Quantum Holism as Consequence of the Relativistic Approach to the Problem of Quantum Theory Interpretation
ABSTRACT: In modern physics the common relational approach should be extended to the concepts of element and set. The relationalization of the concepts of element and set means that in the final analysis the World exists as an indivisible whole, not as a set (of one or another kind of elements). Therefore, we have to describe quantum systems in terms of potentialities and probabilities: since quantum systems cannot be analyzed completely into sets of elements, we can speak only of the potentialities of isolating elements and sets within their structure. On the other hand this quantum property of the world as an indivisible whole accounts for the astonishing logical properties of the structure of the potentialities of quantum systems which it brings forth. This has been confirmed by quantum-correlation experiments (A.Aspect and oth.). These effects have a relational nature, not a physical-causal or material one, and they are brought forth by the changes (resulting from measurement or physical interaction) in the structure of the relations of the mutually complementary sides of reality. One of these sides expresses an actually existing structure of the system as a real (and physically verifiable) but only relatively separable set, and the other expresses the sets of potentialities in it which arise from the astonishing property of finite non-analyzability of the system into elements and sets (i.e. by the quantum property of the world as an indivisible unit).

...system's wholeness and constitute the implicative-logical structure controlled by the wholeness phenomenon.
The idea of the implicative-logical organization of the probability structure of a quantum system in the pure state and of the controlling role of the wholeness phenomenon (in the redistribution of probabilities depending on this or that real experiment) is confirmed by the results of quantum-correlation experiments (for example, A. Aspect's experiments).

At Harvard, B.F. Skinner looked for a more objective and restrained way to study behavior. Most of his theories were based on self-observation, which influenced him to become a enthusiast for behaviorism. Much of his “self-observed” theories stemmed from Thorndike’s Puzzle Box, a direct antecedent to Skinner’s Box. He developed an “operant conditioning apparatus” to do this, which is also known as the Skinner box. The Skinner box also had a device that recorded each response provided by the animal as well as the unique schedule of reinforcement that the animal was assigned. The design of Skinner boxes can vary ...
(Marieb, 2016). Myelin is the protective coat surrounding and insulating the nerve fibers of CNS. Myelin is fatty tissue substance that if attacked by immune cells causing a short-circuits in the current so that the successive gaps are excited more and more slowly, and eventually impulse conduction ceases which resulted in various forms of symptoms (Marieb, 2016). The degradation could either be “by inflammation, stroke, immune disorder, metabolic disorders, or nutritional deficiencies” (Slomski, 2005). The target that immune cells are sensitized to attack remains
The novel, Alice and Quantum Land, by Robert Gilmore is an adventure in the Quantum universe. Alice, a normal teenage girl, goes through quantum land and understands what quantum is and how it works. The quantum world is a difficult one to understand, as its nature is one of complex states of being, natures, principles, notions, and the like. When these principles or concepts are compared with the macro world, one can find great similarities and even greater dissimilarities between the world wherein electrons rule, and the world wherein human beings live. In Alice in Quantumland, author Robert Gilmore converts the original tale of Alice in Wonderland from a world of anthropomorphic creatures into the minute world of quantum mechanics, and attempts to ease the reader into this confusing world through a series of analogies (which comprise an allegory) about the principles of quantum mechanics. Through Alice’s adventure she comes across some ideas or features that contradict real world ideas. These ideas are the following: Electrons have no distinguishing spin, the Pauli Exclusion Principle, Superposition, Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle, and Interference and Wave Particle Duality.
This Essay is meant to shed light on a complex subject, quantum entanglement. Now, quantum entanglement is a part of much more complex subjects, such as classical mechanics, quantum theory, and quantum mechanics; these subjects will not be covered. The idea of quantum entanglement will be explained: What it is and when does it happen. After a little understanding of Entanglement, a discussion will follow on what it means for us from a technological standpoint and what can we accomplish in the near future. Pushing that idea further into the future looking at bigger possibilities in transportation, and what potential liabilities and moral dilemmas could ensue. It is my belief that quantum entanglement could accomplish many great things, but could
Why does this self-inflicted deconstruction of the myelin occur? Multiple sclerosis is said to have genetic and environmental factors to its cause. Malnutrition and free radicals can all trigger a dormant M.S. gene in a person. According to the National Multiple Sclerosis Society, What Causes MS, studies say that “Growing evidence suggests that vitamin D plays an important role. People who live closer to the equator are exposed to greater amounts of sunlight year-round. As a result, they tend to have higher levels of naturally-produced vitamin D.” In fact, vitamin D holds specific immune strengthening qualities. Make it a priority to remain nourished, keeping your immune system at optimal strength, thus preventing pos...
Multiple sclerosis is a disease that affects the central nervous system, attacking the brain and the spinal cord. MS attacks myelin, the fatty material that acts as a protective coating to the body's nerves. (1) The inflammation of the nerve tissues covering the nerves can affect any part of the nervous system and varies from person to person. (7) Normal nerve function decreases with the onset of MS because MS causes scars to form on the covering of the nerve. Multiple Sclerosis acquires this term because it literally means scars. (1,7) The covering of the nerve with myelin is very important so that the nerve can transmit signals rapidly and efficiently. Demylelination enables the nerve to carry impulses properly by either blocking or slowing transmission and this is why the various symptoms of MS occur. (1)

