PeterDonis replied to the thread Graduate Entanglement swapping and Bohmian mechanics.I agree that, given the various complications that have been discussed in subsequent posts (some of which you allude to), saying "a swap... -
PeterDonis replied to the thread Graduate Entanglement swapping and Bohmian mechanics.I think this is somewhat too strong. Consider this from a previous post of mine: Generalizing on this: for a swap into the ##\Phi^\pm##...

PeterDonis replied to the thread Graduate Entanglement swapping and Bohmian mechanics.Yes, as @Morbert pointed out, what I was calling my "bucket 1" is not really "swap attempted but no swap", but "swap that the...

Like.
1. I think "implies" is fair. 2. I would certainly include any automated "auxiliary random process" as being an expression of the... -
PeterDonis replied to the thread Graduate Entanglement swapping and Bohmian mechanics.The Hilbert space doesn't change just because you make a measurement or perform a unitary operation. The full Hilbert space describing...

PeterDonis replied to the thread Graduate Entanglement swapping and Bohmian mechanics.Ah, I see. So my buckets 0 and 1 will not show the same statistics. For an interpretation with actual collapse, yes. But we are using...

PeterDonis reacted to Dale's post in the thread High School Einstein equations don't work at large scale? with Like.
This is a very important point in understanding how science actually works. Popper popularized the idea of falsification, but...

PeterDonis reacted to Dale's post in the thread High School I don't understand the Michelson–Morley experiment with Like.
Probably it is best to not hijack your own thread. You already have another thread in this topic...

PeterDonis replied to the thread High School Einstein equations don't work at large scale?.Not "wrong", no. It is a valid approximation to GR in the regime where gravity is weak and all relative speeds are small compared to the...

The interesting thing about intuition is that it is not fixed. Intuition is built on experience. At this point I have enough experience...

That is certainly a possibility. It is under investigation. However, even if it turns out to be true, relativity and spacetime...

This source does not meet the PF standards. So we can certainly discuss your questions, but we will not be relying on or discussing the...

PeterDonis replied to the thread High School Einstein equations don't work at large scale?.More precisely, if we just use the matter we can actually see as the source in the Einstein Field Equation, the model does not match the...

PeterDonis reacted to Lord Jestocost's post in the thread Undergrad Spatial separation of entangled particles implies physical separability? with Like.
“For this purpose let us suppose that we have two systems, ##I## and ##II##, which we permit to interact from the time ##t=0## to...

PeterDonis reacted to Matterwave's post in the thread Undergrad Spatial separation of entangled particles implies physical separability? with Like.
EPR made an implicit assumption in their argument that indeed you can stop the two particles from interacting with each other...
