Biocentrism: book review
I was asked to review the book by Dr. Robert Lanza called “Biocentrism: how life and consciousness are the keys to understand true nature of the Universe“.
If you are a scientist good enough in your area of expertise, at some point you start wondering whether you can explain everything around you, every single event, physical phenomenon, consciousness, human nature etc. etc. by using methods from your area of expertise.

228. Book review: D. Yoshioka. The quantum Hall effect
About a week ago we have briefly discussed the physics of the quantum Hall effect. Let me remind you the conclusions we came to.
We discriminate between the integer and fractional quantum Hall effects according to the value of the filling factor
. The latter characterizes the many-particle wave function describing behaviour of electrons in the sample.
effectively depends only on which Landau levels are filled and which – aren’t, i.e., on
and ultimately on Landau levels themselves (that is, the value of magnetic field we apply to the sample).
