Epistemic Physics: Beliefs Are Relativistic

epistemicphysics.com Observed source
Editorial interest 84/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

An interactive field guide connecting Bayesian belief updates, natural selection, and Einsteinian velocity addition through probability, odds, and rapidity.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-08 issue.

Field notes

The site uses the transformation vE = 2p − 1 to place probability on a −1 to +1 velocity-like scale, then introduces rapidity as half the log odds so evidence multiplication becomes addition. Its central worked example starts at 75% with a 3:1 ratio and reaches 90% across Bayesian belief, population frequency, and velocity addition. The interactive also exposes support and opposition counts, a Jeffreys prior of n₀ = 1, and six-step navigation through the example.
