This would not be the case for a simple "tensor product of theories". Hence I am not sure there is a puzzle to be resolved.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8883034.post-1108051220110076162005-02-10T17:00:00.000+01:002005-02-10T17:00:00.000+01:00I don't think you can fix this by adjusting the gr...I don't think you can fix this by adjusting the gravitational constant (or Planck area), as that sets the scale of entropy (if you like the base of the logarithm). log(k) however is a shift. You can test this by dumping different chairs (whith similar angels).Roberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06634377111195468947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8883034.post-1108049841736129002005-02-10T16:37:00.000+01:002005-02-10T16:37:00.000+01:00Presumably, the effective 4D M_{pl} depends on the...Presumably, the effective 4D M_{pl} depends on the dimension of the Angel Hilbert Space.<br /><br />If the dependence is the one I'm thinking of, then, no, you don't learn anything about the value of k from this experiment.<br /><br />(I suppose that's an interesting constraint on how the effective M_{pl} can depend on hidden variables.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
