  • His career is partially encapsulated in his coinages: wormhole, black hole, the planck length and time, quantum foam, the sum over histories, the S-matrix, It from Bit, the wavefunction of the Universe.

  • To make the claim that we know anything about the universe before the planck time is just plain old dishonest.

  • For E = h-bar omega I guess you can refer to planck blackbody, and make a leap that it will hold for matter waves as well (just like deBroglie did!)

    Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Quantum Mechanics, But Were Afraid to Ask Sean 2008

  • What is the equivelant in QM?. .and why must this equation, if triggered in/on, a quantum scale, have instant and far reaching consequnece for conversion process, ie from one local quantum horizon, planck scale? .. to say the edge of the observable Universe?

    The Lopsided Universe Sean 2008

  • I share your intuition that a gravitational collapse to the planck density is very unlikely to bounce into a homogeneous region.

    Against Bounces Sean 2007

  • I am advocating the exact opposite that, physics is not classical or even semi-classical at all at the planck scale.
