There is a Q&A at the end, starting at 49:19, which contains stuff not contained in that transcript. Below, I collected how I tried to...

Thanks, I prefer reading so I found S. Weinberg, "The Trouble of Quantum Mechanics" (2017), The New York Review It might be found...

The quote from the conclusion. This one Reads like the typical pop science QM exposition of the wave particle duality.

Clarivate Citations are scheduled for the 25 September, tune in at that time. Meanwhile you can check Veritasium's video on the...

The Dirac equation is beautiful!

See: I haven't watched it myself - about to. It would seem he thinks none are any good. I believe his folk theorem clarifies a...

What was Weinberg take on interpretations? he scores a bit low in orthodoxy.

Wow, I had read Ballentine's orthodoxity measure as 0.88, but actually it is -0.88. Which makes total sense to me.

But his book is nearly as far as possible from the consensus textbook orthodoxy; see the last paragraph of p.20 in Beck's paper!

The bulk charge does not intrinsically produce a surface charge. Consider the case of a sphere with uniform charge density. In that case...

But do you at least have the electric field inside and outside the medium?

Don't worry Ballentine made it to the list.

Can you tell me what is the electric field inside the fluid and outside (at least an example)?

tl;dr summary: We will not here consider quantum field theory whatsoever. I suppose that's part of what orthodoxy requires: we can...

Im reading this on a phone so maybe I am missing something. But the electric field is different inside and outside the medium, the...
