A Hidden Gold Mine: Counter-Intuitive Science
The formal structure of modern science is hiding the fact that science by and large is an intuition-driven enterprise, lubricated with logical obviousness, and common sense. What else is not up front is the fact that every bit of science as developed today is emerging out of no other but from a brain shaped up and constructed by what is known today as the Darwinian Evolution. This process, this evolution, is an accumulation of reactions of a living population to a very partic

Scientific Validation of Mysticism
Mysticism is a human effort to go beyond what science allows, cross over beyond reasonability, stride in the land of the paradox. Historically the formal establishment of science and logic has pooh-poohed mysticism as baseless rubbish. However science today (or tomorrow) reluctantly and painfully is coming to admit our imprisonment in Darwin's cage. As published in " Applied Physics Research " Vol 17 no 2, 2025 the entire body of scientific knowledge is trapped in limitations

What if Reality is Complexity at its Core?
It has been the most consistent, the most unchallenged premise of the scientific method: reality is determined by one or few simple rules. The observed complexity emerges from repeat application of a very simple algorithm. Every one is busy searching for that algorithm (The Theory of Everything). In light of the Darwin barrier [ see publication ] one wonders. As we evolved our ability to extract data from the environment was much more efficient than our ability to infer usefu

Meta Darwin Cosmology
We are trying to break through "Darwin's Cage" and discover the parts of reality that were overlooked by our Darwinian evolution brain. See " Negotiating Darwin's Barrie r" Applied Physics Research Vol 17 No 2. The methodology: Running BitMint AIAI to propose theories of nature which are as far as possible from the current ones, then using AI to build support to these theories on the basis of relevant data. Reporting here some of these AIAI generated 'distant theories' Challe

Inferential Mathematics: Where the Next Boom Happens
Do You Know The Secret for NVIDIA success? NIVDIA chips implement ground breaking inferential mathematics which gives them the oomph and the bang. But this is well veiled by claims of hardware advancements -- which are there, but less impactful. Chinese AI leaped forward, not on hardware but on a new mathematics. This focus on inferential mathematics was pointed to by InnovationSP early on. It prompted us in BitMint to clear the table and develop a brand new approach to math

Physics, Phases: Objectivity, Subjectivity, Creativity
Newton and his cohorts treated physics and reality as a lab specimen to be examined, treating themselves as the objective fair examiners of what there is. It did not cross their mind that this "lab specimen" -- reality -- is aware of it being examined, and it responds to the same. Not a shred of suspicion, so all their observations were considered by them fair and objective, and of course their logical analysis of the results was deemed a universal reasoning that was beyond d

Negotiating Darwin's Barrier: Space is Massless matter, is moved by Radiation, and is Expressed with the Geometry of Distances
Einstein taught us that space is not the abstract straight lines Newton believed space to be, but a malleable entity that can curve internally, not in reference to a higher dimension space. It leads to interpretation of space as a spread of massless matter affected by mass-bearing matter. Similarly space moves in response to local radiation, carrying that radiation along allowing the radiation source to be interpreted as a transformed localized mass (voiding the dilemma of th

Physics Ahead: Refine, or Find?
The far-reaching claim of the "Darwin's Cage" hypothesis is that we are blind to an unbound body of physics that is real and lurking. The human brain, so the Darwin-Cage hypothesis says, has been formed in the process of the Darwinian evolution, namely, in response to elements of reality that had a survival impact on the "evolvers". Since there is no other mechanism for brain wiring, one concludes that the human brain has no means to consider (and the human body has no means

Is God a Cryptographer?
One of the most intriguing books penned by the illustrious Mario Livio asked the provocative question: "Is God a Mathematician?". My 100 years old father read it and discussed it with Professor Livio. Riding on this title I propose the question: "Is God a Cryptographer?" The question came to mind in my lively discussions about physics. Quite a few readers of my recent article in Applied Physics Research "Negotiating the Darwin Barrier" have stayed their ground, siding with th

Between Turing Machines and Quantum Computers, Nano-Analog May be in the Future of Computing
Turing machines are approaching their limit. Quantum computers are struggling with coherence, and with the missing knowledge regarding both interference and entanglement. Between these two big categories we find the new generation of the oldest computers: Analog! Despite being first on the scene, analog computers surrendered the stage to digital machinea. The latter were simpler, scaleable, easy to miniaturize, and most critically, better with error correction. Digital comput

Energy Economy AI: The Prime Challenge and How to Meet it
Left to the current trend, AI, using "Brute Force" computing is gradually depleting power generation stations which are needed in places where they cannot be avoided. This defines "Energy Economy AI" as the challenge of the day. The BitMint team is working on matching data resolution to decision difficulty, and expecting to thereby cut power reequreemnt by 2/3! Today AI engines over-analyze simple cases and under-analyze complex cases. There are more simple cases than there a

Evolutionary Milestone: Looking into Reality beyond Survival
Applied Physics Research Journal publised "Negotiating Darwin's Barrier" (Vol 17, No 2) arguing that an unbound body of physics is waiting to be discovered. This blog is a commentary on the article. When we struggled to survive (We means the entire chain of evolution from single cell to singular human brain), we could not afford to allocate resources to sense and make sense from any parts of reality which did not pose a mortal threat. If we had ventured into learning reality

A Physicist Against Negotiating Darwin's Barrier
Note: In its October biannual issue Applied Physics Research published "Negotiating Darwin Barrier" pointing out to the existence of an unknown part of reality we are not aware of. Physicists became alarmed. One dialogue is copied here. He is a noted and accomplished physicist and he put it bluntly: "You may be right, and indeed our Darwinian brain keeps large parts of reality off limits. I say - let it stay there. We have enough with what we see, a wonderful world both in th

Plato's Cave, Einstein's Dice, Darwin's Cage
If this thesis is solid, then it can't be overshadowed by anything else humanity is busy with. Alas, it is not falsifiable so according to Karl Popper it does not qualify as a theory of science. It does qualify though as the most important challenge facing humanity even only on its persistent prospect to be of claimable validity. Plato described humanity as people in a cave watching moving shadows, interpreting these shadows as what reality has to offer. When one cave dweller

Darwin 2.0: "God is back"!
For a scientific elaboration of this blog check Applied Physics Research Journal: "Negotiating Darwin's Barrier ( here ) With data, erudition and articulation Charles Robert Darwin "killed God" and offered the role of creator to a series of specific survival threats shaping up our biological evolutionary track. The flip side of this stunning revelation is that any part of reality that did not pose a survival threat -- did not do any "creation". The familiar evolving living en
