I still think more of his papers will become relevant even later, he made predictions for superglass for example. -

I read about the behavior of 3He, probably around 1975, just one of the many interesting topics that inspired me to study physics and... -

Some in the quantum reconstruction program have aligned themselves with QBism as explained in these two papers: Berghofer, P... -

I didn't say their descriptions weren't consistent. I said none of them really work. Because... Exactly. I made a similar point in this... -

l think the full quote is clearer. -

I think we should be more critical towards people like Niels Bohr (and also John Bell) who insist on never saying or writing anything... -

Only with a very...nuanced...meaning to the word "complete". :wink: I think a better way to describe it would be that Bohr and other... -

That's not quite what it says, although many of its proponents claim that it is. Their claim is based on the particulare interpretation... -
bhobba replied to the thread Undergrad Help me understand indeterminism in standard quantum mechanics.It does not imply the reality of the quantum state (nor can it, since QM is wrong). See the original paper... -

Turns out the probabilistic (indeterministic) nature of quantum mechanics (QM) follows from the discrete outcomes. I can't explain all... -

I'm not sure what you mean. But I might be the wrong person to ask, since my own take on QM interpretations is that, while they can be... -
bhobba replied to the thread Undergrad Help me understand indeterminism in standard quantum mechanics.Not when looked at carefully. What Bohr and some other adherents did say (unecessaryily IMHO) was it was complete. That Einsten... -
bhobba replied to the thread Undergrad Help me understand indeterminism in standard quantum mechanics.That you must interpret QFT - not QM. Art Hobson did that in his book I referenced. While I currently advocate that interpretation...
