I don't think you should count on this. It's often shocking how careless people/companies are on things that they are experts at.

Wait, that is where the missing socks go. They tunnel into the floor.

If you've lost your cat, don't blame Quantum Mechanics.

If that's your question then, yes. Quantum objects don't hold information that determines the outcome of the interaction was my test...

@geordief your questions aren't really answerable because you're using vague ordinary language instead of precise math. Words like...

Something similar happens with waves in classical physics: the phase is determined by our choice of where we choose ##t=0##. I'm not...

This thread has reached and passed the point of diminishing returns and will remain closed.

Just to point out that in individual cases, a vector ##\left|\psi\right.\rangle## can be a simultaneous eigenstate of non-commuting...

I have every Larry Niven book ever written. :wink: Alas, there appears to be a paucity of neutron stars with smoke rings in our Solar...

Who needs gravity? Check out "The Integral Trees" by Larry Niven.

It is Newsweek doing their best to describe what is going on in to a non-technical audience using non-technical math-free language.

That might be true if you're considering only the intro-level study of general relativity, but there's an enormous amount of active work...

You are conflating a bunch of different things here. Much of what you mention above (probability as squared amplitudes, role of...

you can, but you’re using the time dilation formula in the calculation…. and the derivation of that formula includes the assumption that...

Of course not. You’re trying to apply non-relativistic quantum mechanics to a problem in which relativistic effects matter.
