The Physics of Christianity Reviewed by a Physicist BY THE TIME I WAS HALFWAY through Frank Tipler's new book I scanned the table of contents and was disappointed to find there would be no explanation of the recently reported miraculous appearance of Mother Teresa's image on a cheese Danish in Nashville. [...] using a strange "Christian" version of the anthropic principle (he co-authored an entire book about this subject with John Barrow) he then claims that without Jesus's resurrection, our universe could not exist, and therefore when one convolves this requirement with the near zero (but not exactly zero) a priori probability, the net result is a near certainty.

Although agency disclosure is required by every state, recent national surveys of home buyers and sellers indicate that disclosure varies significantly across the United States. This study seeks to determine the causes of these disparities by examining states' educational standards, disclosure forms, regulatory environments, and buyer characteristics. The results identify several variables that have a deterministic impact on the probability of disclosure and suggest corrective actions and policies that states can implement to improve the effectiveness of agency disclosure in the real estate transaction.

The loss of chance doctrine is applicable to medical malpractice cases in which negligence has a negative impact on the patient's chance of survival. In this paper, we discuss the loss of chance framework. There are several formulations of loss of chance damage valuation rules that differ by jurisdiction. In many courtroom applications the framework is altered in ways that cause damage awards to differ systematically from the amount suggested by economic theory. The paper contrasts and compares the calculation of economic damages under an all-or-nothing rule and an incremental loss of chance rule.

For the past nine years the Globe and Mail (Canada's oldest national daily) newspaper has held an annual stock picking contest. In 2002, 2003, and then again in 2004, a finance professor won this contest. Motivated and inspired by the contest, this article shows that a rational player can increase the odds of winning an investment contest to a 50/50 chance by selecting a stock that (1) is highly volatile, and (2) negatively correlated with the other selections, or (3) exhibits a negative empirical beta. We conclude by arguing that picking stocks to win an investment game or contest is quite different from selecting securities for a personal investment portfolio.
...Furthermore, we show that the a priori probability of winning such a contest under our su...
