For those interested, there is a very recent paper (from two weeks ago) that analyzes how many derivations of the Born rule, which start... -

That's also true for determinism. The difference between determinism and superdeterminism is the following: Determinism postulates... -

Everything is an "illusion" depending on how you define it. "Gravity is an illusion"; "time is an illusion"; "mass is an illusion" ... -

And by that definition, in, for example, the Bohmian interpretation of QM, randomness is not fundamental. The "basic, central, or... -

You're ignoring the key point: what determines these things? For you to have any kind of meaningful free will, the world needs to be... -

Haha.
As the usual joke goes: a field is an element that transforms as a field -

Skeptical.
That's not really true. The decay also rests on the collapse postulate and on decoherence with the environment. In fact, if decoherence... -

But QT can also handle particle decay, no measrument, no macroscopic devices. -
gentzen replied to the thread Graduate Skolem's Paradox (First Order Logic).I checked now, and it is well written. You have a very good chance to really "finish" this book, if you just keep on going. Don't worry...

Josephson junction can consist of ##10^{10}## atoms. I don't see principal difference between ##10^{10}## and ##10^{30}## atoms. Cats... -

Do y'all think the difference in the definition of a bijective/ surjective ##f## w.r.t. ##\mathfrak{A}## vs ##\mathfrak{B}## is the root... -
gentzen replied to the thread Graduate Skolem's Paradox (First Order Logic).Both contain a part of the explanation, and you will certainly work this out and understand it in the end. You are spot on by focusing...

Yes, asking to suppose that cat is qubit is wrong, but I don't think that number of atoms can be a factor in this distinction. The... -
gentzen replied to the thread Graduate Skolem's Paradox (First Order Logic).Well, in the typical mathematical logic textbook, you have to read many pages before you come to the incompleteness theorems. So maybe...

I'm reading Leary and Kristiansen "Mathematical Logic". This is problem 8 in section 3.4.1. exercise 8. It's not homework since I don't...
