Paul Colby replied to the thread A question about quantum entanglement.By this view, why isn’t QM more understandable to you than classical physics? It’s clearly a better theory. All the things known about... -
Paul Colby replied to the thread A question about quantum entanglement.It may well happen that this deeper understanding will be even less understandable in the sense that people find QM at the moment. I see... -
Paul Colby replied to the thread Graduate Musing on the Foundations of Statistical Mechanics.One comment, $$dS = \frac{\delta Q}{T} $$ was know from thermodynamics. Unclear that atoms were even a thing when this form of... -
Paul Colby replied to the thread Graduate How valid is the indivisible interpretation of quantum mechanics?.Inequality with QM is by far the more interesting question. People definitely get benefits from reformulating a problem in different... -
Paul Colby replied to the thread Graduate How valid is the indivisible interpretation of quantum mechanics?.If it is a new theory, the authors clearly don't know either. -

A search on the arxiv number of the paper didn't turn up any other threads here on PF. So I think we're good. -

Paul Colby replied to the thread Graduate How valid is the indivisible interpretation of quantum mechanics?.I agree. In philosophy any statement X may be argued as well as any statement not X with no acceptable means of determining which, if... -
Paul Colby replied to the thread Graduate How valid is the indivisible interpretation of quantum mechanics?.Clearly, I can’t. Which is also my point. Neither has anyone else. I’m also not the one employing such a term. -

Ah, ok. This references several papers by Jacob Barandes, whose work has been discussed in previous PF threads. This one is probably the... -
Paul Colby replied to the thread Graduate How valid is the indivisible interpretation of quantum mechanics?.So, dressing the same physics up in a different mathematical framework definitely can have value. However, how is this mathematical... -
Paul Colby replied to the thread Graduate Geometry of Bluetooth Field.And, such a tractable problem at that. -

Here's a nice review paper from 2023: Proton decay. You can probably find more up-to-date info by using Google Scholar to search for... -
