    Extractions: ABSTRACT: It is argued on the basis of certain mathematical characteristics that classical mechanics is not constitutionally suited to accommodate consciousness, whereas quantum mechanics is. These mathematical characteristics pertain to the nature of the information represented in the state of the brain, and the way this information enters into the dynamics. 1.1 Classical mechanics arose from the banishment of consciousness from our conception of the physical universe. Hence it should not be surprising to find that the readmission of consciousness requires going beyond that theory. 1.2 The exclusion of consciousness from the material universe was a hallmark of science for over two centuries. However, the shift, in the 1920's, from classical mechanics to quantum mechanics marked a break with that long tradition: it appeared that the only coherent way to incorporate quantum phenomena into the existing science was to admit also the human observer (Stapp, 1972). Although the orthodox approach of Bohr and the Copenhagen school was epistemological rather than ontological, focusing upon "our knowledge" rather than on any effort to introduce consciousness directly into the dynamics, other thinkers such as John von Neumann (1955), Norbert Weiner (1932), and J.B.S. Haldane (1934) were quick to point out that the quantum mechanical aspects of nature seemed tailor-made for bringing consciousness back into our conception of matter.

44. Free Body Diagram / Kinetic Diagram
    A short introduction to and description of free body diagrams which are essential for the understanding of classical mechanics.  
    http://laser.phys.ualberta.ca/~freeman/enph131/fbd.htm
    
    Extractions: Engineers make a big deal out of the correct use of free body diagrams for solving mechanics problems. In what follows we restrict our attention to particle mechanics. For statics problems the sum of the external forces on a particle is zero and so the free body diagram just shows the particle being considered with all it's external forces acting on it. However, for a dynamics problem, the sum of the external forces is equal to the mass of the particle times it's acceleration (i.e. Newton's second law) and kinematics now play an important role. In order to emphasize the importance of the kinematics in a dynamics problem it is esential to draw both the free body diagram and the kinetic diagram (so-called by Hibbeler) for every problem regardless of the problem's difficulty . Although it may be possible to solve simple problems by inspection, only by seeing numerous examples of how both free body diagrams and kinetic diagrams are constructed, will the student have the confidence to tackle much harder problems. The combination of a free body diagram and a kinetic diagram is just a pictoral representation of Newton's second law What I mean by a pictoral representation of Newton's second law, which for a particle is of course

    Extractions: ABSTRACT: I argue that the logical difference between classical and quantum mechanics that Stapp (1995) claims shows quantum mechanics is more amenable to an account of consciousness than is classical mechanics is irrelevant to the problem. 1.1 Henry Stapp (1995) argues that "classical mechanics is not constitutionally suited to accommodate consciousness, whereas quantum mechanics is" (abstract). This, he asserts, is because of "certain logical deficiencies" that are not present in quantum mechanics (1.3). The ground advanced for this claim is that classical mechanics holds that a "physical system is to be conceived of as fundamentally a conglomerate of simple microscopic elements each of which interacts only with its immediate neighbors" (2.12). In particular, a classical description of a system will include a description of field values at points in the system, but these descriptions record only what is going on at each of the points, and not features of the system as a whole. Stapp adds, "One may, of course

    Extractions: Next: Completing the Circle Up: CONSERVING EQUATIONS Previous: Second-order diff The word chaos has both a general meaning and a scientific meaning. As is usually the case, the general meaning tends to convey little of the strict definition that scientists and mathematicians apply to the word. In the American Heritage Dictionary (Note: you can also access the Oxford English dictionary online if the "American Heritage Dictionary" above refuses you access), we find that chaos is described as noun. 1. A condition or place of total disorder or confusion: ``emotions in complete chaos.'' 2. Often [Chaos]. The disordered state of unformed matter and infinite space supposed by some religious cosmological views to have existed prior to the ordered universe. 3. (Obsolete). A vast abyss or chasm. What scientists and mathematicians mean by chaos is very much related to the spirit of the definitions given above. We state that systems are chaotic if they: are deterministic through description by mathematical rules.

