At the Crossroads of Time, Science and History [PDF]

open access: yesIncursiuni în imaginar, 2020
Our paper is searching for historical and discursive contexts which might explain the sudden flare-up of the idea of parallel worlds in the science, history and literature of the mid-20th-century.

Some trends in the philosophy of physics [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
A short review of some recent developments in the philosophy of physics is presented. I focus on themes which illustrate relations and points of common interest between philosophy of physics and three of its 'neighboring' fields: Physics, metaphysics and

Quantum Cosmology with Third Quantisation

open access: yesUniverse, 2021
We reviewed the canonical quantisation of the geometry of the spacetime in the cases of a simply and a non-simply connected manifold. In the former, we analysed the information contained in the solutions of the Wheeler–DeWitt equation and showed their ...

A Traveler’s Guide to the Multiverse: Promises, Pitfalls, and a Framework for the Evaluation of Analytic Decisions

open access: yesAdvances in Methods and Practices in Psychological Science, 2021
Decisions made by researchers while analyzing data (e.g., how to measure variables, how to handle outliers) are sometimes arbitrary, without an objective justification for choosing one alternative over another.

Is the Quilted Multiverse Consistent with a Thermodynamic Arrow of Time?

open access: yesFrontiers in Physics, 2018
Theoretical achievements, as well as much controversy, surround multiverse theory. Various types of multiverses, with an increasing amount of complexity, were suggested and thoroughly discussed in literature by now.

New metrics for multiple testing with correlated outcomes

open access: yesFrontiers in Applied Mathematics and Statistics, 2023
When investigators test multiple outcomes or fit different model specifications to the same dataset, as in multiverse analyses, the resulting test statistics may be correlated.

Multiverse: Transactional Memory with Dynamic Multiversioning

open access: yesProceedings of the 31st ACM SIGPLAN Annual Symposium on Principles and Practice of Parallel Programming
Software transactional memory (STM) allows programmers to easily implement concurrent data structures. STMs simplify atomicity. Recent STMs can achieve good performance for some workloads but they have some limitations. In particular, STMs typically cannot support long-running reads which access a large number of addresses that are frequently updated ...
