@Morbert you have played more with the math, what does t mean for a two level system, let's say a switch with two positions. What is the difference between the switch being in state up and it being in superposition of up plus down? In the first case it remains there forever while in the other...

How I am not following this discussion?! Edit: Oh I see, this is that 2025 podcast.

Well (assuming free particle) starting at ##|\psi(t=0)\rangle=|x_0\rangle## you need only to carry $$|\psi(t)\rangle=e^{-i\hat H t/\hbar}|x_0\rangle=\int_{-\infty}^{\infty} \mathrm dx\,\sqrt{\frac{m}{2\pi i\hbar t}}\exp\!\left(\frac{i m(x-x_0)^2}{2\hbar t}\right)|x\rangle$$ so it acquires a...

Sure, consider it a "yes and" instead.

Is philosophy and science two different fields? Because many did that.

So AI is the ultimate arbiter here? You should decide what counts and check that AI is right about what it says.

Yes but also outer space (in the sky) is at 3K, the windshield facing away from the house is cooling by emitting heat away. This is the principle of radiative cooling.

Putting aside scientists that were also philosophers and scientists that were also politicians, I would consider: Thomas Young, not only greatly famous for proving that light is a wave (and also a bunch of things in mathematics, hearing, music and more) but also famous for being one of the main...

1. yes 2. yes, note that there is no difference between the top lid and the other lids as in this problem gravity is mostly irrelevant 3. it depends on the temperature of the fruits, large temperature differences will result in more meaningful heat transfer.

I have a friend that during undergrad did all of the problems of Cohen-Tannoudji.

I strongly believe printer companies do not sell printers or software for printers, they sell ink. Printers are relatively cheap now, what they want is that you subscribe to these companies for ink cartridges which cost much more in the long run. You need to buy more cartridges even if some ink...

More like Barandes interpretation does not want to define its properties in terms of usual entanglement terminology. I still don’t know if it super deterministic, hidden variables non local or something else (à la MWI). He wants to define it under Barandes made-up terms, by which nonlocality...

The problem with Penrose consciousness argument is that it is full of holes, it is based on some quantum property of microtubules (the only part that can be falsified), which he mysteriously connects with Gödel incompleteness theorem (like what is the link there??? also he clearly assumes his...

Indeed that is known as the probability definition problem of MWI.

There are AI blockers? what are you using?
