Breaking News on the Law of Large Number
    In October 2002 I finally was able to prove that the Law of Large Number, which has long been considered a result of the probability theory, is actually in conflict with it. Thus, the very success of the Law of Large Number is another evidence against the probability theory. I may add that I have also found a new logic for this celebrated Law.
    These findings are in my new book "Symmetry and the End of Probability" which is now available at Amazon.com. I will find the right time to post the essence of my findings in the page "Logic for the End of Probability".

My Favorite Quotes

"An eye for an eye, the whole world goes blind" —Gandhi

"Don't do to others what you don't want others do to you!"  —Confucius

“The theory of probability is in a very unsatisfactory state, both logically and mathematically; and I do not believe that there is any alchemy by which it can produce regularity in large numbers out of pure caprice in each single case. If the penny really chose by caprice whether to fall heads or tails, have we any reason to say that it would choose one about as often as the other? Might not caprice lead just as well always to the same choice?”
 —Bertrand Russell (Religion and Science, 1935)

Hi,
My name is Thinh Van Tran, my pen name is DangSon. I am an independent researcher. I invite you to read the following articles:
1. "Logic for the End of Probability"
2. "The Space-Time Foundation of Quantum Physics" (Posted 9/21/2002)
3. "The Resolution Limits of Space and Time"
4. "Resolution Limits and the Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle"


More about me: I was born in 1953. I attended University of Southern California, Los Angeles (BS in Chemical Engineering 1976) and University of Minnesota, Twin Cities (Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering 1981, thesis on fluid and particle dynamics). I worked in the semiconductor industry from 1981 to 2002 in various technical and management positions. It was the extensive exposure to probability at work that led me to the conclusion that the shaky foundation of probability is the main cause of all of the reported "weirdness" of quantum physics. I believe common-sense is all it takes to bring everything back to normal.

MORE ABOUT MY IDEAS
For communication-related reasons, I have de-emphasized my common-sense double book "The End of Probability and the New Meaning of Quantum Physics", in favor of a new edition, titled "Symmetry and the End of Probability", which is focused only on my analysis against the probability theory. I have posted the contents of this new edition at the page summary. You can still buy the old book on line by clicking here or at Amazon.com, Barnes & Noble.
      SYMMETRY AND THE END OF PROBABILITY is priced at US$15. You can buy it at Amazon.com.
      I'm working on a second edition focused on quantum physics. Due to unforeseen delays, this is now planned for release in 2005.
