Sure the probabilities are epistemic, as they can be in Bohmian mechanics but the formalisms are so different that I do not know if that even helps answering that question. Agree. The video is not really on topic.

One challenge in modern interpretations of physics is to not contradict anything Bell said. Not because it is hard, but because he is taken as the ultimate grain of truth (regarding his wording on interpretation of entanglement, not his theorem). I was reminded today of this passage of Sidney...

This seems to be in general and not necessarily specific to Barandes formulation

Also obituaries of scientists

Some forums have not had an update since January, the book subforum had not had an update since November. Maybe we can at least test it. People also do not post this stuff because there is no forum for it.

So in phase space, evolving in time, a particle will disappear in one place and pop in another, many times?

So it would look like a wavefunction squared?

For the omniscient observer would it look like a continuous motion of the particle? If not can we have at least a glimpse of what would that look like?

Yeah I mean a more specific history one, it's in the art, music, history and linguistics forum which mostly includes popular culture not necessarily science related.

[Mentor Note: Subthread split off from "Einstein visit to Manchester in 1921" thread https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/einsteins-visit-to-manchester-in-1921.1084407/ ] @Greg Bernhardt post like these are why we need a history of science forum :cool:, if not it gets lost with the lastest...

Yes I complained about this a while ago, I was told “just log in!”

I recently learned about this one: From: https://archive.nytimes.com/www.nytimes.com/books/first/h/hoffman-man.html

Heisenberg's pair production Here is a short one: Heisenberg met his future wife in a musical evenings in a publisher’s home. They marry in the next 3 months, later the couple went to the Austrian mountains for their honeymoon. Exactly nine months later, Heisenberg's wife gives birth to...

Do human rules apply to Erdos? He was a Martian

My issue here is the lack of a simple example, outside of quantum mechanics. Just because you can go from one picture to another it does not make it immediately more enlightening in the interpretation sense, but I am ok if you disagree. Sure but what about the usual definition? The reason I...
