weirdoguy replied to the thread Learning physics beyond classical mechanics without labs?.I don't think so. Personally, I hated all labs, I did the bare minimum, I threw a wild party after the last lab, and I don't think it... -
weirdoguy reacted to martinbn's post in the thread I Is there any interpretation of QM that doesn't clash with intuition? with
Like.
Go on and explain my example. What is going on for the falling object to go on a parabolic path? Why not a log curve? -
weirdoguy reacted to syed's post in the thread I Is there any interpretation of QM that doesn't clash with intuition? with
Sad.
It is hard to distinguish between wrong interpretations and correct but unintuitive interpretations. I think that a lot of people just... -
weirdoguy reacted to phinds's post in the thread I Physicists disagree wildly on what quantum mechanics says about real… with Like.
No, that is not an interpretation, it is how you use math to describe reality. How you describe it in English is an interpretation.

Skeptical.
the theory doesn't tell you to shut up and calculate though, that itself is an interpretation :) but otherwise, agreed -

You have missed the point. The theory, that is the "shut up and calculate" math theory does NOT cause confusion and in fact is, as the...

weirdoguy reacted to div_grad's post in the thread I Example of complete set of operators with Like.
In mechanics, degrees of freedom are understood in the same sense that is given in the textbook passages I sampled in post #7 above. It...

weirdoguy reacted to anuttarasammyak's post in the thread I Example of complete set of operators with Skeptical.
As for the terminology question "Does "degrees of freedom" apply only for the coordinates in 3D space or also for 6ND coordinates in...

weirdoguy reacted to div_grad's post in the thread I Example of complete set of operators with Like.
The correct statement is that the phase space of a system with ##s=3## degrees of freedom is ##2s=6## dimensional. A simple pendulum...

weirdoguy reacted to PeterDonis's post in the thread A Challenge to Bohmian mechanics by Sharoglazova et al, Nature, 2025 with Like.
Which should not be used as a reference in this discussion, since we already have papers on both sides of the argument. Accordingly...

While that's not uninteresting, it's still off topic, since it's a pop science source. That's true. But... ...that's not. Most people...

weirdoguy replied to the thread Being bad at Physics.To the contrary, it is perfectly politically correct to say so. You just need to what those others mean when they talk about "equally...

weirdoguy reacted to PeterDonis's post in the thread I Does Time-Symmetry Imply Retrocausality? How does the Quantum World Say “Maybe”? with Like.
And such an issue is not resolvable here. No, he's not. He's saying he doesn't like what you and the references you cite are doing with...

weirdoguy reacted to kodama's post in the thread I Fermion doubling problem and three generations of standard model with Skeptical.

weirdoguy reacted to Sambuco's post in the thread I Does Time-Symmetry Imply Retrocausality? How does the Quantum World Say “Maybe”? with Sad.
You're very confused. First of all, I don't need to provide any additional reference to explain something as basic as how to apply the...
