    Open AccessNiall Shanks, Karl H JoplinARTICLEPhilosophy of Science1999Cited by: 1References: 18

    Biological systems exhibit complexity at all levels of organization. It has recently been argued by Michael Behe that at the biochemical level a type of complexity exists— irreducible complexity —that cannot possibly have arisen as the result of natural, evolutionary processes and must instead be the product of (supernatural) intelligent design. Recent work on self-organizing chemical reactions calls into question Behe's analysis of the origins o…

  • The Rise and Fall of Time-Symmetrized Quantum Mechanics

    Open AccessW David Sharp, Niall ShanksARTICLEPhilosophy of Science1993References: 7

    In the context of a discussion of time symmetry in the quantum mechanical measurement process, Aharonov et al. (1964) derived an expression concerning probabilities for the outcomes of measurements conducted on systems which have been pre- and postselected on the basis of both preceding and succeeding measurements. Recent literature has claimed that a resulting “time-symmetrized” interpretation of quantum mechanics has significant implications fo…

  • Fine's Prism Models for Quantum Correlation Statistics

    Open AccessW David Sharp, Niall ShanksARTICLEPhilosophy of Science1985Cited by: 1References: 9

    Arthur Fine's use of prism models to provide local and deterministic accounts of quantum correlation experiments is presented and analyzed in some detail. Fine's claim that “there is ... no question of the consistency of prism models ... with the quantum theory“ (forthcoming, p. 16) is disputed. Our criticisms are threefold: (1) consideration of the possibility of additional analyzer positions shows that prism models entail unacceptably high reje…
