gentzen reacted to willyengland's post in the thread I Why can’t photons “pile up” to eject an electron? with
Like.
A multi-photon absorption might happen I think under extreme conditions like a strong laser. -
gentzen replied to the thread I Is there a bad intuition or bad explanation in quantum entanglement?.Yeah, but in physics it typically arises because of probabilities, and how to interpret them.
-
gentzen replied to the thread I Is there a bad intuition or bad explanation in quantum entanglement?.The Dirac equation is beautiful!
-
gentzen replied to the thread I Is there a bad intuition or bad explanation in quantum entanglement?.The probability of rain today at 13:00 (where I live) is 20%.

gentzen reacted to PeterDonis's post in the thread I A very interesting paper on orthodox quantum mechanics with Like.
This is how Ballentine presents the statistical interpretation--the ensemble is basically the abstract set of all instances of a given...
-
gentzen replied to the thread I A very interesting paper on orthodox quantum mechanics.Why do you think that I see an ensemble of particles? I see an experiment depending on some knobs, that I can repeat as often as I want...
-
gentzen replied to the thread I A very interesting paper on orthodox quantum mechanics.And another possibility it to try to understand what we are doing, currently. Like the article mentioned in the OP. Or also David...
-
gentzen replied to the thread I A very interesting paper on orthodox quantum mechanics.That is not the point. You construct issues and complications for the minimal statistical interpretation where I can see none. Somehow...

gentzen reacted to bhobba's post in the thread I A very interesting paper on orthodox quantum mechanics with Like.
Although well thought of by many, including me, it is not an orthodox approach. That said, it is the book I recommend studying...
-
gentzen replied to the thread I A very interesting paper on orthodox quantum mechanics.If you compute the scattering between two incoming particles, or the lifetime of some excited state, then you are looking at a simple...

gentzen replied to the thread I A very interesting paper on orthodox quantum mechanics.Wow, I had read Ballentine's orthodoxity measure as 0.88, but actually it is -0.88. Which makes total sense to me.
-
gentzen replied to the thread I A very interesting paper on orthodox quantum mechanics.The "we ignore" part is certainly true. The reasoning why it gets ignored is probably not so much that it is the same as QM, but that...

gentzen reacted to Peter Morgan's post in the thread I A very interesting paper on orthodox quantum mechanics with Like.
tl;dr summary: We will not here consider quantum field theory whatsoever. I suppose that's part of what orthodoxy requires: we can...
-
gentzen replied to the thread I Is there a bad intuition or bad explanation in quantum entanglement?.bhobba first brought up that paper in 2021. What WernerQH refers too was probably in August 2025. He also brought it up on other...

gentzen reacted to PeroK's post in the thread I Question about discussions around quantum interpretations with Like.
If I understand what you're saying, that sounds like the complement of @Demystifier argument. We start with a macroscopic system that...
