pines-demon's latest activity

A new paper (arxiv:2602.23491) seems relevant to the issues we're discussing here. Given its length, I need to reread it to draw...

Sure the probabilities are epistemic, as they can be in Bohmian mechanics but the formalisms are so different that I do not know if that...

One challenge in modern interpretations of physics is to not contradict anything Bell said. Not because it is hard, but because he is...

This seems to be in general and not necessarily specific to Barandes formulation

Poll?

So in phase space, evolving in time, a particle will disappear in one place and pop in another, many times?

So it would look like a wavefunction squared?

For the omniscient observer would it look like a continuous motion of the particle? If not can we have at least a glimpse of what would...

[Mentor Note: Subthread split off from "Einstein visit to Manchester in 1921" thread...

Yes I complained about this a while ago, I was told “just log in!”

The closest parallel I can think to draw is to canonical transformations in classical mechanics. Strictly speaking, a phase change does...

I found out a little bit about Einstein recently regarding his trip to Manchester June 9th 1921. I was surprised to find out that he...

No, my objection is not against randomness in general. The indivisible interpretation implies there are definite configurations for a...

Yes, that's the paper. Sure, I think the stcohastic-quantum correspondence is a valid way to argue that the quantum state is not...

Heisenberg's pair production Here is a short one: Heisenberg met his future wife in a musical evenings in a publisher’s home. They...
