Hi ttn, Thanks for the response. I esssentially agree with you.. To be fair, I just searched for the word 'Bell' in the article, and it comes up with: "Entanglement isn't any sign of a nonlocality. Bell's inequalities guaranteed that the experimentally observed correlations can't be...

Hi ttn, Sorry to butt in. I'm thoroughly enjoying this debate, and I've digested your article and enjoyed it. For me you win on points (and possibly even a technical knockout - sorry Dr. C.). I agree - this debate is well worth having. Now if you go further along this path the ultimate...

The talk `Exchange, antisymmetry and Pauli repulsion' linked at the bottom of http://www.tcm.phy.cam.ac.uk/~mdt26/pilot_waves.html appears to provide what you want.

Picture a perfectly spherical phosphorescent screen ten light years in diameter, in which a radioactive atom is at the exact centre (there's an engineering challenge for you). When it decays the atom emits a perfectly spherical wave which travels outwards. Long afterwards, the wave hits the 10...

Not the particles - but the waves. De Broglie-Bohm theory (the modern term preferred to 'Bohmian mechanics') is a statistical mechanics of waves and particles. See lecture 3 of the http://www.tcm.phy.cam.ac.uk/~mdt26/pilot_waves.html" . DeBB theory describes the likely state of matter as it...

http://arxiv.org/abs/1012.4843" is a paper explaining how quantum computers work in deBB theory.

Oh Christ.. I whine about Neumaier's behaviour, and then you go and do exactly the same thing. What is the point? I mean, seriously, what is the point? If you don't understand why deBB doesn't violate Special Relativity, then why not just ask me? Why do you have to express your question in the...

I'm sorry - this sounds like nonsense to me. He says only 1 electron in the detector responds because of conservation of energy. What happens when the screen is the inner surface of a hollow sphere a light-year across, and the emitter is a point source dead in the middle emitting a spherical...

It is wrong. I supplied him with an appropriate reference demonstrating how to do deBB quantum computing in #22 (and again in #27 after he ignored it). Of course he immediately dismissed it, not because of a coherent 'personal theory' but because "[deBB] can be coerced into accomodating...

So, as you haven't corrected yourself at all, do I take it you don't accept that anything that you have said is wrong? If this is not the case, would you mind listing for me the things about which you have changed your opinion as a result of this thread? As far as deBB is concerned, you...

Dr. Neumaier, I wonder - do you ever admit that you are wrong about anything ever? Essentially every statement of fact that you have made in this article has been shown to be due to a misunderstanding on your part seemingly due to your never having read any of the literature. And yet, you...

It doesn't for any stationary ground-state of any system, but that's precisely the point - the 'simple example' given in the paper is of a non-stationary state. In the extremely unlikely event of your harmonic oscillator having existed since the beginning of the universe as a stationary...

Arnold - everything you say here seems to be based on the one afternoon you spent studying deBB sometime in the mid 1990s - this just does not justify your supercilious tone. Things do move on. Today it is well known that the assumptions you refer to are not assumptions (even though they were...

Course you do, love. What an unbelievably content-free objection. :smile: Don't you get embarrassed by this? I would.

Look, why - in your case of having zero knowledge of this subject - do you think you have the right to behave in a sarcastic manner to people who try to educate you? Someone else already accused you of being arrogant - I can see why. Arnold is unfortunately guilty of spreading a great deal of...
