PeroK replied to the thread Undergrad One does not “prove” the basic principles of Quantum Mechanics.How can you measure something that doesn't exist? Would two non-existent electrons be different from one non-existent electron? If... -
PeroK replied to the thread Undergrad One does not “prove” the basic principles of Quantum Mechanics.One could argue that if the electron does not exist between measurements, then it cannot be described by a state or wave-function (or... -
PeroK replied to the thread I am older than she is/than her....Language belongs to all of us. It's not defined by "grammarians". It's very different from mathematics, where things are more clearly... -
PeroK replied to the thread I am older than she is/than her....There's a difference between being informal and wrong. Language isn't a historical relic. We must allow the possibility for usage to... -
PeroK reacted to sophiecentaur's post in the thread Undergrad Is energy really conserved? with
Like.
How can you even suggest such an experiment? Where would you get two identical grinders with no (or at least equal) friction at every... -
PeroK replied to the thread Undergrad Is energy really conserved?.During those 10000 seconds, if energy is going into the system but the system maintains a constant mechanical energy, then that energy... -
PeroK replied to the thread How far will we let AI control us?.Not at all. I think there are aspects of human thought that are objectively different from LLM's. The problem is that it's not a... -
PeroK replied to the thread How far will we let AI control us?.This is another a priori argument. Listen to what you are saying: I, Dave C, have certain opinions about abstract art. These opinions... -
PeroK replied to the thread How far will we let AI control us?.Exactly. Some process are carbon-based; some are silicon based. They are not equivalent. If your objective criteria is how something...
