Like.
After some thinking, I think the Mott-Coleman argument is simply wrong, because the operator ##L## does not exist. To explain it in... -
gentzen replied to the thread Graduate Sidney Coleman's opinion on interpretation in his Dirac lecture.Your problem is that you model the state of the chamber as a two dimensional Hilbert space. But even with just one ionizable atom on...

gentzen replied to the thread Graduate Sidney Coleman's opinion on interpretation in his Dirac lecture.The argument is at the bottom of slide 15a (page 9) together with Coleman's words on page 10: It is basically just a trivial...
-
gentzen replied to the thread Graduate Sidney Coleman's opinion on interpretation in his Dirac lecture.Coleman's version of Mott's argument just uses a self-adjoint "straight line"/"linearity" operator L and the corresponding spectral...
-
gentzen replied to the thread Graduate Sidney Coleman's opinion on interpretation in his Dirac lecture.Do you think that this argument is an original contribution by Coleman? Or is this argument artibutable to one of the given references...
-
gentzen replied to the thread Graduate Sidney Coleman's opinion on interpretation in his Dirac lecture.Careful, he only said "associated with Hugh Everett". Since Coleman is very careful with words, this means that he is not claiming to...

gentzen reacted to Morbert's post in the thread Graduate Understanding Barandes' microscopic theory of causality with Like.
I have to be careful not to speak for him, but I suspect Barandes would bite the bullet and agree that these stochastic processes are...

gentzen reacted to Demystifier's post in the thread Graduate Sidney Coleman's opinion on interpretation in his Dirac lecture with Like.
I don't know whether Coleman's position contains something original, but there is something else that I find problematic. Coleman first...

gentzen reacted to Sambuco's post in the thread Undergrad Help me understand indeterminism in standard quantum mechanics with Like.
That's the most common criticism, but I think QBism is somewhat more complex. In short, it doesn't deny the possible existence of a...

gentzen replied to the thread Undergrad Help me understand indeterminism in standard quantum mechanics.Why don't you open a new thread, when you want to discuss about QBism? Of course there have been discussion threads about QBism here...

l think the full quote is clearer.

gentzen reacted to pines-demon's post in the thread Undergrad Help me understand indeterminism in standard quantum mechanics with Like.
I think is just the idea that we should recover classical mechanics from quantum mechanics and not the other way around. For me it is...

gentzen replied to the thread Undergrad Help me understand indeterminism in standard quantum mechanics.Did Sidney Coleman ever bother to clarify which parts or properties of classical mechanics are in need of interpretation or explanation...
