My favorite quote from that essay: "If you have bought one of those T-shirts with Maxwell's equations on the front, you may have to... -
bhobba replied to the thread I Question about discussions around quantum interpretations.Neither do I actually, but in discussions of such things, it is often alluded to. Books and articles are even written on it, e.g...

No. That's not how the MWI works. In the MWI, all possible outcomes occur, each in its own branch of the wave function. It's not even...

Note that, while, as I said in my previous post just now, the MWI doesn't work this way, the Bohmian interpretation, which is also...

bhobba replied to the thread I Question about discussions around quantum interpretations.There is no experimental finding that favours one interpretation over the other. If there were, it would be a significant breakthrough...

Thank you all for engaging with this discussion. I find it very refreshing to see the different approaches to interpretations. It’s...

What else could they be!?

Two points of view are: Quantum Fields are reality; and, reality can only be described mathematically - fundamentally through quantum...

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...

You have not thought through the implications of the question in post #16 of your other thread. Say that we set this random number...

Our justification is that our current known laws of physics say this is possible, just extremely, extremely, extremely unlikely. I'm...
