ER = EPR

by

Quantum gravity may have as much to tell us about the foundations and interpretation of quantum mechanics as it does about gravity. The Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics and Everett’s Relative State Formulation are complementary descriptions which in a sense are dual to one another. My purpose here is to discuss this duality in the light of the of ER=EPR conjecture.

  • ER stands for Einstein and Nathan Rosen => describing wormholes
  • EPR stands for Einstein, Rosen and Boris Podolsky => describing quantum entanglement

Investment – Robots

Given that many robo advisory platforms in use or being developed today are targeting millennials, there will likely be a natural progression of demand for more sophisticated robo advisory tools as millennials shift from the High Earning Not Rich Yet (‘HENRY’) classification into High Net Worth Individuals. Some forward-thinking banks, wealth advisors and fintech companies are already considering how this shift will affect the future of financial services so that robo advisory and other services are ready to respond as millennials make their evolving demands known.
