bhobba replied to the thread I Physicists disagree wildly on what quantum mechanics says about real….It is simply that we know standard QM is wrong, eg it predicts the hydrogen states are stationary, so can't jump between them. Yet they... -
bhobba reacted to weirdoguy's post in the thread I Physicists disagree wildly on what quantum mechanics says about real… with
Love.
That is why I think that all those "foundations of quantum mechanics" and interpretational stuff are total waste of time at the moment... -
bhobba replied to the thread I Physicists disagree wildly on what quantum mechanics says about real….You need to become acquainted with Wigner's No-Interaction Theorem. It explains both why fields must exist and why they most definitely...

bhobba replied to the thread I Physicists disagree wildly on what quantum mechanics says about real….All experience says it is. What Wigner said still holds: https://webhomes.maths.ed.ac.uk/~v1ranick/papers/wigner.pdf In my opinion...

Like.
In my opinion, soundbites like "shut up and calculate" or "spooky action at a distance" are ultimately meaningless. They represent the... -
bhobba replied to the thread I Physicists disagree wildly on what quantum mechanics says about real….Actually, over the years, I have changed my view on QM interpretations. I still hold to the Ensemble interpretation. However, I no...

bhobba reacted to .Scott's post in the thread I Physicists disagree wildly on what quantum mechanics says about real… with Like.
I just read the article. First off, it's encouraging to know that so many Physicists can do anything "wildly". ... The next step for...

bhobba reacted to DrChinese's post in the thread I Physicists disagree wildly on what quantum mechanics says about real… with Like.
You’re probably thinking “duh”. But that’s actually the title of the article that was published yesterday. Physicists disagree wildly...

bhobba reacted to PeterDonis's post in the thread I Does Time-Symmetry Imply Retrocausality? How does the Quantum World Say “Maybe”? with Like.
I think you are. See below. You don't need to explain how to apply the collapse postulate. What you need to explain is why you even...

Again, I have provided multiple authoritative citations saying precisely the opposite. See Megidish figure 3 where indistinguishable vs...

bhobba replied to the thread I Does Time-Symmetry Imply Retrocausality? How does the Quantum World Say “Maybe”?.You know, I think it's because my background is in math, not physics, but what the math requires needs no further explanation...

bhobba reacted to PeterDonis's post in the thread I About concept of wave-particle duality with Like.
It doesn't, because the concept of wave-particle duality isn't a good concept in QM to begin with. It's a common pop science concept...
-
This is the sort of pop science that never leads to any understanding. This is the same pop-science nonsense that is preached...

I signed up just to leave this comment. Thank you so much for such a astonishingly clear explanation. I'm in awe at your ability to...

bhobba reacted to A. Neumaier's post in the thread I Shape of wave function (probability distribution) of a single photon with Like.
B (idealized), C (realistically) While there is no position operator (and hence no Schrödinger picture), photons still have...