50. Pythagorean Physics - Writings By Todd Matthews Kelso
    An axiomatic system that expands on classical mechanics rather than utilizing relativity or quantum mechanics. Variable mass. Different concept of a particle.  
    http://home.att.net/~zei/TMKelso/index.htm
    
    Extractions: PYTHAGOREAN PHYSICS A Collection of Writings by Todd Matthews Kelso Introduction Overview Pythagorean Physics postulates the existence of a basic unit of matter, the Pythagorean atom. It deals with discreteness in favor of continuity. It considers both time and space to be absolute. Motion is a function of space and time. Unlike classical mechanics, Pythagorean Physics considers mass to be a variable and has a different concept of what a particle is. Pythagorean Physics employs an axiomatic system that incorporates both philosophy and science in order to achieve meaning. Epistemology Scientists sometimes have a difficult time understanding the limits and validity of what they think they know. Neither the theory of relativity nor quantum mechanics employs an axiomatic system that can guard against such errors. Rather, they both superimpose notions for convenience. Pythagorean Physics follows an axiomatic system that starts with definitions and proceeds step by step from there in a logical fashion that provides meaning in a way that other approaches can not. Integration of Philosophy and Science Specialization has tended to separate concepts that are really interconnected. In order to understand better how the universe works, it is necessary to understand more than just one small portion of it. A comprehensive overview that honors the interconnectedness of all existence is required. Unfortunately, particular aspects of science are becoming more and more esoteric without a broader view. It even becomes necessary at times for a scientist to accept on faith the work developed in a different area of science. This practice can add credence to ideas that should be challenged. Pythagorean Physics challenges multiple ideas from multiple disciplines.

52. Classical Mechanics
    A short discussion of the development of classical or Newtonian mechanics during the European Enlightenment and its origins in the Aristotelean tradition.  
    http://www.wsu.edu:8080/~dee/GLOSSARY/CLASSMEC.HTM
    
    Extractions: Ancient Greece Pre-Socratic Philosophy: Pythagoras The Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy is that the universe is founded on number and mathematics; this idea, however, was commonplace among the hermeticists (hermeticism is a Western tradition of magic which believes that the universe reflects the mind of god) and dates back to Pythagoras. Ancient Greece Aristotle Pre-Socratic Philosophy: Atomists inertia : every object in motion stays in motion until redirected or stopped by another object; every object remains at rest until moved by another object. No object has the ability to move or stop itself. The universe, then, becomes a vast billiard ball table, in which everything moves because something else has just knocked into it. But that leads to a problem: who moved the first object? How did it get going if no object can move itself? The Greek atomists, who believed that the universe consisted of atoms (in Greek the word atoma means "indivisibles") which created all phenomenon by colliding into and combining with each other, explained this with the concept of "swerve": somewhere at the beginning of time, one atom swerved all by itself and knocked into another and hence the universe came into being. Aristotle , on the other hand, who also based his thought more or less on a mechanistic view of the universe, solved the problem by positing an "Unmoved Mover": somewhere at the beginning of time, an "Unmoved Mover" (which he calls God), was able to set things in motion without having to be moved itself. This idea was appropriated in the Middle Ages by the Scholastics, who, like Aristotle, believed the universe functioned in a rational and mechanistic way and was set in motion and ruled over by a rational and unmoving mover, God. Newton adopts this idea whole-cloth: although the universe is a vast machine of objects moving and colliding into each other, still it requires some original thing that set it all in motion in the first place. That thing, for Newton, was God.

The other sub-field is quantum mechanics . Roughly speaking, classical mechanics was developed in the 400 years since the groundbreaking works of Brahe Kepler , and Galilei , while quantum mechanics developed within the last 100 years, starting with similarly decisive discoveries by Planck Einstein , and Bohr classical antiquity in European history . While many discoveries within the mathematics of that period remain in full force today, and of the greatest use, the same cannot be said about its "science". This in no way belittles the many important developments, especially within technology, which took place in antiquity and during the Middle Ages in Europe and elsewhere.

    Extractions: The approach to classical mechanics adopted in this book includes and stresses recent developments in nonlinear dynamical systems. The concepts necessary to formulate and understand chaotic behavior are presented. Besides the conventional topics (such as oscillators, the Kepler problem, spinning tops and the two centers problem) studied in the frame of Newtonian, Lagrangian, and Hamiltonian mechanics, nonintegrable systems (the Hénon–Heiles system, motion in a Coulomb force field together with a homogeneous magnetic field, the restricted three-body problem) are also discussed. The question of the integrability (of planetary motion, for example) leads finally to the KAM-theorem. This book is the result of lectures on 'Classical Mechanics' as the first part of a basic course in Theoretical Physics. These lectures were given by the author to undergraduate students in their second year at the Johannes Kepler University Linz, Austria. The book is also addressed to lecturers in this field and to physicists who want to obtain a new perspective on classical mechanics.
