Mmattt reacted to Demystifier's post in the thread Graduate Sidney Coleman's opinion on interpretation in his Dirac lecture with
Like.
OK, now I understand where the controversy comes from. @PeterDonis has already explained it in one of the posts, so I will just rephrase... -
Mmattt reacted to Sambuco's post in the thread Graduate Sidney Coleman's opinion on interpretation in his Dirac lecture with Like.
In case it helps, I'll share my interpretation of what Coleman is trying to say. He begins by defining the operator ##L## as having...

Mmattt reacted to PeterDonis's post in the thread Graduate Sidney Coleman's opinion on interpretation in his Dirac lecture with Like.
But his analysis does not do that. An Everett type of explanation makes crucial use of the entanglement between the measuring device (or...

What's the point of even talking about them if they don't correspond to any actual measurements we make? The point of the argument was...

Mmattt reacted to PeroK's post in the thread Undergrad Sean Carroll's description of the Many Worlds interpretation with Like.
The ##\alpha## and ##\beta## apply initially to the state of an electron, but after the interaction with a measuring device, they apply...

Mmattt reacted to Peter Morgan's post in the thread Undergrad Sean Carroll's description of the Many Worlds interpretation with Like.
In that book, Sean Carroll specifically focuses on Quantum Field Theory, with MWI as a side hustle. There are multiple ways to approach...

Mmattt reacted to Demystifier's post in the thread Graduate Super fluids and superconductors at the molecular level with Like.
The conducting electrons interact with lattice atoms. It turns out that the lowest energy state of such interactions realizes when...

No, Copenhagen basically says that we can't even know any "ontology" over and above the probabilistic predictions QM makes for...
