Your responses are not feedback, they are criticisms which are different. A Feedback provides a constructive response, a criticism is simply pointing out a problem without providing any solutions. Criticisms are not conducive to fomenting a discussion but encourage an argument. "Not the way...

I'm not even sure it is worth replying. I came here to honestly learn and perhaps be educated and your responses honestly come across as demeaning to me, which makes me want to avoid replying. You clearly are educated and have a degree in Physics and I am neither educated in nor do I have a...

Thanks. Currently half way thru "Where does the weirdness Go?" by David Lindley. It's all pretty straight forward so far. Zero math and all logic. The Copenhagen interpretation, the Bohr interpretation, the EPR proposal and currently David Bohm's interpretation. It all comes down to...

Well I think this is why I'm lost. By trying to do my own "research" which I could understand I come across these archaic ideas and why I'm here asking. I'll continue to read the books recommended and if I have further questions I'll come back. Thanks for continuing to try and explain it...

So let me see if I understand this correctly. In the double slit experiment the band narrows until you reach the plank constant (the shortest measurable length constant) at which point then the band begins to widen and we see the sub bands or light and dark (or the interference waves)...

Uhmm.... OK. I thought that's the whole point of the double slit experiment. When we measure which slit it goes thru we see (or perhaps understand) light to behave as a particle and when not we see the wave pattern. Is this article then wrong and/or what should I think of light as if not a...

I'm trying to understand with my limited capacity of education. Yes, I get that people are people and it may not be a good example as quantum particles. My idea is that people have many different properties (age, height, girth, weight, gender, skin color, hair color, eye color, etc) just like...

OK - Forget people, I'm not trying to defend anything and it seems using people is triggering something I'm not interested in explaining or discussing. I'm trying to understand and I am using people simply as an example (like Schrodinger used a cat). Photons have many properties not just one...

I'm using the people as an example. I get that people are macroscopic and it isn't about the people that I'm talking about. I think you get too literal when I'm simply using an example. If I were to use 100 people in a test subject and only measure for one thing. I can't deduce anything else...

Isn't passing a photon thru a polarized lens another form of measuring and therefore forcing an answer? Even if it is a "passive" type of measurement. A non-polarized lens allows all photons to pass thru. A Polarized only allows a specific(s) type to pass thru, which ultimately means you are...

"3) After the slits, if the electron makes it through, it's state can be expressed as the superposition of two spatially separate states: one for each slit. Crucially, however, these states are no longer compact wave-packets. The interaction with the slits means that these states are spreading...

Thank you for the recommendation. Although with my level of education a QM book would probably be over my head. I will give it a try once I am finished with "Where does the Weirdness Go?" by David Lindley (currently reading) and "QED: The Strange Theory of Light and Matter" by Richard P...

PeroK I think I understand a little better now after reading some of David Lindley’s book, ”Where does the weirdness go”. Mind you, I still don't posses the education in physics or in mathematics to truly comprehend it intrinsically only theoretically and perhaps because of it, my logic may...

Once again thank you for the book reference. I'll add that to the other book you referred to. In fact, I've already downloaded a copy of each from Kindle. I'll have some light reading tonight. I'll let you know how it goes (or whether I'll be lost in the woods like Hansel and Gretel).

Thank you for the book reference. I'll into that. Yes. I may have been mislead by the media on Schrodinger's cat. Although, I knew that Schrodinger proposed it to suggest the ridiculousness of the Quantum states, because he saw the Quantum "weirdness" (aka superposition) as a problem.
