Theological Doctrines as Scientific Theories? Thinking along with and beyond McGrath
International Journal of Systematic Theology, EarlyView.Abstract McGrath's recent analysis of the parallels between scientific theory formation and the development of theological doctrine in The Nature of Christian Doctrine (OUP, 2024) is insightful and largely compelling, but also raises some questions and areas for further exploration. First, there is a remarkable back‐and‐forth between uses of ‘doctrine’

A histories perspective on characterizing quantum non-locality [PDF]
, 2014 We introduce a framework for studying non-locality and contextuality inspiredby the path integral formulation of quantum theory. We prove that the existenceof a strongly positive joint quantum measure— the quantum analogue of a jointprobability measure —

Quantum out-of-equilibrium cosmology
European Physical Journal C: Particles and Fields, 2019 In this work, our prime focus is to study the one to one correspondence between the conduction phenomena in electrical wires with impurity and the scattering events responsible for particle production during stochastic inflation and reheating implemented

Switching Internal Times and a New Perspective on the `Wave Function of the Universe’
Universe, 2019 Despite its importance in general relativity, a quantum notion of general covariance has not yet been established in quantum gravity and cosmology, where, given the a priori absence of coordinates, it is necessary to replace classical frames with ...

The Problem of Psychonomic Harmony
Philosophy and Phenomenological Research, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The problem of nomological harmony is the problem of explaining why the laws of nature match or apply to the states of the universe in a way that results in temporal evolution. The problem of psychophysical harmony is the problem of explaining why phenomenal states are paired with physical states and other phenomenal states in surprisingly ...

Classical and quantum cosmology of minimal massive bigravity
Physics Letters B, 2016 In a Friedmann–Robertson–Walker (FRW) space–time background we study the classical cosmological models in the context of recently proposed theory of nonlinear minimal massive bigravity.
