I'm not saying that the philosophy is irrelevant as a rational critique of science, at least. I'm just saying that only science can find, sufficiently justify and clearly describe just what is already in the natural world as a hidden cause to explain how something occurs. But this has not been...

But if your looking for the natural truth beyond the results of quantum experiments that explains matter and radiant energy then you won't do it by talking about the philosophy of knowledge. Neils Bohr insisted that there was no such natural truth and thus devised the indeterminate...

Ah but then, of course, there is an uncomfortable fact for the quantum gravity theorists, which they never mention and would like everyone to ignore or not take seriously. Which is that Bohmian mechanics is the only systematically argued theory of quantum mechanics that does, like general...

Nonsense. Indeterminacy is a doctrine in quantum physics as long as quantum objects are described as being in a superposition of states before their behaviour is directly detected and measured and all physics undergraduates are not taught at least that some kind of determinate account like...

It is arguable that, for the past 80 years physicists have been stuck for a general explanatory theory of the universe basically by the narrow constraints of their methodology, which led, in particular, to the general acceptance of the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics. So that...

Think of a cause of quantum entanglement. So that this would be a cause that can act without varying at any distance between entangled quantum components so as to maintain the measured correlations in their forms of behaviour. Such a cause could not be described as surrounding objects in...

But then there is, of course, Bohmian mechanics...

Fully understand how quantum entanglement occurs and you've understood how the universe in general in the way that it is.

Wave function collapse is what happens when too many angels go dancing on one surfboard to the tune of "Wonderful, wonderful Copenhagen". Whereas you can ask: given both the everyday observed and experimental evidence, why shouldn't quantum objects be both waves and particles while in motion?

Actually I find my own theory of everything hypothesis at least difficult to reconcile with string theory because mine postulates large scale - rather that small scale - extra spatial dimensions where a cause acts nonlocally in addition to the forces, and which are deduced initially from quantum...

Hello, Demystifier, I don't suppose you'd take seriously a quantum hypothesis for a theory of everything that starts by assuming a Bohmian hidden variables theory? See http://foranewageofreason.blogspirit.com

"which may or may not rule out all forms of non-local realism" is the key point here which is not at all the same as saying that the experimental evidence rules out non-local realism which is what the paper is, in effect, saying and, given this, the paper is crap. Whereas the science of...

There's no way of disproving nonlocal realism. The fact is entanglement correlations can be measured between light beams to distances up to 141 kilometres between light beams. This paper's crap.
