Like.
In other words, kids shouldn't be allowed to be kids. And I question whether you'd get that much of an improvement. I think it would... -
PeterDonis reacted to syed's post in the thread I Is there a bad intuition or bad explanation in quantum entanglement? with Like.
oh okay There seems to be a misconception here. You are confusing the sense of an objective truth independent of measurement with the...

PeterDonis replied to the thread I Gravitational self-interaction: another attempt to replace Dark Matter.Um, that's the paper this whole thread is about. I already compared it to Deur's work in post #4.

PeterDonis replied to the thread I What Are the Limits of the Universe According to Cosmologists?.Moderator's note: An off topic subthread spawned by a post about ChatGPT has been deleted. Please keep the discussion here on topic...

PeterDonis replied to the thread I What Are the Limits of the Universe According to Cosmologists?.ChatGPT is an unacceptable reference here no matter how you use it. If you use it to give you clues, you still need to check your work...

PeterDonis reacted to Ibix's post in the thread I Synchronizing clocks in an inertial frame if light is anisotropic with Like.
No you aren't. Dividing the round trip time by two and assuming that is the appropriate clock offset is an assumption of isotropic light...

PeterDonis reacted to Dale's post in the thread I Synchronizing clocks in an inertial frame if light is anisotropic with Like.
Umm, A can already determine t[B1] in step 1.

PeterDonis reacted to Ibix's post in the thread I Synchronizing clocks in an inertial frame if light is anisotropic with Like.
Here's your assumption of isotropy. Edit: I misread the OP - as PeroK says,this is a ##c/2## one way, ##\infty## the other way...

Also did you read all of the material on this topic that we posted last time you asked a question on this same topic...

PeterDonis reacted to Herman Trivilino's post in the thread I Is there a bad intuition or bad explanation in quantum entanglement? with Like.
I can't speak for @Nugatory but my understanding of what he said is not that we shouldn't look, but that until we succeed in finding...

PeterDonis reacted to Nugatory's post in the thread I Is there a bad intuition or bad explanation in quantum entanglement? with Like.
By proposing a further explanation. Until this happens there is no explanation, just as a book does not exist until someone writes it.

PeterDonis replied to the thread I Question about discussions around quantum interpretations.In the MWI, that doesn't "impose probabilities"--it just means that "we experience" has to be interpreted very...um, carefully. In...

PeterDonis replied to the thread A Dirac's integral for the energy-momentum of the gravitational field.Actually, on thinking this over, I don't think that's what he meant. I think he meant a coordinate change that leaves the hypercylinder...

PeterDonis reacted to Demystifier's post in the thread I Do ensemble-based predictions truly describe real finite systems? with Like.
There is a simple but general principle how to determine whether a statistical ensemble describes well a real single system. The...
