Well then Alfred,
While this is the philosophy section of the forum, you seem to be dismissing my argumentation because it is "purely philosophical".
In YOUR universe, are any of my arguments about mass-less entities interacting with particles of mass different then the rest of us? In...
Ok, Alfred.
But may I ask how you define physical? Are all sub-atomic particles physical. How about the photon which has not mass? Is is physical? Yet it, without mass, acted in a physical world of particles with mass as a messenger of what is 'out there'.
Every particle with mass...
Alfred,
So you are saying that you are 'physical' and you are the 'observer', therefore all observers must be physical. Then you ask others to prove you wrong in this subjective, inductive reasoning. :smile: Do you not first need to prove that it is your being 'physical' that qualifies...

Thankyou Carabou for that summary.
This is new to me, and interesting
Can you direct me to anything published of this sort that an amature physicist can get into?

But, is that correct? Since the gravitational...

Thanks for the welcome Reilly
I can't say I subscribe to a view, but being relatively knew to QM I have no prior paradigm to overcome. What I see, however, is a general inability on the part of many to relate the QM world to the macro world.
Einstein hated the uncertainty, the...

"makes physics look like it's reaching for mysticism and serves no useful purpose."
I'm new here, but is it "reaching for mysticism" or is it looking for a new paradigm and the mystics happen to have the trade mark on the view that works?
