Like.
> the probability of this is also the same value P. > > Is the experimental evidence that we have for establishing these probabilities... -
bhobba reacted to Nugatory's post in the thread I How strong is the justification for low probability extreme thermal fluctuations? with Like.
You have not thought through the implications of the question in post #16 of your other thread. Say that we set this random number...

bhobba reacted to PeterDonis's post in the thread I How strong is the justification for low probability extreme thermal fluctuations? with Like.
Our justification is that our current known laws of physics say this is possible, just extremely, extremely, extremely unlikely. I'm...

bhobba reacted to Demystifier's post in the thread I Why can’t photons “pile up” to eject an electron? with Like.
If you draw the Feynman diagrams for absorption of one and two photons, you see that they have one and two vertices, respectively, so...

bhobba reacted to Demystifier's post in the thread I Schrödinger equation and classical wave equation with Like.
Schrodinger didn't know what is the physical meaning of the wave. He only used the nonrelativistic energy formula $$E=\frac{p^2}{2m}+...

bhobba reacted to PeterDonis's post in the thread I A very interesting paper on orthodox quantum mechanics with Like.
In his textbook, he gives basically the same description you quoted, but he also says that an equivalent way of looking at the quantum...

bhobba reacted to PeterDonis's post in the thread I A very interesting paper on orthodox quantum mechanics with Like.
This is how Ballentine presents the statistical interpretation--the ensemble is basically the abstract set of all instances of a given...

bhobba reacted to gentzen's post in the thread I A very interesting paper on orthodox quantum mechanics with Like.
Why do you think that I see an ensemble of particles? I see an experiment depending on some knobs, that I can repeat as often as I want...

bhobba replied to the thread I A very interesting paper on orthodox quantum mechanics.See: I haven't watched it myself - about to. It would seem he thinks none are any good. I believe his folk theorem clarifies a...

Wow, I had read Ballentine's orthodoxity measure as 0.88, but actually it is -0.88. Which makes total sense to me.
-
bhobba replied to the thread I A very interesting paper on orthodox quantum mechanics.Although well thought of by many, including me, it is not an orthodox approach. That said, it is the book I recommend studying...

bhobba reacted to A. Neumaier's post in the thread I A very interesting paper on orthodox quantum mechanics with Like.
But his book is nearly as far as possible from the consensus textbook orthodoxy; see the last paragraph of p.20 in Beck's paper!

bhobba reacted to Peter Morgan's post in the thread I A very interesting paper on orthodox quantum mechanics with Like.
I would add 'Algebraic QM', which can be found in textbook form in https://arxiv.org/abs/1211.5627, by François David, (published as...

bhobba reacted to pines-demon's post in the thread I A very interesting paper on orthodox quantum mechanics with Like.
Don't worry Ballentine made it to the list.

bhobba reacted to Peter Morgan's post in the thread I A very interesting paper on orthodox quantum mechanics with Like.
tl;dr summary: We will not here consider quantum field theory whatsoever. I suppose that's part of what orthodoxy requires: we can...
