Haha.
It is not any better in other languages either. -

Like.
You have missed the point. The theory, that is the "shut up and calculate" math theory does NOT cause confusion and in fact is, as the... -

Not necessarily. SD only determines the necessary correlations to make it look like QM is right. There are no macroscopic...

DrChinese reacted to .Scott's post in the thread I Physicists disagree wildly on what quantum mechanics says about real… with Like.
I just read the article. First off, it's encouraging to know that so many Physicists can do anything "wildly". ... The next step for...

I thought it would be informative to post the full chart from the article:

DrChinese posted the thread I Physicists disagree wildly on what quantum mechanics says about real… in Quantum Interpretations and Foundations.You’re probably thinking “duh”. But that’s actually the title of the article that was published yesterday. Physicists disagree wildly...

DrChinese replied to the thread I Does Time-Symmetry Imply Retrocausality? How does the Quantum World Say “Maybe”?.I mostly object to ascribing any kind of inferred existence to intermediate unobserved states*, a well-accepted position in the...

And, as far as I can tell, there are references on his side of the question, as well as on yours. So again, this is a dispute that's not...

DrChinese replied to the thread I Does Time-Symmetry Imply Retrocausality? How does the Quantum World Say “Maybe”?.I looked, not much in the past 20 years. He co-authored this, but it's a survey from 2013: https://arxiv.org/abs/1301.1069 Edit...

DrChinese replied to the thread A How Does MWI explain Type I PDC Photon Polarization Entanglement?.If there is down conversion, the photon count is 2. If not, count is one and those are different Fock states... right? That can be...
-
DrChinese replied to the thread A How Does MWI explain Type I PDC Photon Polarization Entanglement?.I'm fine with all this. The question is whether the rules of MWI impose an additional constraint (which of course advocates would...

What seems reasonable to me is irrelevant. Sure, I don't have an intuitive picture of how this can happen. But as I said, experimental...

DrChinese replied to the thread A How Does MWI explain Type I PDC Photon Polarization Entanglement?.I'm not worried that decoherence might occur while traveling to the intersection point, as that is always possible to some small degree...

All of MWI is essentially standard QM. Let's take a different scenario of two electrons. As the electrons are indistinguishable, it's...

My understanding is that the decoherence time for light traveling in air is a lot longer than 10 picoseconds. But I'm not very familiar...
