A View From the Top
Thinking of causation as a "two-way street"—along which the passage of information can be inverted—could have implications for the origin of life.
Classic Article: Black Holes, Paradox Regained
In 2004, Stephen Hawking famously conceded that black holes do not devour all information when they swallow matter—seemingly resolving the "black hole information paradox" that had perplexed physicists for decades. But some argue that the paradox remains open, and we must abandon our simple picture of spacetime to unravel it.
Quantum Biology: Making Waves in the Natural World
Could quantum effects explain the mechanisms behind smell, photosynthesis and bird navigation?
The Accidental Universe
Have we been fooled into seeing one form of reality, with particular fundamental forces and laws, based on the peculiar way that we have chosen to measure time?
The Cosmic Hologram
Is our universe an illusion projected backward in time from the future?

Sorry, this is missing from the above post:The constants of Nature are Observationally varied by the Observers who are detecting them, at a certain instant in Time.

The Constants of Nature are "fixed" into physical Laws within the Universe. The fixing paramiter is of course Time, we place a value on testable quantities "now", in the present time.
In GR and within QM, both allow the Constants of Nature to be fixed, but both QM and GR allow the "effects" of the constants to be varied!
In QM, there is the Law of observation, in GR there is also the Law of observation, both theories are WRT position and momenum, encased within a reference frame of...
