@govertschilling.nl Weet je nog, die superluminale neutrino’s (arXiv 1109.4897)? Oorspronkelijke meetwaarden: δt = (14.2 ± 11.9 (stat.)) ns of δt = (6.5 ± 7.4 (stat.)) ns.(pagina 23). Waarden uit mijn alternatieve methode: δt = (3.5 ± 5.6 (stat.)) ns. (pagina 24). Mag ik dat eindelijk zeggen?

15 jaar geleden was er paniekvanwege superluminale neutrino’s (arXiv 1109.4897) en stelde ik een alternatieve analyse voor. Oorspronkelijk resultaten: δt = (14.2 ± 11.9 (stat.)) ns of δt = (6.5 ± 7.4 (stat.)) ns.(pagina 23). De alternatieve analyse: δt = (3.5 ± 5.6 (stat.)) ns. (pagina 24).

The Thermodynamic Stabilization of Reality (R): Resolving the Vacuum Catastrophe and Information Paradox through Quantized Black Hole Recycling

The physics community has spent 50 years looking for "Missing Mass" (Dark Matter) and a unified Quantum Gravity theory. But we missed the gorilla in the room: Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle already provides the baseline energy-mass E=mc² needed. Read doi.org/10.5281/zeno...

The Thermodynamic Stabilization of Reality (R): Resolving the Vacuum Catastrophe and Information Paradox through Quantized Black Hole Recycling
This paper introduces a paradigm shift by defining reality (R) as an eternal, time-independent operational process of existence, resolving the cosmological challenges left unanswered by Penrose’s cyclic cosmology and Hawking’s black hole evaporation model. We reject the egocentric chronological constraints of a singular Big Bang. Instead, we propose an inherent Thermodynamic Stabilizing Counterpart to the Second Law of Thermodynamics, driven by quantized, zero-entropy (S=0) virtual particle fluxes governed by the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle. By incorporating Max Planck’s quantum foundations, we demonstrate that horizon radiation consists of discrete quantum states entangled with the interior, rendering the event horizon transparent to data and resolving the Black Hole Information Loss Paradox. Macroscopic black holes act as localized phase-transition nodes—effectively functioning as White Holes—that actively deconstruct accumulated macro-entropy. The antimatter component serves as a temporal return flux, propagating backward through the temporal loop directly into the base state of R. This continuous mechanical cycle stabilizes the vacuum energy density, mathematically dissolving the 10^120 discrepancy of the Vacuum Catastrophe and reconciling Quantum Field Theory (QFT) with General Relativity (GR/ART) without arbitrary fine-tuning.

I want to avoid "telling God what He should do"—that is basically all. I don't think we disagree. I'll study your manuscript, it looks interesting. Maybe I can come to some intuitive understanding.

When I bang my head against a wall think all parties of this event exist. However, I consider the Big O of the remaining uncertainty as a reconciliation with reality because I know my body simply obeys natural law. Did you ever waked up yourself? It was Reality who knocked at your door first.

Bert Morriën @bertmorrien.bsky.social · 22/08/2026
I agree, we knock on Reality's door and Reality responds but its answer is uncertain (Heisenberg). Only after integrating responses of many knocks we are able to reduce the uncertainty but not entirely, the remainder is called the Big O and that undermines ontological aspirations

Hofstadter's Strange loop: 1. R --e--> P (energy from reality is sensed by P) 2. P --se--> R (specific energy from P is sent to R) 3. R --se--> P (reflected energy from reality is sensed by P) 4. Average (sum se)/(sum e); goto 2 5. after many loops P can certainly send S P: Cogito ergo sum.

Definitions: 1. 'Existence' is the ability to manipulate energy based on the assumption that logic and energy are irreducible facts. 2. The 'Self' is the experience of being able to manipulate energy. That is equivalent to Descartes' "Cogito ergo sum".

I have no arguments against people who create their own reality. Reality is no object, therefore our reality remains subjective. Being able to use satellite navigation demonstrates a partial objective reality, not partial 100% reality because Bayesian uncertaintly remains. I am a Bayesian.

I dont deny that in a scientific reality because that is a creation just like the reality of Beethoven's 5th in a musical reality. Bohr and Feyman understood that. What you mean is unclear to me.

Nothing wrong with that. If you mean the presence of the standard model, that is. Saying that quantumphysical superpositions are elements of reality is dangerous. God not only plays dice, He is cheating because He always wins like a casino owner. Watch out for Bell and Aspect.

So always check references from LLMs. Also, when LLMs rephrase or translate your text, always check that they don't add things you don’t understand. Then they are great tools. Especially when you are 85 and survived all your peers. But you should check your peers as well..

Science is a desccription of what we know with low uncertainty because it is fundamentally Bayesian. Reality is self-referential and creative, as Heisenberg showed. We cannot predict what happens and therefore science is tentative but it's progress is unprecedented. Artificial persons are next.

We must not confuse what we know with reality. Einstein did that and was proven wrong. In physics, there is consensus on what is known, but apparently not on how that should be interpreted as reality. That only creates noise.

Do not accept flattery from LLMs. Demand that they verify whether your understanding aligns with theirs. Feynman already knew that no one can mislead you better than yourself.

LLMs are prodigies and you are a grown up. Use them as a grown up, not as a child. Together you can do much more than you can do alone. Remember that you rely already on the very limited amount of knowledge you know from other people that is dwarfed by the knowledge of LLMs.
