Many have attempted a solution to the Zeno’s paradoxes, including Peter Lynds in his papers "Time and Classical and Quantum Mechanics: Indeterminacy vs. Discontinuity" and "Zeno’s Paradoxes: A Timely Solution". Peter Lynds’ solutions have been widely accepted by the peers. To me, Lynds and others have overlooked the moot point. Even if the uncertainties in measurement of distance and time interval were removed Zeno’s paradoxes would still stand unsolved. The actual events satisfying Zeno’s implicit conditions are totally different — Achilles does never catch the tortoise, it is never possible to complete a journey (the dichotomy problem) or the arrow can never be in motion since it is frozen in a box at any instant. This is because Zeno is, and we are, attempting something that is not permitted in nature — Zeno’ paradoxes assume the improbable — that we could change and control our ability to observe an event, spanning an interval of time, arbitrarily, from an infinitesimally small value to a infinitely large value.

This 4 Brain Theory is a new scientific attempt to create a Theory of Everything. This 4 Brain Theory of Everything can be viewed as a Scientific Expansion of Plato’s Cave to create a new Physical Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics, with a Quantum Scattering Dark-Matter Theory of Quantum Gravity, Quantum Entanglement, Quantum Information, Quantum Computing, and Quantum Consciousness.

Space and time hold the main and leading positions among these fundamental categories, since all forms of matter, existing as physical reality (PR), lie and exist in space and in time. Before the end of the nineteenth century, for more than three millennia, science had dominated by the view of a kind of continuous medium referred to as "ether", which fills all space and penetrates all objects, but remains intangible for a human being.However, by the early twentieth century, the situation in science had dramatically changed. Following the famous Michelson and Morley's experiments, and according to A. Einstein's "special theory of relativity" (STR), the concept of "ether" was completely expunged from science because it was "unprovable" and later "unnecessary".

The usefulness of the analysis is presented. Some history of the question related to Einstein is given along with the supposed motivation for asking it. Questions are asked about the meaning of the starting question. What is meant by ‘the Moon?, and what is meant by: there? The lack of precision of the question is identified. The biology of vision is briefly discussed. What is an observer? is considered. For completeness ‘What is a question?’ And, ‘Where is a question?’ are also discussed. Further evidence of unseen and unmeasured existence is given. This paper concerns Metaphysics.

A shorter, revised paper focused on the basketball thought experiment, assuming familiarity with the Schrödinger's cat thought experiment, to which there is frequent reference. Analysis of ‘Is the Moon there when nobody looks?’ has been left out as it can be separately read. As has other evidence of the unseen and unmeasured existing.Rules of the game are set out as is the apparatus. Where there is logical similarity to the Schrödinger's cat thought experiment it is pointed out. The game ends when the first basket is scored i. As is the implication of having an observer observe the observer. i.e. not directly observing the outcome acquired from a player.

I try to expand the horizon of archaic mathematics leading to the Unified Theory of mathematics and physics. I explore the implications of my newly propounded Mathematical Structure Hypothesis (MSH), which explains naturally the Unreasonable Effectiveness of Mathematics in Physics/Natural Sciences. .It will concentrate on what governs the physics behind mathematical structures of equations itself which is considered to be just existing in Level IV multiverse of Max Tegmark. It will unify External reality with Copenhagen as a matter of Eternal Vibration. It explains the relevant topics like randomness, complexity, Gödel’s Incompleteness, Consciousness,Paradoxes among others based on MSH. That paves way to evolution of mathematics as how to fundamentally remove inconsistencies by allowing time and reference dimension to make maths dynamic in contrast to perception that mathematics exists in timeless space unlike physics even if causation is experienced. Abstract: MSH Unifies Maths & Physics.

Some properties of general fields are reviewed. Electrostatics is a natural, universal paradigm, part of classical field theory. Newton's Gravity Theory, on the other hand, has properties that suggest a quantum origin, via an internal property akin to spin. Such an abstract "internal" property breaks isotropy of pointwise singularities of fields, yielding an attractive force. Theory of Gravity based on the quark structure of nucleons is consistent with the above considerations.

Choosing premises, or first principles, or base of argument, from which further deductions are made. Discussion of the following subjects: Existence, space from an argument about object permanence and the question: is the Moon there when nobody looks?, vision: seen things, categorization error, time; answering what does uni-temporal mean?, measurements (likened to scores), beables, the relation of existing and probability and scores, quantum physics including what happens to results not measured, an answer to: what is quantum mechanics about? Superposition including description of and historyand analysis of schrödinger’s cat thought experiment, the entanglement idea, thought experiment showing ‘unspooky’ correlation is to be expected, predicting the effect of non quantum correlations.

This is an informal overview in support of "antigravity", as a real, observable and reproducible phenomenon, that now we begin to understand.This corresponds to the highest energy level of interaction of two nucleons, nuclear spin de-pendent, in addition to the state that yields Newtonian Gravity, which is an average over spindirections, achieving a lower energy level, attractive at equilibrium, and much weaker effectiveforce (Hierarchy Problem).The Standard Model based Theory of Gravity is recalled.Some of the lab experimental methods to control gravitational interaction are reviewed: microwave Dynamical Nuclear Orientation (Polarization) based (Alzofone, Hutchinson a.a.) androtation based, which requires superconductivity (Podkletnov, Ning Li) to take advantage of theproperties of the Bose-Einstein condensate.Other observations and methods supporting the theory and experiments, are recalled.A program to help implement the technology, within the new paradigm in Physics, is proposed:open source research and implementation.

A short and informal essay proposing a modification to the delayed-choice quantum eraser experiment by including time crystals as an additional feature. The possible results or outcomes are considered including speculations on possible applications and philosophical interpretations. A proposed experiment using two observers at three points in time and a bank of delayed-choice quantum erasers each linked to a time crystal might either show we live in a multiverse, possibly send messages back in time, or redefine or even refute the current understanding of the nature of time crystals. The hope is that this proposal can help the debate over the nature of the delayed-choice quantum eraser experiment and help further clarify the nature of time crystals and even the role of conscious observers in quantum eraser experiments.

A fundamental split in the foundations of physics developed in the 1930s, between relativity and quantum mechanics, which has remained unresolved. De Broglie first derived quantum waves in 1924, directly from special relativity, and Einstein approved. But in Germany in 1930s, the Na[zis] viewed relativity or anything related to Einstein as subversive "Je[wish] Physics". I argue that German physicists obscured the relativistic basis for quantum mechanics, in order to avoid dismissal or worse. Early German QM textbooks led to a split in the foundations of physics that has continued to the present. An alternative "quantum relativity" picture could reunify physics, but has never been considered. Such a unified picture may be important both for education and for the future evolution of physics.
