Entropy Best Poster Awards at Linnaeus Conference: Towards Ultimate Quantum Theory (UQT) in Växö (Sweden) on 11–14 June, 2018. Brilliant mathematical concepts describe physical realities on all different levels, but classical mechanics,... more
Investigating the dark grounds of science by means of Chalcolithic artifacts demands an interdisciplinary approach which examines the use of mathematical methods for the construction of geometrical symbols in order to excavate the... more
There is an ongoing controversy about whether quantum states should be regarded as representing anything in physical reality. Here a truly Platonic approach shall oppose Copenhagen like interpretations which deny the need for any deeper... more
In Plato’s original text about the regular polyhedra, shapes of the four elements, fire, water, earth and air, the dodecahedron, as fifth element, — usually denoted as symbol for the world itself — the dodecahedron itself is not... more
The discovery of the 3D representation of the Penrose Kites & Darts tiling , named epitahedron {E±) which turned out to be Plato's "5th element" followed intuitively from the question: "If the Penrose Pattern is a 2D slice of... more
The authors describe the scientific background and technical details of the visualization of the mathematics underlying genetic codes applied to musical scales. “Genetic Music” provides audible access to genetic structures that become... more
Insights into the foundations of quantum theory, including the wave-particle duality of light as developed in the last century, raise several questions. How can we imagine light both as wave and particle? What is a particle? How can we... more
<p><span>The Gaia hypothesis as an ecological hypothesis is proposing that the biosphere and the physical components of the Earth (atmosphere, cryosphere, hydrosphere and lithosphere) are closely integrated to form a complex... more
Abstract. The artwork presented here is motivated by the wish to communicate an assumed underlying higher-dimensional space grid for the Universe. It was presented in the digital 3D animated opera named GAIA 5.0. – A Holographic Image... more

GAIA 5.0. presents the Earth as a complex living system in a poetic form narrated by no-wave icon Lydia Lunch. GAIA refers to ancient mythology as well as to Lovelock & Margulis' Gaia theory while the suffix 5.0 is referring to the... more

For ancient pre-Socratic societies the living pattern of the Universe was— according to Plato—also the blueprint for the organizational structures within a society. Divine order and equilibrium were the universal principles and the... more
