QuarkyMeson reacted to Matterwave's post in the thread Undergrad Particle vs Wave Interpretations of QM with
Haha.
This seems to be a difficult assertion to rectify at face value. BM wave functions simply guide the motions of actual particles while... -
QuarkyMeson replied to the thread Undergrad Particle vs Wave Interpretations of QM.There's physics and then there's red wine physics. Bohmian mechanics, Everettian mechanics, collapse models, etc all reproduce...

QuarkyMeson replied to the thread Undergrad Particle vs Wave Interpretations of QM.Ah I had things like the meta interpretation of the MWI Many Minds, along with the Modal Interp and Consistent histories in mind.
-
QuarkyMeson replied to the thread Undergrad Particle vs Wave Interpretations of QM.Ah I remembered reading: https://arxiv.org/abs/2201.06087 and assumed even that was problematic, but I see your point. I'm looking at...

QuarkyMeson reacted to PeterDonis's post in the thread Undergrad Particle vs Wave Interpretations of QM with
Informative.
While in general this is a caveat that needs to be kept in mind, for the particular case under discussion here, spin measurements on... -
QuarkyMeson replied to the thread Undergrad Particle vs Wave Interpretations of QM.Branch number is not uniquely defined by decoherence. Decoherence yields an approximate branch structure, not a count of observers or...

QuarkyMeson reacted to robphy's post in the thread Graduate Square root of Kretschmann scalar: any known uses? with
Like.
While dimensional analysis is merely a guide, it obviously has to be followed up with seeing if it (obtained from a scalar formed from... -

More precisely, you don't interpret it as an actual process, but as an artifact of branching. See below. No, you can't do that, because...

QuarkyMeson replied to the thread Graduate Square root of Kretschmann scalar: any known uses?.I found this: https://link.springer.com/article/10.1140/epjc/s10052-024-13204-8 Having the dimensions of an energy density does not...

QuarkyMeson reacted to berkeman's post in the thread Undergrad A differential geometry question from continuum mechanics with Like.
Thread closed temporarily for Moderation and AI posting check...

QuarkyMeson reacted to Matterwave's post in the thread Undergrad Particle vs Wave Interpretations of QM with Like.
Yes, but I think a proponent of MWI would just use ##\Psi## and ##H##. Their contention is that those symbols in QM are the universal...

QuarkyMeson replied to the thread Is A.I. more than the sum of its parts?.If AGI is possible then any embodied AGI would be a universal constructor, so the milky way should be full of them. If we believe LLMs...

QuarkyMeson replied to the thread Is A.I. more than the sum of its parts?.I'm surprised people still ask Musk about his opinions at all, given his track record. Haha, so just watched more of the interview and...

This is correct. Note how you shift your ground here: you say "history" instead of "quantum state". There is only one quantum state in...

What does this even mean?
