    If, as Richard Feyman insisted, nobody understands quantum mechanics

    Only because MWI resolves the indeterminacy problem to the extent that you can say that in the world observed the results of any quantum experiment could not be otherwise. But then, of course, the indeterminacy is thus only pushed elsewhere as the result of the inability in determining whether...

    If, as Richard Feyman insisted, nobody understands quantum mechanics

    Trouble is, all quantum interpretations bar one disallow any possibility of a quantum hypthesis that could be developed into a fully justified causal theory. So that Bohmian mechanics is the only accoumt that, as I have said, descrbes a distinct cause that acts in addition to the forces. And...

    If, as Richard Feyman insisted, nobody understands quantum mechanics

    There could also be a way of falsifying all quantum interpretations except Bohmian mechanics. This being the only mechanics that describes the quantum wave in terms of a cause (called the quantum potential) acting in addition to the forces and its effects upon particles in motion. So that...

    If, as Richard Feyman insisted, nobody understands quantum mechanics

    Actually, Bertrand, given an extradimensional nonlocally acting cause of entanglement I don't think you need the idea of information or anything else being transferred from one particle to another. Entanglement itself is just unlike any other effect between objects in that it describes the...

    If, as Richard Feyman insisted, nobody understands quantum mechanics

    Nonlocality only violates relativity if something travels instantaneously or at faster than light speed between quantum objects through four dimensional spacetime. But then if you were to describe a cause of the non-local effects of entanglement, because such effects do not vary with distance...

    If, as Richard Feyman insisted, nobody understands quantum mechanics

    I'm afraid that's just not true at all. Bohm's 1952 paper was called 'A suggested interpretation of the quantum theory in terms of "hidden" variables." So the whole point of this account was show what the Copenhagenists insisted was not possible and John von Neumann was supposed to have...

    If, as Richard Feyman insisted, nobody understands quantum mechanics

    Absolutely not. In all science other than in the standard model of quantum and partiicle physics, theory has been about the discovery of just that which already exists in the world as a cause or causes that can be described in enough clear detail to explain the observed findings. And so you...

    If, as Richard Feyman insisted, nobody understands quantum mechanics

    But then 'having a relativistically covariant theory of quantum mechanics' isn't an explanation of how the spin behaviour occurs in the first place. How is it that quantum objects don't spin like tennis balls? Also, you don't need to 'understand how measurent works' to understand how gravity...

    If, as Richard Feyman insisted, nobody understands quantum mechanics

    ...why believe that there could be a theory of everything that unifies quantum theory with general relativity? So one of the reasons for developing a theory of quantum gravity is that it could explain the behaviour of quantum objects described in quantum mechanics that can't be explained...

    Do Electron's move around an atom?

    But then I'm talking about the the motion of the electron around the the nucleus, not the electron's spin angular momentum.

    Do Electron's move around an atom?

    If an electron has momentum in an atomic orbital then surely it is in motion? And if you know the mass and the momentum of the electron then you can surely calculate its velocity?

    An impossible quantum theory of everything?

    ..and mere mathematical description certainly isn't. e.g. hwo does the Shrodiger equation how it is that the wave function can be described. Also the Copenhagen and many worlds interpretations are philosopical mumbo jumbo. Prove me wrong.

    An impossible quantum theory of everything?

    See: http://uk.geocities.com/cosmicmind2003 for an early attempt at such a quantum theory as above. email me for an updated version with an improved cosmological theory.

    An impossible quantum theory of everything?

    No existing quantum mechanics or theory need be thought to sufficiently explain how it is that the subatomic of matter or photons of radiation can be detected and described as possessing their properties of behaviour called wave and spin or as being entangled in composite or singlet states, none...
