Today I decided to measure the PH of gastric juice again. I though that the other day I had the problem solved after recalibrating the meter. But when I tried to measure it today, I got that oscillation of the number again. It was oscillating between let's say 2 to 4. So I decided to follow...
Blizzard, My knowledge of the chemistry going on within the gastric juice is too elementary to be able to understand the possibility of something like what you describe. But I had a vague idea that something like that could be happening. I also wondered if the fact that there are oils in the...
Hi Borek
This morning I read your post and while most of it made sense, at first didn't agree with your interpretation of my problem.
My reasoning was: If it was a calibration problem , then I would just be getting the wrong result, but not that oscillation I was seeing.
My thought was "there...
I bought a PH meter with glass electrode. I calibrated it using a buffer solution following the instructions.
When I measure the PH of tap water, vinegar, or other simple liquids it initially keeps changing but eventually it stabilizes at the correct value. But I tried to measure gastric juice...
I have not read Schlosshawer's book, but some years ago I had read a very complete and long article by him. I though it was a very comprehensive review of the subject. With respect to Quantum Darwinism, I didn't remember much about that concept as I haven't read Zurek's articles for a while...
Information leaking out is just the way most environmental decoherence proponents present it, including Zurek. So for these peple, if information "leaks out" and let's say travels away towards some other galaxy, then there is decoherence even if there is no entanglement with the observer. The...
Well, we know already what bhobba thinks. He thinks that the isolated system-detector is in a definite state once the detector has interacted with the quantum system. If I am correct, you (Quantumfuction) and Feeble are more inclined to think that these systems remain in a superposition state...
Let's see Derek what Bhobba thinks. I think that according to a more "many worlds" like interpretation, when the outside environment gets entangled with the cat, then a human observer also gets entangled with it. So you can say that the observer is in a state of superposition, but to each...
You make it sound as if you are getting tired of talking about the same things. But I suspect that on the other hand in some way you enjoy it.
So let me see if I understand your position or interpretation. You are saying that as soon as the microscopic quantum system interacts with the...
Well, it depends on what we mean by environment. I was using the word environment to refer to everything outside the box as once a signal leaks out of the box it is supposedly "uncontrollable" and we can't "erase" the information that has leaked out. According to Environmentally Induced...
If we think about the box isolating the cat from the rest of the environment and any "observer", then environmental decoherence would be prevented. Then we could think about the cat as being in both states at the same time but as far as I know, the only way that is being used to confirm...
But when I said that they are just interpretations I did not mean to diminish their importance.
And even I know you will disagree on this, I consider the "ensenble interpretation" also as a "interpretation"
But I am not saying that you are wrong and I am right. I am just saying that we have...
I don't want to get into this fight, but I think that interpretations so far are just that. For the same reason that you can't prove that one is the best one, you can't either prove that one of them is wrong unless it conflicts with the results of some experiment. Maybe some time in the future...
Well Gerinski, if we get into the interpretational side, it can be a long story. I have my own ideas when it comes to interpretation. But I am not dogmatic about them and I am willing to change if I find something that makes more sense. In this thread I was trying to focus more on the way these...
