    Undergrad Gerard 't Hooft on the incompleteness of quantum mechanics

    Exactly. Superdeterminism is not much about determinism but about avoiding statistical independence. Under superdeterminism we are unable to REDUCE the correlations between systems no matter what we do.

    Undergrad Gerard 't Hooft on the incompleteness of quantum mechanics

    Sure but it is not who said it that matters, it is the argument. "Authorities" can be right for the wrong reasons. Sure but that is too vague of a post. As nothing was defined clearly most users are going into tangents that have no relation to 't Hooft's work.

    Undergrad Gerard 't Hooft on the incompleteness of quantum mechanics

    We avoid fallacy of appealing to authority? Edit: you have not answered what you wanted to discuss here

    Graduate Looking for a mathematically rigorous definition of a Quantum Field

    As the usual joke goes: a field is an element that transforms as a field

    Undergrad Gerard 't Hooft on the incompleteness of quantum mechanics

    Did you watch it? what did you find worth discussing? There is something specific you don't understand? What did you find interesting about it?

    Undergrad Gerard 't Hooft on the incompleteness of quantum mechanics

    This is low effort. Have you looked at why 't Hooft says that? Can you cite a specific text or video? In PF we request users to provide sources and a little deep read before starting a discussion in order to provide a better conversation. Also can a mod change the title to "Views of 't Hoof on...

    Undergrad Getting to the Heart of Entanglement and Locality in Plain English

    This is wrong. There are many ways to classically model why a single spin gives weird results. To get why entanglement is weird beyond hope, try the Mermin device in post #37.

    Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2026,

    Why is key? It could be random, the key seems to find the right natural amplifying mechanism.

    Undergrad Getting to the Heart of Entanglement and Locality in Plain English

    Bell's theorem is the way to go. However we don't need the full Bell theorem to get that there is something non-classical going on in entanglement. The best way to make one-self an interpretation of quantum mechanics is to imagine a classical world (including relativity but no quantum...

    Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2026,

    So according to the Nobel document their discovery solves the problem of the helicity of organic molecules on Earth. But have they identified the exact process that occurred on early years of Earth?

    Where Do Simplified Models Stop Being Useful in Physics?

    This post is very vague but the idea is that we always know (unless we are talking about quantum gravity) what the deeper theory is. For example for projectiles. We know we have to include a bunch of factors, Coriolis force, air resistance, or even relativistic calculations. However we also...

    Undergrad Nobel Prize in Physics 2026 predictions and results

    This year Nobel Prize in Medicine went to two biophysicists. Nobel Prize in Chemistry is interesting as it is related to how they mostly solve the problem of chirality of molecules on Earth.

    Undergrad Nobel Prize in Physics 2026 predictions and results

    The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award the Nobel Prize in Physics 2026 to FRANCIS HALZEN “for decisive contributions to the IceCube Neutrino Observatory and the discovery of high-energy neutrinos of astrophysical origin
