Like.
Maybe not an electrostatic field, but shooting an electrodynamic field at somebody's head is possible. It normally won't hurt, and often... -
bhobba reacted to PeroK's post in the thread Undergrad One does not “prove” the basic principles of Quantum Mechanics with Like.
One could argue that if the electron does not exist between measurements, then it cannot be described by a state or wave-function (or...

Put in an extreme instrumental form, I think "The ultimate test for a model is the agreement of its predictions with experiments"...

bhobba replied to the thread Undergrad One does not “prove” the basic principles of Quantum Mechanics.Why do we think Quantum Fields exist, and they imply the creation and annihilation of actual particles similar to the harmonic...

How can you measure something that doesn't exist? Would two non-existent electrons be different from one non-existent electron? If...

bhobba replied to the thread Undergrad One does not “prove” the basic principles of Quantum Mechanics.You can't throw an electric field at your head either, yet, according to Wigner's no-interaction theorem, it must actually exist...

You might not understand that @Greg Bernhardt did not write the Insights article that is referenced, and is not the right person to ask...

Thanks for taking the time to give that response, much appreciated. It has got to be fatiguing continually articulating things at a "B"...

I just retired from 37 years of teaching undergrad physics at Elizabethtown College (not R1, I was paid to teach). I have always wanted...

bhobba replied to the thread Insights Quantum Entanglement is a Kinematic Fact, not a Dynamical Effect.You're not kidding. On occasion, I have tried to explain it that way only to be greeted with something like - it must be wrong - it...

Let me add something to that plot line before answering your question. The light postulate is not acceptable as an explanans for most...

It's a relatively new twist on the quantum reconstruction program. The book is the culmination of about 4 years of development (papers...
