Ppines-demon reacted to renormalize's post in the thread History Biographies, History, Philosophy of Physics with
Like.
Paul Merriam's arXiv paper reads more like philosophy, with a capital P, not physics. All of its recent references appear in philosophy... -

Ppines-demon reacted to PeterDonis's post in the thread I Modern View of Quantum Phenomena with Like.
That's not the assumption I'm questioning. The assumption I'm questioning is that "the relativity principle" is the same for Galilean...

Ppines-demon reacted to PeterDonis's post in the thread I Modern View of Quantum Phenomena with Like.
No, they don't. They're not a group in 3+1 spacetime; they're not closed under composition. Only in 1+1 spacetime do Lorentz boosts by...

Ppines-demon replied to the thread I Modern View of Quantum Phenomena.You seems to want to say that something can follow the first postulate of relativity independent if it is a relativistic or a...

Ppines-demon reacted to PeterDonis's post in the thread I Modern View of Quantum Phenomena with Like.
No, I'm not. I'm pointing out that "the relativity principle", as far as physics is concerned, is not one thing. Galilean invariance is...

Ppines-demon replied to the thread I Modern View of Quantum Phenomena.I guess I can try to understand what you mean here. But reading it for the first time, it looks like a complete fallacy. What you can...

Ppines-demon reacted to sbrothy's post in the thread History Biographies, History, Philosophy of Physics with Like.
Not much to report from here recently. I mean papers bluntly define themselves as metaphysics and iterate all the really hard problems...

Ppines-demon replied to the thread B Schrödinger's cat question.There is a big gap on why the Schrödinger cat is interesting vs what is intended by popular physics. How each community uses the...

Ppines-demon replied to the thread I Commutator of x and p in quantum mechanics.A common way to quantize classical systems ("canonical quantization") is indeed to take conjugate variables ##q,p## that follow Poisson...

Ppines-demon replied to the thread History Interesting anecdotes in the history of physics?.Inspired by Solitaire During the Manhattan Project, Stanisław Ulam was set in charge of a problem related to nuclear reactions. He...

Haha.
I cannot take this paper even remotely serious: Quantum Panprotopsychism and a Consciousness-centered Universe Even though I know... -
Ppines-demon replied to the thread I Does Time-Symmetry Imply Retrocausality? How does the Quantum World Say “Maybe”?.I agree I'm just saying would not choose the retro-causality poison over the others. Sure in retro-causality you throw all that away so...

Ppines-demon reacted to PeterDonis's post in the thread A Baryon CP Violation Observed at CERN with Like.
The SM predicts CP violation in certain quark processes, which includes both mesons and baryons. As far as I can tell from the paper...

Ppines-demon replied to the thread I Does Time-Symmetry Imply Retrocausality? How does the Quantum World Say “Maybe”?.There is so much debate in terminology in quantum interpretations that fixing the right words is complicated. But the point is how do we...
