PeterDonis replied to the thread Undergrad Prof Mike Wiest's proposed link between quantum and consciousness.We won't know that for sure until we have a confirmed theory of quantum gravity. :wink: -
PeterDonis reacted to .Scott's post in the thread Undergrad Entanglement might be the result of an underlying law? with
Like.
I won't answer that question, but I will point out that if the laws of Physics were not followed, we would not be here to discuss it. In... -
PeterDonis replied to the thread Undergrad Prof Mike Wiest's proposed link between quantum and consciousness.I don't think the research program referred to is to use quantum gravity to explain the brain specifically. I think it is to use quantum... -
PeterDonis replied to the thread Undergrad Prof Mike Wiest's proposed link between quantum and consciousness.It should be noted that there are plenty of others who disagree with this point of view. One of the most notable arguments against it... -
PeterDonis replied to the thread Undergrad Prof Mike Wiest's proposed link between quantum and consciousness.As far as his claimed effect of microtubule-binding drugs on anesthesia, I have no idea. That sort of discussion belongs in the... -
PeterDonis replied to the thread Graduate Discussion of "Two-Time Physics" (I. Bars) and its potential cosmological implications.@Anzerskiy you marked this thread as "B" level, but this is definitely not a "B" level topic. It's an "A" level topic (i.e., graduate... -
PeterDonis replied to the thread Graduate Understanding Barandes' microscopic theory of causality.I just used magic moderator powers to edit the post and remove that paragraph. Please take a look and make sure I did it right. -

I agree, but... The issue I tried to address in my last post is about how it is possible, within Barandes's formulation, to restrict the... -
PeterDonis reacted to Demystifier's post in the thread Undergrad Are fields' reality only a relative one? with
Like.
If the fields of the Standard Model are not fundamental, then what is? We don't know. It could be some other fields, or it could be... -
PeterDonis replied to the thread Insights Why Entangled Photon-Polarization Qubits Violate Bell’s Inequality.Instead of guessing, you should look at what you actually said that prompted that response from me, which was: If you seriously don't... -
PeterDonis replied to the thread Graduate Understanding Barandes' microscopic theory of causality.Why not? That doesn't seem right. -
PeterDonis replied to the thread Graduate Understanding Barandes' microscopic theory of causality.But you can't have it both ways. That indivisible transition map of the entire universe will have to include all the subsystems. Which... -
PeterDonis replied to the thread Graduate Understanding Barandes' microscopic theory of causality.Let me try to rephrase this question for @Morbert. The "branches" being talked about here are branches of the wave function. The... -

If I understand correctly, you're saying that, in some way, all the branches are still present, even though the probability of... -

Maybe I'm misunderstanding something, but after a division event isn't the definition ##p(z_i\omega_i, t | z_j\omega_j,t') =...