Analyses of the Urban Institute’s National Survey of Adolescent Males (NSAM) show that although most sexually experienced teenage males have used condoms at least once, many do not use them consistently. Only 35 percent reported using a condom every time they had sex in the past year. But teenage males use condoms more than older men, and between 1979 and 1988 reported condom use among male teenagers doubled. These patterns indicate that teenagers are a promising target population for condom promotion efforts since they appear more ready than older men to change their behaviors.
Demyelination is a disintegrated of the myelin sheath cause by an inflammatory and destruction process, the axon being partly or completely denuded. The features of multiple sclerosis lesions are perivascular inflammation followed by myelin depletion, oligodendrocytes loss and astroglial proliferation. The initial stage characterized by the accumulation of inflammatory cells, lymphocytes and monocytes around venules within the CNS. Inflammation may cause a function block in conduction through myelinated axons. Next, there is active destruction of the oligodendrocyte and its myelin sheath as a result of contact with macrophanges and microglia . This followed by depletion of oligodendrocytes in which denuded axons re seen within the lesion. Finally, the lesion heals by scar formation dependent upon astrocytic reactivity, producing hardened patches or plaques from which the disease gets its name. the most common side of plaques are in the boundary grey matter in the cerebellum, cerebellar white matter, optic nerves, cervical portion of spinal cord and brain stem.
Reinforcement, punishment, and extinction are three important concepts in Skinner’s theory. Primary reinforcement is the human's basic needs in order to survive. This is a natural and biological instinct in which forces us to search for these demands such as water, oxygen, food, and shelter. On the other hand, secondary reinforcement must be paired with primary reinforcement in order to occur. Therefore, a secondary reinforce is crea...
It can only explain how nature works by observing the effects on material objects. In his book In Search of Schrödinger's Catch. 8, Gribbin suggests the possibility that no particle is real until it is observed. The act of observation collapses the wave function so that one of a number of ghost particles becomes a real particle. This idea has similarities with idealism and its appearance and reality arguments. Gribbin does not take the argument forward, so let us consider the philosophical arguments instead of the physics.
...en will never be fully equal and if it does happen, it will not be for a long time. It took about 90 years for women to get this far and have a much greater influence in new Europe then they ever dreamed to have in the old. Maybe in another 90 years women will be even closer to complete equality.

When students are offered free condoms and told that it will protect them, they are encouraged to engage in sexual activity. Though it is true they may be protected somewhat, they
