Like.
Indistinguishable particles in two different states, here and there for example, are still indistinguishable. -

IMO the use of real numbers to describe lengths and such in classical physics is any less miraculous than using hermitian operators...

bhobba replied to the thread Graduate Quantum interpretations and indistinguishable elementary particles.The wave function, and its Born interpretation, in ordinary non-relativistic QM, is simply the consequence of modelling observations as...

Generally we don't recommend using AI as a source. The last six words of your post quoted above are a good quick summary of why.

bhobba reacted to PAllen's post in the thread Graduate How valid is the Block Universe theory? with Like.
Again, you could, in principle, disprove determinism. But, as I have argues above, determinism and block universe are actually...

bhobba reacted to Dale's post in the thread Graduate How valid is the Block Universe theory? with Like.
I wouldn’t say it was even a new interpretation so much as a new derivation. His main contribution was taking Lorentz aether theory...

bhobba replied to the thread Graduate How valid is the Block Universe theory?.I never knew it was that popular, but it certainly is an interpretation, just not to my taste. My interpretation is that it's just the...

@DarkloidNeos the article you reference, unfortunately, is not just presenting the speculations or opinions of various physicists it...

bhobba reacted to Ibix's post in the thread Graduate How valid is the Block Universe theory? with Like.
It's an interpretation, so not testable as far as we know. It's far and away the most popular interpretation, and fits well with the...

bhobba replied to the thread Is the quantum wave function a real object or a mathematical tool?.Schrodinger initially looked at the KG equation, but it had difficulties. From Wikipedia: 'The Klein–Gordon equation was first...

As a mathematical fact about the equation, of course it's true. Nobody is disputing that. As a physics claim about wave functions...

Ah, I see, the K-G equation is for the matter. It makes a huge difference. In the context of QM, "fields" refers to quantum field...

bhobba replied to the thread Graduate Quantum interpretations and indistinguishable elementary particles.A more direct answer is to realise that ordinary non-relativistic QM (QM) is incorrect - our best current theory is Quantum Field Theory...

bhobba reacted to .Scott's post in the thread Graduate Quantum interpretations and indistinguishable elementary particles with Like.
A photon that is "absorbed and reemitted" will likely leave behind energy and end up with a higher wavelength. Or, in the case of a...
