Matterwave's latest activity
-
Matterwave reacted to Dale's post in the thread How do atoms build thoughts and emotions? with
Like.
Until we can experimentally measure those concepts (intelligence, consciousness, thoughts, and emotions) then indeed science... -
Matterwave replied to the thread Undergrad Problem in understanding composition of covariant derivatives.I can post a more complete answer later today if nobody else has done so already by then but it'll be a while. -
Matterwave replied to the thread Undergrad Problem in understanding composition of covariant derivatives.This is not true in general, if it were so you'd have ##\partial_x \partial_y f =0## generically and it's obviously not generically true... -
Matterwave replied to the thread Graduate Časlav Brukner, Richard Healey, and von Weizsäcker on the wave function.Ah, I've read this one, but I still need to sit with it a while longer. -
Matterwave reacted to Sambuco's post in the thread Graduate Časlav Brukner, Richard Healey, and von Weizsäcker on the wave function with
Like.
J. S. Bell, "The theory of local beables", Epistemological Lett. 9 (1976). Lucas. -
Matterwave replied to the thread Graduate Časlav Brukner, Richard Healey, and von Weizsäcker on the wave function.Could you reference the paper title? -
Matterwave reacted to Sambuco's post in the thread Graduate Časlav Brukner, Richard Healey, and von Weizsäcker on the wave function with

I have the same feeling. There is much discussion about this, since the "locality" assumption that Bell defines in his 1964 paper is... -
Matterwave replied to the thread Graduate Časlav Brukner, Richard Healey, and von Weizsäcker on the wave function.There are a few different threads of discussion coalescing here, so let me try to address each of them. I agree. But I'm also ok to... -
Matterwave reacted to gentzen's post in the thread Graduate Časlav Brukner, Richard Healey, and von Weizsäcker on the wave function with
Like.
Brukner neither references Englert, nor uses the word "event". And I guess neither does he implicitly use that concept. Englert himself... -
Matterwave reacted to PeterDonis's post in the thread Graduate Časlav Brukner, Richard Healey, and von Weizsäcker on the wave function with
Like.
Could it be a language or translation issue? Could what we are reading as "violation of Bell's theorem" have been meant to say... -
Matterwave reacted to Sambuco's post in the thread Graduate Časlav Brukner, Richard Healey, and von Weizsäcker on the wave function with
Like.
Although I'm fully on board with the "operationalist" view, I agree that some passages in Englert's text are somewhat problematic... -
Matterwave reacted to Paul Colby's post in the thread How do atoms build thoughts and emotions? with
Haha.
I was going to say one bond at a time but… -
Matterwave replied to the thread Graduate Časlav Brukner, Richard Healey, and von Weizsäcker on the wave function.See the remainder of my post where I quote most of the rest. :) Englert seems to confuse violations of Bell's inequalities with... -
Matterwave reacted to gentzen's post in the thread Graduate Časlav Brukner, Richard Healey, and von Weizsäcker on the wave function with
Skeptical.
The point of Englert is that Bell's theorem only applies to theories "similar to Bohmian mechanics" in suitable ways: In such theories... -
Matterwave replied to the thread Graduate Časlav Brukner, Richard Healey, and von Weizsäcker on the wave function.I disagree with several things Englert writes, but I suppose the most egregious one is claiming "...the [Bell's] theorem is wrong". He...
