    Undergrad What is the actual definition of the position of an object?

    I only believe that an observer or position detector will give the trajectory as predicted by laws of motion . Think of position as just a value given by a position detector with respect to time. Then there will be no meaning of position without observer

    Undergrad What is the actual definition of the position of an object?

    The body passes through a specific position at a specific time that means an observer is continuously observing that body and at some particular time he gets that particular value of position which you are talking about . Thus it is absolutely an event ( getting specific value of position by...

    Undergrad What is the actual definition of the position of an object?

    No I never asserted that . Events and phenomenon occur irrespective of whether there is an external observer or not . Events and observables are not the same thing thus noise(phenomenon ) due to a falling(event) tree cannot be compared with value of observable due to observation .

    Undergrad What is the actual definition of the position of an object?

    It is not about gain it is about logic and definition . Some quantities are always same when measured like mass(as far as I know) , charge , intelligence(of a person) , etc . Those properties you are calling intrinsic properties because they don't appear to be dependent on observation. But you...

    Undergrad What is the actual definition of the position of an object?

    I think yes . Every observable is the property ofobservation .

    You know brain is attached to a body between the ears so only after "interacting or observing" my ears you can get position values for my ears and then calculate my brain position .

    OK now I will be very specific . Define what is position (in any way that you want)

    Undergrad What is the actual definition of the position of an object?

    What do you mean by an object "is in". Observations only give a sense of "is in" .So I don't think that we can define position without observation

    I said to also define location if you use that term

    Undergrad What is the actual definition of the position of an object?

    Then how do you define far away ? Also consider that can you define position with interaction.

    Undergrad What is the actual definition of the position of an object?

    Can you ever perceive position of an object without interaction ? If no then it is just a property of interaction with the object and not object itself . If we continuously observe an object in time we see that the curve of location or position with respect to time is continuous with respect to...

    Undergrad What is the actual definition of the position of an object?

    We always talk of position of objects but what is the actual definition of position ? If someone say that it is the "space coordinate or set of coordinates where the object is located" then he have to define also what is meant by located . Is position just a value or set of values that we get...

    Undergrad Observing observables of an entity

    By entities I mean something that we know it exists . I can never say it is localized in space . I can say that when I measure it's location I get one and only one value.

    Undergrad Observing observables of an entity

    Nowhere I found any text regarding how do observation takes place so my research is done in my copy using my own thinking . And in quantum mechanics different interpretations are there . So I have also developed my own interpretation . According to my research (may be wrong) which is...

    Undergrad Observing observables of an entity

    How do you define a particle and a quantum state? Only after knowing that I can say what I mean according to you.
