I apologise to the countries of the world for the shameful warmaking of President Bush during the last 8 years.
These actions were not supported by millions of people in the USA
News Flash:
Brain imaging results on how chronic pain harms the brain.
- For the manuscript, movies and some additional material click here.
- For Clips of the early media impact of the paper click here.
Some questions I am interested:
- How Nature works ?
- What are the fundamental laws of the physics of life?
- How complexity emerges from simplicity? Complexity is always criticality?
- Could we manipulate cancer to extinction (as the dinosaurs)? Why we die and cancer cells not?
- How is that my brain is conscious? Can we formalize an empirical thermodynamics of consciousness?
- Was Galileo right in explaining consonance-disonance as constructive interference? If so, is music an illusion?
- Is my brain critical? ; and my behavior? ; and the physics underlying both?
