatheory of a formal set theory S. We name this metatheory MS, indicating that it is a Meta-theory of S as well as a Meta-Scientific theory as Ronald Swan [1] refers to. The following arguments are all made in MS. We define in MS φ = the class of all well-formed formulae of S. This φ is a countable set in the context o...
متن کاملExploiting Conflict Structures in Inconsistent Databases
Given an inconsistent database that violates a set of (conditional) functional dependencies, a minimal attribute-based repair is a database that satisfies the dependencies, and minimally differs from the original database in the set of attribute values that have been changed. For an inconsistent database, we define a basic conflict as a minimal set of attribute values, of which at least one nee...
متن کاملSpinal circuits can accommodate interaction torques during multijoint limb movements
The dynamic interaction of limb segments during movements that involve multiple joints creates torques in one joint due to motion about another. Evidence shows that such interaction torques are taken into account during the planning or control of movement in humans. Two alternative hypotheses could explain the compensation of these dynamic torques. One involves the use of internal models to cen...
