Mmattt reacted to DaveC426913's post in the thread Alien life, probabilities, and interstellar propagation of human life with
Like.
There are, by the way, replicative cycles in nature that are far, far simpler than DNA/RNA. The Krebs cycle (AKA citric acid cycle) is... -
Mmattt reacted to phyzguy's post in the thread Alien life, probabilities, and interstellar propagation of human life with Like.
The thing to remember is that, if new life formed today on Earth, it would get eaten very quickly. So you can't conclude that life only...

I think there a few assumptions and misconceptions happening here, and trying to project it onto Fermi's Paradox is making it worse...

MYour question is ill-posed. Since this hydrogen atom interacts with other atoms, it is in a mixed state, obtained from the state of this...
-
MAs the term "interpretation" is used in this subforum, these theories are not interpretations. They are alternate theories, since they...

Mmattt reacted to PeterDonis's post in the thread Undergrad Question about discussions around quantum interpretations with Like.
In physics is that you are using a model that predicts a random distribution of outcomes. If your model predicts the same outcome every...

That isn't the way cluster decomposition is presented in the literature, though. There's no claim that it breaks down for measurements...

Mmattt reacted to PeterDonis's post in the thread Undergrad Question about discussions around quantum interpretations with Like.
It's not just that we have no direct experience with the quantum world. It's that we do have tons of direct experience of a world that...

Mmattt reacted to PeterDonis's post in the thread Undergrad Question about discussions around quantum interpretations with Like.
But there are QM interpretations where the results are epistemic and the assumptions you refer to are violated. For example, the Bohmian...

Mmattt reacted to A. Neumaier's post in the thread Undergrad Physicists disagree wildly on what quantum mechanics says about real… with Like.
See, e.g., the discussion in the last two sections of D. Wallace, The quantum theory of fields, and his Reading List in Philosophy of...

Mmattt reacted to Peter Morgan's post in the thread Undergrad Physicists disagree wildly on what quantum mechanics says about real… with Like.
Thanks for this, @gentzen. I found it on the CI of QM page for SEP. What I now find remarkable is that contextuality is a very natural...

Haha.
It is not any better in other languages either. -
Mmattt reacted to Demystifier's post in the thread Undergrad Question about discussions around quantum interpretations with Like.
If you agree that isolated atom evolves deterministically, then non-determinism must be associated with interaction with the...

MBased on the thermal interpretation, I developed a quantum version of the classical, mechanical universe suggested by Laplace over 200...

Mmattt reacted to Morbert's post in the thread Graduate Understanding Barandes' microscopic theory of causality with Like.
The only relevance systems that partition into a measured system and a measurement device/environment have is they are the systems we...
