Does light exist between events? [mod: unapproved source] The above perspective will resolve a lot of paradoxes in QM. Is the above view viable or is it untenable? Are there any evidence to show that photons exist in flight? Are there any evidence of photon trajectories?

If I am not wrong that's exactly what Penrose is arguing that Gravity suppresses quantum superpositions.

Doesn't this paper support Penrose's OR theory? Universal decoherence due to gravitational time dilation Now Penrose being a very smart guy having realized that he has taken a realist standpoint on Quantum Mechanics very well knows that he has to incorporate some element of non-locality in his...

Why do billiard balls does not pass through both the slits at once or tunnel through walls while electrons and photons do? Quantum phenomena are observed at room temperatures so how does decoherence theory account for such phenomena? I think only Caslav Brukner and Johannes Kofler have seriously...

I don't see how giving up counterfactual definiteness alone explains the quantum correlations in entanglement. A measurement "there" still disturbs the system "here" irrespective of whether the system possesses predefined properties or not, otherwise how does the system "here" know what happened...

You're right Non-locality is here to stay. Read What Bell did by Tim Maudlin. The EPR argument ruled out local indeterministic theories and Bell's theorem ruled out local deterministic theories. We have to abandon locality. Bell's theorem does not rule out non-local deterministic theories like...

There are different kinds of correlations. Quantum correlations without a causal order. The logical consequence of Quantum theory is to redefine our preconceived notions of space-time but no progress has been made in that direction for decades. There is hardly a single theory which...

Does a valid experimentally verified scientific explanation exists for the phenomena of quantum entanglement? Doesn't Quantum correlations demand explanations? What is the explanation for Quantum correlations? Is it, 1. Retro-causation 2. FTL 3. Information is finite and far more fundamental...

Uncertainty in quantum mechanics: faith or fantasy? That's not the point, the linearity of the Schrödinger's equation is in contradiction with the collapse of the wavefunction. There is something in the physical world that doesn't obey the Schrödinger's equation and hence causes the quantum...

Consciousness and the Wigner's friend problem by Bernard d’Espagnat. Information and fundamental elements of the structure of quantum theory by Caslav Brukner and Anton Zeilinger So Quantum Mechanics is nothing but footnotes to Plato. Is Philosophy dead?

Physicists Eye Quantum-Gravity Interface “I don’t see why these concepts of quantum theory that have proven to be right for the case of light should fail for the case of gravity,” Aspelmeyer said. Have they made any progress on this? Its important because people like Penrose believe that...

I have read that the team at Vienna are conducting experiments to test whether even gravity can exhibit quantum superpositions or not. Is anyone tracking their late developments on this? What do the physics community think is going to happen when even gravitational waves are superposed. Will the...

I think Penrose is right when he says, "QM makes absolutely no sense what so ever". A General Argument Against the Universal Validity of the Superposition Principle

Roger Penrose says QM is internally inconsistent. It is actually an issue of dynamics, when does the projection postulate dynamics take over from the Schrodinger dynamics? Penrose says the U process of quantum mechanics which is the Schrodinger evolution of the wave-function is entirely...
