gedankenexperiment

As speculative fiction, the concept is a prime example of a Gedankenexperiment.

He had thought about Professor Keane's gedankenexperiment very carefully.

Just Prometheus Rising 221 assume this is a gedankenexperiment, a "mind game."

Let us do a gedankenexperiment, thought-experiment.

It is only an extrapolation--what a physicist might call a gedankenexperiment--nothing more.

Here is the gedankenexperiment: Imagine an ordered set of blue mutant bacteria that secrete dierent amounts of the blue metabolite that helps the red bacteria.

Witt-Hansen established that Hans Christian Ørsted was the first to use the Latin-German mixed term 'Gedankenexperiment' (lit.

(Consider a gedankenexperiment, a thought experiment, for I have not carried out the actual computer experiment, and no one has been able to prove my following plausible, probably true, conjecture.)

This gedankenexperiment is important, for the exchange ratio of red and blue molecules is the analogue of price, the ratio of trading of oranges for apples.

"I think that in spite of my Gedankenexperiment, that Corporal Benjamin's explanation-i.e., that Lieutenant Monkberg is a German spy-is more plausible."

Infinitos monos escriben sobre el iPhone (iPhone roundup) from Gedankenexperiment Luego del abrumador éxito (¡mentira!)

The English term thought experiment was coined (as a calque) from Mach's Gedankenexperiment, and it first appeared in the 1897 English translation of one of Mach's papers.

Since the fastest growing mixed red-blue colony will exponentially outgrow all others and dominate our gedankenexperiment petri plate, this red-blue pair establishes "price" in the system at red to blue molecules.

Much later, Ernst Mach used the term Gedankenexperiment in a different way, to denote exclusively the imaginary conduct of a real experiment that would be subsequently performed as a real physical experiment by his students.

In another quarter of a century we think the global networks will have grown sufficiently to allow real emergence to take place but for now this is more like a gedankenexperiment - a thought experiment with practical components - if that doesn't sound too much like an oxymoron.'
