I won't belabor the point on "spooky action at a distance" since I think it's a history of science question more than a physics one. I...

gentzen replied to the thread A question about quantum entanglement.I disagree: we do understand why there is the phenomena of time dilation in special relativity. Maybe not as a community, but if some...

This quotation comes out insightful even in the light of today. I read this so that his intuition was and still is valid - there must be...

gentzen replied to the thread A question about quantum entanglement.It should be irrelevant how I or everyone else reads it. The phrase goes back to Einstein, so only the context(s) in which he said or...

gentzen replied to the thread A question about quantum entanglement.Einstein used „spooky action at a distance“ in his letter to Max Born, where he complained about the wavefunction in 3n-dim...

Like.
Indeed. It is just a good place to start to come to grips with interpretative issues from the view of the deeper theory QM is an... -
gentzen replied to the thread Graduate Obtaining NRQM from QFT: Issues, Folklores and Facts by Padmanabhan.Padmanabhan doesn't claim this. Art Hobson is the one who believes this. I guess Padmanabhan's textbook on QFT and his long paper (58...

The only out, if an out it is, is that it is just a computational device. It still is non-local, but of no concern. For quantum...

gentzen reacted to PeterDonis's post in the thread A question about quantum entanglement with
Agree.
No, that's not what he said. He said they are a two-particle excitation of a quantum field. That's not the same as a one-particle... -
gentzen reacted to Peter Morgan's post in the thread A question about quantum entanglement with Like.
Art Hobson's "Fields and Their Quanta: Making Sense of Quantum Foundations" and his previous work, going back decades, has always seemed...

gentzen reacted to PeterDonis's post in the thread Undergrad How can light be a wave and particle at the same time? with Like.
No, they're not... Yes, but a quantum field is not a wave. It's a quantum field. Your next sentence contradicts this: Yes, and it's...

gentzen reacted to bhobba's post in the thread Is the quantum wave function a real object or a mathematical tool? with Like.
It isn't, and there are errors that the more advanced will see as strictly speaking wrong (e.g., ordinary QM is the classical limit of...
