PeterDonis replied to the thread Undergrad Revisiting the Light Clock.Not if you're going to do it this way. You keep refusing to do what several people now have told you to do: use the Lorentz... -

Like.
This depends on the details of a given scenario and is not true in general, no? In the case of your extreme example, I could specify... -
PeterDonis replied to the thread Undergrad Valid local explanation of Bell violations? (Pegg et al., 1999; 2008).No, they are not. A measurement result is not the same as the quantum state before the measurement. They are "evolving" Alice's...

PeterDonis replied to the thread High School Am I understanding the concept of proper frame of reference?.The parenthetical statement here is not correct; the article specifies an accelerated observer as the one that is at rest in that...

PeterDonis replied to the thread High School Am I understanding the concept of proper frame of reference?.Ok. As you yourself note in the TL/DR to this thread, this article defines a proper reference frame as a particular kind of accelerated...

PeterDonis replied to the thread High School Am I understanding the concept of proper frame of reference?.Please give a specific link; Wikipedia is a very big site.

PeterDonis replied to the thread High School Am I understanding the concept of proper frame of reference?.I'm not sure what you mean by "the right meaning". What source is that? This sounds like you are trying to develop your own personal...

PeterDonis replied to the thread Undergrad Valid local explanation of Bell violations? (Pegg et al., 1999; 2008).The information that is being sent back in time from Alice's measurement to the source, and then forward in time from the source to...

PeterDonis replied to the thread Undergrad Valid local explanation of Bell violations? (Pegg et al., 1999; 2008).It doesn't, in any sense that matters. What you are calling "retrodiction" is not actually "retrodicting" anything. You're not using...

I think I know what you are getting at. It is common to see the term "quantum indeterminacy" melded into terms like "random" and...

PeterDonis replied to the thread Undergrad Revisiting the Light Clock.What does this have to do with the light clock? A light clock only has one light pulse (one ray), not a fan of rays. That said, you can...

PeterDonis replied to the thread Undergrad Revisiting the Light Clock.You're wrong because you're using the wrong tools for the job you're trying to do. You haven't done what I strongly advised you to do in...

The conclusion that I mentioned was this: Your starting point is that the light clock is wrong. It is not. So that is a wrong starting...

PeterDonis replied to the thread Undergrad Valid local explanation of Bell violations? (Pegg et al., 1999; 2008).I think you need to justify this statement with some kind of reference to the literature. AFAIK nobody has ever tried to defend this...

PeterDonis replied to the thread Undergrad Valid local explanation of Bell violations? (Pegg et al., 1999; 2008).No, it relies on two "random" measurement outcomes which are spacelike separated, but which are nevertheless correlated in a way that...
