DrChinese replied to the thread Undergrad "The wavefunction never collapses".Regardless of one's objections (e.g. "the measurement problem") to generic Copenhagen-type QM: The most obvious problem with MWI is... -
DrChinese reacted to Roberto Pavani's post in the thread Undergrad "The wavefunction never collapses" with
Like.
A naive concern about MWI: it implies the existence of branches where 1000 photons all pass through a 45° polarizer. In that branch... -
DrChinese reacted to Baluncore's post in the thread Undergrad "The wavefunction never collapses" with
Haha.
Maybe it is quantum mechanics that collapses. -
DrChinese reacted to FactChecker's post in the thread How do entangled particles know what the other is doing? with Like.
I thought that Bell's theorem/test ruled out the existence of local hidden variables.

After precise experiments that measured the speed of light as c, no matter what the velocity of the test platform was, I think it was...

Of which, IIRC, Bell said that he could not imagine an interpretation that Einstein would have liked less. Bohmian mechanics doesn't...

Unless by "spooky action at a distance" one means "violations of the Bell inequalities".

Spooky action at a distance appears to have been proved evidentially. And seems to be a basis of cryptography...

DrChinese reacted to Demiurge's post in the thread How do entangled particles know what the other is doing? with Like.
What you are asking shouldn't possibly exist in a classical-physics universe. But science hasn't settled on a particular interpretation...

DrChinese replied to the thread High School Does entanglement synchronization change with distance in general relativity?.:welcome: Entangled systems are not "synchronized" as you imagine. They follow a set of rules that can be difficult to understand for...
