bhobba replied to the thread Studying What math and physics do I need to learn before studying quantum mechanics?.Without a doubt, it should not be studied until you have completed the suggested reading list, especially Townsend's A Modern Approach... -
bhobba reacted to Matterwave's post in the thread Studying What math and physics do I need to learn before studying quantum mechanics? with
Like.
Note that this is a rather advanced QM book aimed more towards advanced undergrads and grad students. It throws you into the deep end... -
bhobba replied to the thread Studying What math and physics do I need to learn before studying quantum mechanics?.The basics of calculus, such as those found in my favourite introductory book (can be studied after US Algebra 2 or Australian Year 9...

Please cite a credible technical reference that states this.

Nothing. The EPR argument was that quantum mechanics is incomplete, meaning that there was some deeper theory in which each particle...

Love.
This is one of the technical PF forums. Have you read the paper? -
bhobba posted the thread Graduate Emergence of Time from Quantum Interaction with the Environment in Quantum Interpretations and Foundations.The nature of time is a topic many find interesting. A recent thread about the topic was closed (correctly) as personal speculation...

bhobba reacted to PeterDonis's post in the thread Graduate Could Time Be More Fundamental Than Matter? with Like.
The thread is closed as it is based on personal speculation. @hamsar there is plenty of literature on the foundations of quantum...

Please note that personal speculations are off limits here. In non-relativistic QM, yes. But as @renormalize points out, that's not...

Modern physics does not consider time to be "a physical object or a force", rather it is one of 4 coordinates that together specify...

@Matterwave @bhobba Thanks to you, we're closer to what I was actually asking. “EPR made an implicit assumption in their argument that...

By "independence" here, do you mean statistical independence of measurements? In analyzing an argument such as EPRs, it is best if we...

The EPR paper is always worth a (re)read 😉. It is a delightful paper, though it has its faults.
