From modality to millianism

open access: yesNoûs, EarlyView.
Abstract A new argument is offered which proceeds through epistemic possibility (for all S knows, p), cutting a trail from modality to Millianism, the controversial thesis that the semantic content of a proper name is simply its bearer. New definitions are provided for various epistemic modal notions.

The simplicity of physical laws

open access: yesNoûs, EarlyView.
Abstract Physical laws are strikingly simple, yet there is no a priori reason for them to be so. I propose that nomic realists—Humeans and non‐Humeans—should recognize simplicity as a fundamental epistemic guide for discovering and evaluating candidate physical laws.

Expected value, to a point: Moral decision‐making under background uncertainty

open access: yesNoûs, EarlyView.
Abstract Expected value maximization gives plausible guidance for moral decision‐making under uncertainty in many situations. But it has unappetizing implications in ‘Pascalian’ situations involving tiny probabilities of extreme outcomes. This paper shows, first, that under realistic levels of ‘background uncertainty’ about sources of value independent

Model-independent Way to Determine the Hubble Constant and the Curvature from the Phase Shift of Gravitational Waves with DECIGO

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters
In this Letter, we propose a model-independent method to determine the Hubble constant and curvature simultaneously by taking advantage of the possibilities of future spaceborne gravitational-wave detector DECIGO in combination with the radio quasars as ...

Lessons from the void: What Boltzmann brains teach

open access: yesAnalytic Philosophy, EarlyView.
Abstract Some physical theories predict that almost all brains in the universe are Boltzmann brains, that is, short‐lived disembodied brains that are accidentally assembled as a result of thermodynamic or quantum fluctuations. Physicists and philosophers of physics widely regard this proliferation as unacceptable, and so take its prediction as a basis ...
