ohwilleke reacted to Andrew Mason's post in the thread High School Where does inertia come from? with Like.
It does not explain inertia of a fundamental particle of matter. But if one assumes that matter is made up of fundamental particles...

ohwilleke reacted to PeroK's post in the thread Undergrad Gerard 't Hooft on the incompleteness of quantum mechanics with Like.
Here's an analogy. Determinism would say that the outcome of every soccer match is predetermined. Or, at least, that the outcome...

ohwilleke reacted to Demystifier's post in the thread Undergrad Gerard 't Hooft on the incompleteness of quantum mechanics with Like.
That's also true for determinism. The difference between determinism and superdeterminism is the following: Determinism postulates...

ohwilleke reacted to Sambuco's post in the thread Undergrad Gerard 't Hooft on the incompleteness of quantum mechanics with Like.
For those interested, there is a very recent paper (from two weeks ago) that analyzes how many derivations of the Born rule, which start...

ohwilleke replied to the thread High School Where does inertia come from?.Normally, we recognize this as an observed law of Nature and consider any "mechanism" beyond that to be unknowable. One alternative...

ohwilleke reacted to PeterDonis's post in the thread Undergrad Gerard 't Hooft on the incompleteness of quantum mechanics with Like.
No, we don't, because there are interpretations of QM in which the randomness is only apparent, not fundamental.

ohwilleke reacted to iste's post in the thread Undergrad Gerard 't Hooft on the incompleteness of quantum mechanics with Like.
But random processes can also be described eith a deterministic time-evolution so I don't think the fact Schrodinger evolution is...

ohwilleke replied to the thread Undergrad Gerard 't Hooft on the incompleteness of quantum mechanics.Even if QM were fundamentally deterministic, and I agree that there is experimental evidence suggesting that pre-collapse that the...

ohwilleke reacted to Matterwave's post in the thread Undergrad Gerard 't Hooft on the incompleteness of quantum mechanics with Like.
It seems t' Hooft is appealing to a known loophole in Bell's theorem, that of "super determinism". It is true that Bell relied on a...

In coherent unitary evolution of quantum states prior to measurement. There is a lot of evidence that the state is correctly described...

ohwilleke replied to the thread Graduate What is new with Koide sum rules?.The new paper's predicted neutrino mass seems high. And, I'm not a huge fan of the indiscriminate brute force approach of considering...

ohwilleke reacted to mitchell porter's post in the thread Graduate What is new with Koide sum rules? with Like.
It was good enough for someone else to join the Koide-Alikhanov train: "A Catalog of Lepton Mass Textures from Koide and Alikhanov...

ohwilleke replied to the thread High School What ever happened to Classical Unified Field Theory?.There are maybe a dozen or two preprints filed in the General Relativity and Cosmology category of arXiv on this subject every year (I...
