Is Mind-Body Physicalism Really Compatible with Modern Physics? (2023)
Book Chapter
Austin, J. (2023). Is Mind-Body Physicalism Really Compatible with Modern Physics?. In Hidden Aspects of Time. Cambridge Scholars Publishing

If we take seriously literal interpretations of quantum theory and general relativity then the question posed in the title is no. This article highlights where incompatibilities arise by considering our experience in the context of modern physics. Im...

Do Causality Violations Initiating a Compactly Generated Cauchy Horizon Require Exotic Matter? (2023)
Book Chapter
Austin, J. (2023). Do Causality Violations Initiating a Compactly Generated Cauchy Horizon Require Exotic Matter?. In Hidden Aspects of Time. Cambridge Scholars Publishing

This short paper summarises the proof that a causality violation formed from a bounded region requires matter that violates the null energy condition. Therefore the answer to the question in the title is yes. This is one of the results on which Steph...

Localisation of Consciousness Applied to the Study of Anomalous Temporal Experiences (2023)
Book Chapter
Austin, J. (2023). Localisation of Consciousness Applied to the Study of Anomalous Temporal Experiences. In Hidden Aspects of Time. Cambridge Scholars Publishing

Certain psi phenomena, in particular time-slips and scene changes, can be more clearly defined when placed in the context of modern physical theories. Any point of conscious contact is localised in an almost infinite-dimensional space of material con...
