Why do people rule out local hidden variables? I'm just a beginner at these questions, but I was under the impression that Bell's inequality does not rest on magical free will as much as the ability to build a random number generator whose output is sufficiently uncorrelated with the output of your other experimental apparatus. There is enough wiggle room on the correlation here that you really do need an impressive conspiracy. [I see now that Ron Maimon has brought up the same point] |

Who added $\frac{3}{2} \partial^2 c$ to the virasoro BRST current (and why)? Thank you! Your answer is very helpful. Do you happen to know where the correction was first worked out? |

“tmf(n) is the space of supersymmetric conformal field theories of central charge -n” You're unlikely to get a description of conformal field theory from the tmf spectrum. It seems more likely that any interesting functors go the other way, and that elliptic cohomology exhibits some kind of shadow of CFT. |

Causality and operationalism: from sets and functions to monads You haven't defined the category of the apparatus. A definition seems to be necessary before looking for a monad structure. |

Super Lie-infinity algebra of closed superstring field theory? Why do you use both "$L_\infty$-algebra" and "Lie $n$-algebra for $n = \infty$", when the article you linked indicates that they are the same thing? Is there a subtle distinction I am missing? |
