bhobba reacted to PeroK's post in the thread B Need help understanding particle physics and quantum physics with Like.
Two points of view are: Quantum Fields are reality; and, reality can only be described mathematically - fundamentally through quantum...

bhobba reacted to PeterDonis's post in the thread B Need help understanding particle physics and quantum physics with Like.
They're what our best current theory of the fundamental physics of matter says everything is made of. If that makes them "physical...

Quantum fields. There is no other answer as far as physics is concerned, at least not with our best current models. Quantum fields are...

According to our best current theoretical models, they're quantum fields. Yes. This is much too vague. We can't give you a course in...

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.
