Grounding, conceivability, and the mind-body problem consciousness [x] mind [x] phenomenal [x] epistemic [x] add tag Latest Results for Synthese on 2018-2-01 12:00am Abstract This paper challenges the soundness of the two-dimensional conceivability argument against the derivation of phenomenal truths from physical truths (cf. Chalmers in The conscious mind, Oxford University Press, Oxford, 1996; The character of consciousness, Oxford University Press, Oxford, 2010) in light of a hyperintensional regimentation of… Read more →

Branches of the Black Hole Wave Function Need Not Contain Firewalls. (arXiv:1712.04955v1 [hep-th])  hep-th updates on arXiv.org on 2017-12-16 2:35am GMT Authors: Ning Bao, Sean M. Carroll, Aidan Chatwin-Davies, Jason Pollack, Grant N. Remmen We discuss the branching structure of the quantum-gravitational wave function that describes the evaporation of a black hole. A global wave function that initially describes a classical Schwarzschild geometry is continually… Read more →
