Conscious experience versus conscious thought
Are there different constraints on theories of conscious experience as against theories of conscious propositional thought? Is what is problematic or puzzling about each of these phenomena of the same, or of different, types? And to what extent is it plausible to think that either or both conscious experience and conscious thought involve some sort of selfreference? In pursuing these questions ...
متن کاملGod, Fine-Tuning, and the Problem of Old Evidence
The fundamental constants that are involved in the laws of physics which describe our universe are finely tuned for life, in the sense that if some of the constants had slightly different values life could not exist. Some people hold that this provides evidence for the existence of God. I will present a probabilistic version of this fine-tuning argument which is stronger than all other versions...
متن کاملThe Supersymmetric Fine-Tuning Problem and TeV-Scale Exotic Scalars
A general framework is presented for supersymmetric theories that do not suffer from fine-tuning in electroweak symmetry breaking. Supersymmetry is dynamically broken at a scale Λ ≈ (10∼ 100) TeV, which is transmitted to the supersymmetric standard model sector through standard model gauge interactions. The dynamical supersymmetry breaking sector possesses an approximate global SU(5) symmetry, ...
متن کاملCOSMOLOGICAL FINE TUNING , SUPERSYMMETRY AND THE GAUGE HIERARCHY PROBLEM Piotr
We study the extent to which the cosmological fine-tuning problem why the relic density of neutralino cold dark matter particles χ is similar to that of baryons is related to the fine-tuning aspect of the gauge hierarchy problem how one arranges that MW ≪ MP without unnatural choices of MSSM parameters. Working in the minimal supergravity framework with universal soft supersymmetry-breaking par...
متن کاملThe Fine-tuning Problem in Little Higgs Models
Little Higgs models represent an alternative to Supersymmetry as a solution to the Hierarchy Problem. After introducing the main physical ideas of these models, we present the fine-tuning associated to the electroweak breaking in Little Higgs scenarios. Taking into account the most general properties of this scenarios and focusing on two representative “Little Higgs” models, we find that the fi...
