Ssyed replied to the thread I Physicists disagree wildly on what quantum mechanics says about real….I have a degree in physics. Secondly, contrary to what you might think, many physicists don't really think about these issues as much...
-
Ssyed replied to the thread I Physicists disagree wildly on what quantum mechanics says about real….Again, this just isn't describing the issue correctly and is a common misunderstanding. You literally cannot even test QM's truth...
-
Ssyed replied to the thread I Physicists disagree wildly on what quantum mechanics says about real….This is not an accurate way of viewing things. It is not that we have a true quantum explanation of the world that is complete and that...
-
Ssyed replied to the thread I Carroll interviews Barandes on Indivisible Stochastic QM.sounds a lot like the Copenhagen interpretation :) What's common to both of these is that they fail to concretely define what is...
-
Ssyed replied to the thread I Physicists disagree wildly on what quantum mechanics says about real…."shut up and calculate" is often related to the Copenhagen interpretation. The term comes from David Mermin and he coined it to...
-
Ssyed replied to the thread I Is there any interpretation of QM that doesn't clash with intuition?.It is hard to distinguish between wrong interpretations and correct but unintuitive interpretations. I think that a lot of people just...

Ssyed replied to the thread I Physicists disagree wildly on what quantum mechanics says about real….the theory doesn't tell you to shut up and calculate though, that itself is an interpretation :) but otherwise, agreed
-
Ssyed replied to the thread I Can entanglement swapping be explained without nonlocal influences?.The reason why he and other modern physicists are brought up is because people also very commonly and falsely imply that these kinds of...
-
Ssyed replied to the thread A How Does MWI explain Type I PDC Photon Polarization Entanglement?.Entanglement arises not from separate branches merging, but from the global wavefunction maintaining coherence before any branching...
-
Ssyed replied to the thread I Can entanglement swapping be explained without nonlocal influences?.Not necessarily, since there are nonlocal theories that posit a preferred frame of reference. This contradicts relativity but this...
-
Ssyed replied to the thread I Can entanglement swapping be explained without nonlocal influences?.Wanting an explanation doesn’t automatically mean demanding a classical mechanism (it seems that you're assuming this). The real issue...

Ssyed reacted to Demystifier's post in the thread I Can entanglement swapping be explained without nonlocal influences? with
Informative.
My main problem with standard Copenhagenish QM is not that it is too abstract, but that it is not abstract enough. By that I mean the... -
Ssyed replied to the thread I Can entanglement swapping be explained without nonlocal influences?.“Physics is like sex: sure, it may give some practical results, but that’s not why we do it." - Richard Feynman
-
Ssyed replied to the thread I Can entanglement swapping be explained without nonlocal influences?.The claim that quantum mechanics is “just mathematics” and that “the explanation is the math” is not a neutral scientific statement, but...
-
Ssyed replied to the thread I Can entanglement swapping be explained without nonlocal influences?.But is there a non classical way of explaining what's happening in entanglement that doesn't just amount to restating the phenomenon or...
