Um, what? It's like you don't even understand that QM itself is a set of such laws and patterns. Sure, they aren't laws and patterns...

It seems that your mental model of "random" is different than the "random" relevant for the discussion here. It appears that your...

Doesn't the Schrodinger equation apply to the electron like other quantum particles? We can only detect a location when when it is...

Get AI on it! ;)

Only in some interpretations, as has already been pointed out. If you measure both spins along the same axis, yes. But not if you...

Forgive me if this is a dumb question, but in the case of a pair of entangled particles in a singlet state, if the spin of one entangled...

This is all personal speculation and is off limits here. Please don't do that. It is also your own home-brewed QM interpretation, which...

Yes, I meant entanglement ends. But, to my way of thinking, as a result of this the spins of the two formerly entangled particles are...

Yes, "cause" is an interesting concept; more slippery than one might initially think. In law there are two legal concepts "but for"...

Ahh, that's a deeper question. I am not doing "actual physics", but I do want to understand science. Is it fair to say you are in the...

Thank you, Peter. Maybe the confusion stems from what we are defining as "the cause". I tend to think the...

I think forget about the conveyor belt analogy (and thank you for thinking about it). I don't think it was very good because it is too...

It is, but the hidden variables are unobservable particle positions. They are not anything like "the direction of spin". When you...

We only need to deal with special relativity (SR) for this one. Right away, we have this problem with that "immediately". Those two...

John Bell's 1964 paper described tests to decide whether quantum mechanics could be explained by adding "local hidden variables" to...
