    I An interesting question from Veritasium on YouTube

    Isn't that the WHOLE reason for science?:smile:

    Yes. EM coupling. But he didn't specify the time lapse between send and receive.

    I Exploring the Meaning of Ontology: Easy for Kids, Hard for Quantum Physicists

    Are you saying that a physicist uses QT predictions to set up an experiment that proves the QT predictions are correct?

    It may not be quantum.

    I QM: Interesting View - Get the Inside Scoop

    This may be a little off topic, but the way I see it is that the issue, problem, or source of confusion is that Einstein was referring to a SINGLE case of a 2-photon system, whereas nearly everyone else is arguing from an ensemble of identically prepared systems. By the way, how do we KNOW each...

    I QM: Interesting View - Get the Inside Scoop

    From the 1st paper cited above: "Why, then, do many people wrongly claim that quantum mechanics is nonlocal? They do so by denying at least one of three fundamental precepts of QBism: (1) A measurement outcome does not preexist the measurement. An outcome is created for the agent who takes the...

    I QM: Interesting View - Get the Inside Scoop

    I suggest that until we have a theory that predicts exactly where an individual photon will hit the screen in a 2-slit experiment, and the path of an individual gas atom in a confined space, and why one atom of uranium decays and not the one next to it, etc., we will not have a complete physical...

    I What does it really mean that photons are quanta of light?

    And that it can impart momentum?

    I Are there signs that any Quantum Interpretation can be proved or disproved?

    I can't be taken seriously, for I know nothing of higher mathematics. But I do have two reasons for questioning: 1. The measurement problem; 2. Gravity

    A Infinities in QFT (and physics in general)

    I would say that the real goal is to understand Nature, period! Then we would KNOW how to make the best use of our knowledge.

    I Are there signs that any Quantum Interpretation can be proved or disproved?

    In my view the tasks are: 1. DEduce THE dynamics for spin+detector. 2. Show that those dynamics hold for any and all measurements. I agree that it "seems to be" an undisputed fact. Could this be in the realm of "appearances can be deceiving"? BTW, I am NOT an MWI adherent.

    I Are there signs that any Quantum Interpretation can be proved or disproved?

    Is that indeed a fact?

    A Infinities in QFT (and physics in general)

    That begs the question - what is a "good" understanding?

    A Could QM Arise From Wilson's Ideas

    Einstein was right. QM is useful, but it is not complete.

    How can evaporative cooling air conditioning work?

    We wouldn't have much Life either!
