The Hygiene Hypothesis – Learning From but Not Living in the Past [PDF]
Frontiers in Immunology, 2021 Postulated by Strachan more than 30 years ago, the Hygiene Hypothesis has undergone many revisions and adaptations. This review journeys back to the beginnings of the Hygiene Hypothesis and describes the most important landmarks in its development ...

The Decoherent Arrow of Time and the Entanglement Past Hypothesis [PDF]
Foundations of PhysicsAbstractIf an asymmetry in time does not arise from the fundamental dynamical laws of physics, it may be found in special boundary conditions. The argument normally goes that since thermodynamic entropy in the past is lower than in the future according to the Second Law of Thermodynamics, then tracing this back to the time around the Big Bang means the

Hypothesis Testing and Knowledge of the Human Past [PDF]
Organon FHistorians and natural scientists are adept at inferring knowledge of the past from present traces and evidence. The repository of available methods has been rapidly expanding, and historians of the human past have learned that using techniques developed

Present records of the Past Hypothesis [PDF]
SynthÈseAbstractA striking feature of our world is that we only seem to have records of the past. To explain this ‘record asymmetry’, Albert and Loewer claim that the Past Hypothesis induces a narrow probability density over the world’s possible past macrohistories, but not its future macrohistories.

The Past and Present of Computer-Augmented Hypothesis Generation
, 2023 Don Swanson's career started on a path familiar to many who read this blog. A BA in Physics from CalTech in 1945. A Ph.D. in Theoretical Physics from UC Berkeley in 1952. A decade working in scientific labs. Then his career took a turn when, after a decade of working in traditional scientific labs, Don took a professorship in the Graduate School of ...

Modeling the Past Hypothesis: A Mechanical Cosmology
Foundations of Physics, 2023 There is a paradox in the standard model of cosmology. How can matter in the early universe have been in thermal equilibrium, indicating maximum entropy, but the initial state also have been low entropy (the "past hypothesis"), so as to underpin the second law of thermodynamics?

Disentangling Boltzmann Brains, the Time-Asymmetry of Memory, and the Second Law [PDF]
EntropyAre your perceptions, memories and observations merely a statistical fluctuation arising from of the thermal equilibrium of the universe, bearing no correlation to the actual past state of the universe?

The Mobility Effects Hypothesis: Past, Present, and Future
SSRN Electronic Journal, 2022 We discuss hypotheses researchers have put forth to explain how outcomes of socially mobile and immobile individuals might differ and/or how mobility experiences are related to outcomes of interest. Next, we examine the methodological literature on this topic, culminating in the development of the diagonal mobility model (DMM, also called the diagonal ...
