Skeptical.
I've read that there are a few interpretations about this (the ontic and epistemic view), but I'm curious about you guys. What's your... -

When you say a real obejct, what do yo mean by that? -

Hum, is the number 3 a real object? I would say no but that’s just me.

Whether or not the wave function real is in the sense of ontic is interpretation dependent.

Ppines-demon replied to the thread History Biographies, History, Philosophy of Physics.Don't be so hard on yourself we all do mistakes. I find much worse inaccuracies every day just looking at social media.

Ppines-demon replied to the thread History Biographies, History, Philosophy of Physics.I have the feeling that we already discussed something similar about this case, but anyway, do you know which scientists did not shake...

Ppines-demon replied to the thread Big Ben In N Dimensions.So we keep the Big Ben as it is no matter the dimension? Make sense. But then wouldn't the visibility of an equilateral-triangle base...

Ppines-demon replied to the thread Big Ben In N Dimensions.What do I do if I am looking at a vertex? Let's say we put the 6 clock faces in the faces of a cube, what happens when looking at three...
-
PWith an isosceles the minimum angle goes under 30 degrees, so poor visibility from some points.
-
POh. OK. 30 degrees is an arbitrary practical viewing angle. But technically, anything greater than zero is viewable, right?
-
Ppines-demon replied to the thread Big Ben In N Dimensions.And you want to have symmetrical faces right? you can get angles larger than 30 degrees with an isosceles triangle for example.
-
PFour clock faces, one for each side of the square. For a triangular base the minimum angle between an observer and a face would be 30...

Informative.
What about ch7? Is it a good presentation of Bohmian mechanics?
