Ppines-demon reacted to PeroK's post in the thread I Can this experiment break Lorentz symmetry? with
Like.
Researchers into quantum gravity are not going to change course because a student somewhere is mixing up classical physics and relativity! -

Triggered by this thread: RIP Rainer Weiss (1932-2025) arXiv: DEDICATED TO COSMOLOGY AND GRAVITATION - AS TOLD BY RAINER WEISS -
Ppines-demon replied to the thread I Violation of Bell Inequality with unentangled photons.I was under the impression that it did not but I could not figure it out from the original paper. Wharton pre-print above says it is...

Ppines-demon reacted to PeterDonis's post in the thread I Violation of Bell Inequality with unentangled photons with
Informative.
It meets the standard definition of entanglement, correct? The joint state of the two particles can't be factorized into a product of... -

Like.
What is indistiguishable here, the photons or something else? -
Ppines-demon replied to the thread I Violation of Bell Inequality with unentangled photons.If this experiment holds it looks like a competitor to DrChinese's entanglement swapping arguments :oldbiggrin:

Ppines-demon reacted to chimay's post in the thread Solid State Ashcroft and Mermin: revised edition with
Like.
Hi, I have notice that Ashcroft, Mermin and Wei worked at a revised edition of the original solid state physics book (here). The book... -
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...

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...

Not much to report from here recently. I mean papers bluntly define themselves as metaphysics and iterate all the really hard problems...
