It is worth noting that this statement about wave function collapse is interpretation-dependent. In fact, this is true only for some...

Is that like the difference between all dead and mostly dead?

Quantum fields aren't waves, they're operators. So I don't think "fields as fundamental" is the same thing as "wave-realist".

For those interested in how Schrodinger originally derived his famous equation and why it eventually gave the correct answer (after some...

This discussion felt a lot more substantive than the discussion with Maudlin, largely because a higher level of familiarity with the...

New Robinson Podcast -- David Albert w/ Jacob Barandes. David gives his version of the theory in the first segment. I haven't watched...

I have been investigating Barandes's approach further, and indeed, it is quite general and can be applied to QFT. As an overview of the...

The thread topic has been sufficiently discussed, and the thread is closed. Thanks to all who participated.

Interesting! I'd never thought of it that way. Lucas.

I think the difference here is that time dilation in SR is not an observable--it's something that's calculated by assuming a particular...

As an aside: There are analogous interpretational debates around special and general relativity. See e.g. substantivalist vs...

Sure, that's precisely why I said that no one is looking for an underlying mechanism to "explain" time dilation in special relativity...

Yes, and I agree that this is closely related to the fact that there is no consensus on how to reconstruct the formalism of the theory...

There is a possibility that there is no underlying mechanism that explains the phenomenon, just as there is none to explain, for...

In most similar discussions there is always a mess of different use of terms like local, causal, action etc. This looping part of the...
