IIMx Welcomes two new science and philosophy advisory council members

It's an honour and privilege for me to welcome aboard our first philosophy and science council members. Professor Gao is a world-renowned researcher who pushes the limits of argumentation and metaphysical curiosity in the philosophy of quantum physics. Quantum physics and its philosophy are very important to the study of natural information, the ontology of information, and informational ontology. Professor Gao has published numerous recent papers challenging both orthodoxies and revisionary hypotheses in interpretations of quantum mechanics.

I am pleased and honoured that he has decided to join us. Dr Bruce Long IIMx Founder
