FWIW, this seems right to me. It seems to me the term "information" is another anthromorphic term (like "observer" and even...

Art Hobson's "Fields and Their Quanta: Making Sense of Quantum Foundations" and his previous work, going back decades, has always seemed...

For a field theory, there are, in the first instance, no particles to be entangled. The idea that each record of an event in a detector...

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...

For what its worth, Art Hobson states, in Fields and Their Quanta, "The universe is a set of at least 25 fields, each of which fills the...

Thomas Kuhn lecture about early days of quantum physics.

Does it matter that the notion of retrocausality initially attributed to the "delayed choice" experiment has largely been debunked: It...

Here is a summary of Art Hobson's view in Wigner's friend (hope okay to post--feel fee to ignore): Physicists like Art Hobson view the...

My impression: He highlights that the pre-detection state is non-local. He stresses repeatedly that failure to accept this...

At some point I would like to start (or participate in) a thread dedicated to Art Hobson's views in Fields and their Quanta and his...

Physics degrees come in a number of flavours. General physics degrees are often done in a double major with applied math. This can...

I can have an opinion based on the standard probabilistic interpretation, but I am more interested in the actual experimental outcome...

But you're preventing that by confining everything to a narrow tube after the aperture. In wave terms, the tube would act like a waveguide.

Back to the original wave-versus-particle discussion: Consider the following modified double-slit experiment. A narrow vertical aperture...

I am sorry I interfered with the more detailed discussion you are having. At some point (after your technical discussion is concluded)...
