And that being so, I have removed that part of the thread title.

More precisely, she figures that that is the elapsed time that an Earth clock will show at an event on Earth that is simultaneous, in...

I don't see why, since QM interpretations that do not say that the state vector represents the complete description of the system still...

Hm. Their statement "standard quantum mechanics, where the state vector is assumed to provide a complete description of the physical...

I still don't understand. You say: Which already tells you "which of the propagation pictures discussed around post #95 is closer to...

Mathematically, the way QM arrives at its prediction is clear: each individual photon's wave function contains inteference terms, and...

OK, so the test you are proposing is actually not a strong test of this. If you want to test for “apparatus history” you would want the...

But it would cost time and effort that could be spent on something else. And since, as I've already pointed out, the hypothesis you say...

But we've already tested this--the "standard" double slit at low intensity, where one photon at a time is inside the same apparatus, has...

That is correct, QM predicts the same outcome with both methods (though in practical terms doing it the second way, a new detector...

What is the physical significance of this angular distribution? Why would we want a sensitive measurement of it?

In that case the tube will simply reduce the overall wave intensity as well as confining the wave to within the tube. Ok, but if what...

It matters because the reason for wanting a measure with the properties Gleason's Theorem requires is to be a probability measure for...

* I'll try to keep this as short as possible. I was planning to respond to your DM. But since you've gone public, giving everyone the...

I won't belabor the point because it's too far off topic (besides, it's been well covered in Atlas Shrugged). Fortunately life isn't as...
