There are a couple of things I need clarification on.Demystifier said:Why orthodox quantum mechanists believe in flat Earth
When we measure any small patch of Earth, experiments show that each patch is flat (up to local mountains and valleys, which are not important here). Therefore experiments are consistent with flat Earth. Sure, if we try to collect all patches into a single object we get a round Earth, but this is wrong because different patches are complementary. There is no single measurement of all patches at once, so object consisting of all patches at once is a counter-factual. Those who claim that Earth is round assume counterfactual definiteness (CFD), or realism (belief that there is measurement-independent reality). But CFD/realism is wrong, which saves flatness of Earth.
QM way is the normal way.pinball1970 said:When you say 'complimentary' do you mean in a QM way or normal way?
Otherwise it doesn't matter, but it matters if the obvious fact that Earth is flat depends on it.pinball1970 said:Also why does measuring at the same time make a difference?
Say I make a measurement on a length of rod but my ruler is only part the length of the rod would it matter if I collated my measurements?
Bell was smart too (I'm not sure about his wife), and yet he concluded that QM is non-local. Being smart is not always an advantage.pinball1970 said:What if I was a little slow and measured part way and made a mark then went home and told my wife about my dilemma?
She is smarter than me explained the solution so I went back the next day and completed the measurement.
Two measurements separated in time but successfully completed.
Throw in an orientation in space for good measure, would this not be valid?
And now I continue it.pinball1970 said:I know this is the joke section but I think we can agree you started it.
Speaking of QM... USB connectors can also be in superposition:Demystifier said:QM way is the normal way.
Did you take the non-locality into account? When you measure length here, it instantaneously affects the measurements in Australia. And when you compare results you see that your measurements are incompatible with a flat Earth. It has to have a Bell shape.Demystifier said:Bell was smart too (I'm not sure about his wife), and yet he concluded that QM is non-local.
Did you mean Ball shape?martinbn said:It has to have a Bell shape.
Who is Ball?Demystifier said:Did you mean Ball shape?
He says he invented the sphere. Ironically, his claims turned out to be hollow.martinbn said:Who is Ball?
Mother Earth.martinbn said:Who is Ball?
So, he was a screwball?mfb said:Developer of the screw theory.
I'm not joking

Not related but there is this one https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/bugger , where at the end is the etymology of the wordBorg said:I was thinking more about this one - https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/screwball
Middle English bougre heretic, from Anglo-French bugre, from Medieval Latin Bulgarus, literally, Bulgarian; from the association of Bulgaria with the Bogomils, who were accused of sodomy.
