PeterDonis replied to the thread Undergrad Revisiting the Light Clock.Sorry, but as it stands, I see no point in doing this, because you have left out crucial things. Here is what I think you need to do to... -
PeterDonis replied to the thread Undergrad One does not “prove” the basic principles of Quantum Mechanics.Moderator's note: Thread moved to the interpretations subforum. -
PeterDonis replied to the thread Undergrad One does not “prove” the basic principles of Quantum Mechanics.Just as with the wave function in ordinary non-relativistic QM, the ontological status one assigns to quantum fields in QFT is... -
PeterDonis replied to the thread Undergrad One does not “prove” the basic principles of Quantum Mechanics.You missed this part: "even these events can be described in a different way by different physical systems". This is the part I would... -
PeterDonis replied to the thread Undergrad Valid local explanation of Bell violations? (Pegg et al., 1999; 2008).Which is not an entangled state, so, as I said, this can't possibly make correct predictions about Bell inequality violations, which... -
PeterDonis replied to the thread Undergrad Valid local explanation of Bell violations? (Pegg et al., 1999; 2008).If that's true, then their retrodiction can't make correct predictions, because it can't account for the presence of the Bell... -

When I bring up that "researchgate" link, I get the abstract and the references - but not the full article. From what I gather, in that... -

PeterDonis replied to the thread What type of energy is actually stored inside an atom?.Not the "initial source"--the electromagnetic field energy itself didn't appear out of nowhere. According to our best current models... -

How can you measure something that doesn't exist? Would two non-existent electrons be different from one non-existent electron? If... -

One could argue that if the electron does not exist between measurements, then it cannot be described by a state or wave-function (or... -

This is your claim, but so far your quotes are not convinicing. I am not sure about this either. Just before this it says "Heisenberg...
