    Graduate Exploring Implicit Assumptions and Foundations of Quantum Mechanics

    Yes, of course I have. Let me prepare my answer. It's not an easy task, since you're asking me to dance without music and without moving. But I'll try.

    Graduate Exploring Implicit Assumptions and Foundations of Quantum Mechanics

    (I) Regarding your first point, you are right. Equations of QM and QFT are linear, whereas those of GR are nonlinear. This distinction is well known. Could you clarify what specific issue or question you are aiming to address? (II) I would suggest not jumping ahead without first laying out the...

    Graduate Exploring Implicit Assumptions and Foundations of Quantum Mechanics

    Thank you for your comment. You are absolutely right when you write that "they arise from other components and are not fundamental." I completely agree with this statement. My question concerns precisely the foundation and the easiest way to access it. Above, in my response to Peter Morgan, I...

    Graduate Exploring Implicit Assumptions and Foundations of Quantum Mechanics

    What you've described, it seems to me, is quite difficult to classify as science or physics. It's more like engineering. You may be right, and indeed, anyone who earns a master's degree is interested in engineering. However, after 30 years have passed since earning a doctorate, someone...

    Graduate Exploring Implicit Assumptions and Foundations of Quantum Mechanics

    Thank you for your detailed and thoughtful reply. I particularly appreciate the references you provided, as well as the time you have taken to engage with my questions. It is a pleasure to discuss these issues with you. You are certainly correct in noting that “more is needed, however, to make...

    Graduate Exploring Implicit Assumptions and Foundations of Quantum Mechanics

    Question about the role of postulates and implicit assumptions in quantum mechanics Hi everyone, I’m trying to better understand the structure of the postulates of quantum mechanics and whether there is a meaningful hierarchy among them. In the standard presentation, we usually assume: -...
