I didn't. You cut out just 1 sentence from my reply and misrepresent it as my whole reply.Here is my full reply from post 4: "Both real and imaginary numbers are required to describe quantum systems, hence complex-valued behavior can be predicted using complex valued numbers at each point at...

How is it my belief? This is textbook stuff.

Both real and imaginary numbers are required to describe quantum systems, hence complex-valued behavior can be predicted using complex valued numbers at each point at time t. Why is this so? The fundamental indeterminancy of the world will likely never allow a classical description without...

Mathemeatics is not invented but discovered. Evidently it underlies the relationships that eventually turn into observations and this is why everything is predictible. Until you hit the HUP, that is where the math forbids certain types of knowledge. Math is neither a fluke nor a coincidence...

Photons are the entities resembling particles the least.

The real question is how can the circumstances of these measurements be related to anything else than us? Given that without the collapse postulate and measurement, Nature is fundamentally indeterminate. *Us is a collective term for agents who can record outcomes in memory for storage

Conservation laws apply at all scales. When you send 1 electron, you detect 1 electron.

When the observer gets entangled with the quantum system, they become one system. We can't just assume we are not entangled with the environment as this leads to contradiction. This is the crux of the hard interpretational issue surrounding QM and measurement. Everything is indefinite and...

Decoherence is not enough to explain single outcomes. The microchip industry is dealing with these issues as just having decoherence does not remove leaks across gates. Measurement is what brings single outcomes on top of decoherence however measurement cannot be introduced into leaky 2nm...

The “answer to the question that does not answer the question” is emergence - properties of the macroscopic system (such as “phases of matter”) exist that are not properties of the subatomic system. They are "properties" of the field l(as solid particles have not been found yet in this part of...

Feynman fails to understand that idealists, even if very few, understand QM inside out.

I was under the impression that in QFT even though quantum states have nothing to do with wavefunctions, they can still be in a state of superposition(in multiparticle Fock space). And this is generally how 'collapse' creeps in QFT(I assumed this is what is happening). Sorry if this is...

Conceptually, the field always has energy which is never zero(remember it came from the Big Bang and is still powering our own survival via the Sun). The field is in a state of superpositions of states which are not real. The argument is that if they were, they would have real world measurable...

Because the classical scale of everyday objects is just too imposing. The world is best described with the use of the 4 fundamental forces of nature - the Gravitational force, the Weak Nuclear force, the Electromagnetic force and the Strong Nuclear force. We get 'particles'("matter") when these...

I said that reality may or may not exist between measurements. A logical deduction would require that any under-lying reality(if it exists) exists even between measurements. The character of the underlying reality the substrate of all being given what we know about this reality could be many...
